My favorite mnemonic device to help me remember is UVAge and UVBurn
smart!
Omg i also came up with that while studying for my derm class 😛
Oh wow why I didn't I think if that
That’s also my method to memorize everything better! :)
Clever!
you should have 1M followers.instead ppl are taking advice from self proclaimed beauty gurus who have no medical background yet they tell ppl how to treat/hide/cover skin issues w makeup/overpriced serums/creams, etc
Deep af..true af!
That's partly true. Some people who do give advice about skin do say to take it with a pintch of salt. Also a youtuber like Hyrum who gives some advice does give good advice but he isn't saying to ditch the dermatologist. Be says to go see one what this is for information and fun, in every skin video.
@@Asumi441 but is unfair hyram didn't have to study almost a decade he is helping but Andrea should have more suscribers
Hahah Happy to report to past you that she has over a million Followers now! 😁
I have my car windshield and side windows coated with a clear Llumar UV sheeting whenever I buy a new car. The spf is 25+, and it also reduces the heat in the car (from the sun). It is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
Good advice!
I wanna do this
Thanks! Didn’t know this existed.
Laura Jaren thank you. Could you tell me how much it costs ? Could that be applied to home windows
Tripthi Rasquinha If you google Llumar UV coating and access their website, they have a retail-locator by zipcode so you can find an installer. It's a couple of hundred dollars depending on how many windows and the installer. Melanoma runs in my family so I take precautions.
Good luck!
Oh, Dr. Dray, just got word that my friend from high school (we are age 66) is at Cleveland Clinic for surgery (yesterday) for what she says is an aggressive cancer...Merkel cell carcinoma. She put a warning out to everyone that it is caused from tanning outside and tanning bed... back in the day. We did not use sunscreen back then either. Please, everyone, do as Dr. Dray tells us....use your sunscreen and for the little ones too. I hope my friend will be ok. :-(
Jen Midwest sorry to hear about your friend. Hope everything goes well with her surgery and gets well soon 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, Vartouhi Asadourian.
I hope that too, Jen.
I've been wearing sunscreen indoors for yearrrrs already my mom used to yell at me bc she thought I was over exaggerating. I would reapply in the bathroom, they didn't understand and still kinda don't. Def was annoying but I didn't care and still do it
good work
I have used sunscreen for years, but nothing like I do now because of you!!! I so appreciate you sharing all your knowledge!!! Very informative video!!!
:)
The photo of that lady office worker was shocking!
You're so pretty 😭😭
I am an esthetician, and I remember teachers showing us pictures of truckers who were driving trucks for 10+ years and you would be surprised at how much damage does the sun do to our skin! Basically, all of their right sides (the driving side - close to the truck side window) were full of wrinkles, pigmentations and just overall looked very much different than their left sides (close to the center of the truck), that were smooth and had less pigmentations, skin was looking really good. It’s seriously amazing to see that and you realize that all about the sun damage is true! Take care after yourselves, people!
I can't get over the picture of that lady's face. I haven't always been consistent with wearing protection indoors but will definitely be more mindful of it now! Thanks so much.
I know, right?!
I’m totally and absolutely OBSESSED with your videos! I watch you at home, during my breaks, taking car rides, when I’m cooking... You provide so much informative and valuable content, I share your videos with whom ever I can. I even got my boyfriend into watching your videos and now we both practice healthy skin habits together. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Im forever a fan! #LoveYouDoc
As always I am smarter after watching your video.
I have all of my windows at home tinted with grey, heating blocking and 99% UV blocking films but i still wear SPF 30 at home, because i sometimes open my windows or go do groceries etc.
What I like about Dr Dray is she does not hold back the detailed information as if we are not clever enough to understand - thank you! It is refreshing.
If for no other reason, I will be eternally thankful that I found your channel to find out (for the 1st time) that sunscreen is needed inside! At 69 yrs old and having had a melanoma in 1997 I take sunscreen very seriously now. I can't believe that none of the dermatologists that I've seen have ever told me that. Well, you can bet that I apply it indoors now and thank you sooooo much!
i am sorry to hear you had to go through a melanoma dx
I’ve honestly never heard of UVA coming through windows, I find that frightening. Why are so many misinformed and not properly educated about sun damage? I’ve used tanningbeds in the past and thought I was ”doing good” just by stopping that habit a couple of years ago 😰.
uva also does not have anything to do with vitamin D synthesis (which most people are fixated on the "need" for "good" vitmain D from sun")....most of the sun that hits you isn't even relevant to vitamin D synthesis
Dr Dray thank you for spreading this information around the globe through your channels, you’ve got a lot of people listening to you know! You’re doing an awsome job in educating us! And entertaining us as well 😊🌟❤️
I immediately re-applied sunscreen as soon as I saw my notification. lol!
Maricris R. Lolol ME TOOOO!!!
Hahahaha! So did I! Even though it's raining outside!
Haha! It’s Pavlovian; I did it, too. ☺️
but how can we do this if we are wearing makeup
Classicgirl I heard someone say that you take a beauty blender put the sunscreen on and damp it on your skin over your makeup
Once again you’re answering questions I didn’t know I had. Thank you!
Once again thank you for educating us in a relatable and compelling manner. My sunscreen game has changed since following you. I’ve discovered some additional cosmetic benefits to being committed to sunscreen application that others may appreciate. I no longer use cosmetics to achieve the “dewy” look to my skin both with and without foundation. A plan over layer of sunscreen adds that on its own and actually makes my makeup application look better!!! I also believe that sunscreen works better as a “primer” than products marketed as such. I encourage women who don’t want to give up wearing foundation to substitute sunscreen for primers and highlighters. Wish I would have made this discovery when I was younger I would have saved some money and would have prevented some sun damage. I’ve always been that person who avoids the sun when outdoors, staying in the shade but after listening to this I realize I’ve been exposed in ways I hadn’t realized. I can’t go back and change what I did in the past but I will be controlling what I do in the future managing my sunscreen use more responsibly and perfectly! Thanks Dr Dray for your msg
:)
I don't doubt this a bit. I'm fair and I've always stayed a light pink all summer despite wearing sunscreen outside. Definitely wearing it indoors now!
why does the sun have to be that bad for gods sake
Well, that’s also partially our fault. With the pollution we are thinning the ozone layer in our atmosphere so much more of those bad sun rays are hitting us right through. I think sun is going to get much stronger and worse for us in the future... also when humans lost their “fur” our skin became much more sensitive to the environment.
@@samantarizzi248 well said:)
Free mind 😉
Never touched sunscreen until I got sun burn and pigmentation last year. And now its my fvrt product in skin care. A big thanks to you. :)
I have my coffee and my daily dish of Dr. Dray.. what more can I ask for?! Happy Friday Dr. Dray!!! 😊
To be honest with you I like the way sunscreen feels on my skin .Thank you Dr. Dray☕️
music to my ears!
I always learn so much from you! I enjoy these videos so much, and they have been life changing for me. You helped me find a sunscreen that I can actually use, and now I just got in all of my hats. I'm so excited! I am ordering clothes, sunglasses, and chapstick today. My father has skin cancer, so you have really been able to put my mind at ease by educating me on what I can do to avoid this for myself. We love you , and love seeing your mom and the dog in the videos!!! The dog is so cute!!!! Thanks again for all you do!!!
Hi dr dray,
Would UV still penetrate through the window if there's no direct sunlight? Just visible light
My allergic reactions were worse on my left arm and realized the sun from driving was probably the culprit even with sunscreen on. Got full opera lengths gloves with UV protection and my skin is so happy 🤓. Thanks Dr. Dray.
Hey Dr. Dray! Great informative video as usual. I’ve had to step up my sun protection game since being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. I’ve worn sunscreen everyday for years. But I didn’t reapply and I didn’t wear a hat. Now I do both on a daily basis. Hope you’re having a great day!
Alainia C same here, I was diagnosed with Sjogrens and being tested again for lupus. Spf and dark glasses here, try to avoid sun as much as I can get away with !
I have Sjögren’s as well. I hope everything comes out ok with your tests.
Another helpful video! Do window blinds offer additional protection in your home? I have the wooden type and in the warm months they stay closed because it helps keep the ac bill down.
I actually wear sunscreen as a habit. But when I am on a hike or a job or on the freeway, I wear a Buff--a stretchy cylindrical cloth that gives me absolute sun protection. I will not wear it while driving or walking on city streets, because I don't want to scare people. I take it on and off, but there's always sunscreen underneath. I'm a dude pushing fifty but most people think I'm pushing thirty. My mom used to make me do this and I got teased in high school by other boys--moisturizer, sunscreen, vaseline. But I went to my 30 year reunion and those guys look chewed up and spit out.
Excellent talk. One of the most informative yet. Everyone should be taught this info early on, it could save lives. I am sharing what I learn here and encouraging people to subscribe to your channel. You are a gem.
I got a Japanese hat clip with a UV sensitive bead on it. The bead goes purple when exposed to UV light, the darker the colour, the more UV present. While I was on a holiday road trip recently, the bead was dark purple even inside the car! So reapply, people!
that is so cool! i need one of those
firnheledien can you share a link? Would love that for a gift idea
item.rakuten.co.jp/roseblanc/gc-39/
Use Google translate to purchase. I can't really read Japanese but the Chrome browser translate extension works great. This shop ships internationally too. I have 2 of their hats (the oldest is about 2 years old), a parasol and this hat clip in orange. All very high quality. Everything is machine washable too.
Thank you Dr Dray for this informative video. I have been following your advice in terms of sunscreen and skincare and my skin is much better now thanks to you. xoxo
6:00 clear glass 72%, filter out UV-B, not A
7:20 laminated glass. Filters 99%.
I am 45 and have never worn sunscreen when I am just staying indoors, although I always wear it outdoors. While I was watching your video it hit me - I grow houseplants - specifically African violets and their kin - and I know what kind of light they need to grow and that they get it through the windows! I just never connected it in my brain before.! Off to put on sunscreen.
yeah the uva can really take a toll on the skin
@@DrDrayzday One thing I notice - again with plants- is I have to move plants further from the window or use shades in the WINTER not the summer. In the winter the lower sun angle comes right through the window and burns the plants whereas in summer I can leave the plants nearer the window with no shades because the sun is largely overhead. I don't know if that is a warning for skin as well.
It was exactly the same that made me think about wearing spf indoors. My plants get enough light to grow indoors so now I wear spf every day, even when indoors
What about LED lights? Or the indoor lights we have nowadays, do they damage our skin?
no
I am curious about that too. So visible light refers to solar visible light or ALL visible light??
yes, as does computer screens, ipads..etc
John Johnson some blue light can damage. You should try to reduce blue light from your smartphone screen, computer
@@MaquiagemparaEles yeah, as far as i know my skin barrier is weak and blue lights affect the health of my skin, it differs from a person to another tho
Thank you for clarifying all of this Dr. Dray! I've tried researching this myself, but found it to be so confusing. Basically always layer on sunscreen!!!!😎
I am sure you are having a big impact on the health of your viewers. Never would I have thought that I would ditch makeup for sunscreen and start wearing sun sleeves but you have me converted ☺
I had Melanoma 7 years ago. A little blemish, or so I thought, turned out to be stage 2A Melanoma. What a wake up call for me. Sunscreen!Sunscreen!Sunscreen! Love your videos Dr Dray :) Off topic but what do you think about Sebamed face and body wash? Thanks for all you do!
Could you get skin damage from other light sources than the sun? Happy Friday
liesje v I am curious about this too!
liesje v anything that puts out uv rays, yes. tanning beds obviously, also uv boxes that are used in some art processes and to cure nail polish, welding.
When I started working from home 8 years ago, I thought I didn't need to wear sunscreen on the days I was inside all day long. That was a huge mistake. Years later, my skin became photosensitive, I have rosacea, and melasma. :( My home has many east and west facing windows, so light comes in all day long. This year however, I purchased UPF curtains, and I do wear sunscreen now every single day while indoors.
I am never tired of your talking about UV protections.
:)
You are so kind to get and share so much information for us. .. I saw your notes. You took this very seriously. Thank you! 🌹
This was an amazing Q&A!!! Reapply, reapply, reapply!!!
DC Dray I stay inside with my curtains and blackout. No Sun. I never use sunscreen at home and I am very fair. My skin never get red because I completely avoid even indirect light.
UV-A(ages you) UV-B(burns you). All because you are not getting burned doesn't mean you're not getting hit with UV rays. I tend to agree with you, but you're presenting your counter-argument incorrectly.
Kari Garcia even if u wear sunscreen u are still exposed to radiation. unless u have a special condition its all about sensibleness
Coffee and Dr Dray time!!! Happy Friday!
This was very informative. I’ve always been good about wearing sunscreen and I feel lucky I’ve learned to wear even more now and reapply! I’m only 20 but you know I’m trying to prevent aging & skin cancer! My friends think I’m crazy for all the sunscreen I wear. They don’t understand!!
Kelsey p hi , did it make your skin better?
Kelsey p Well when they start aging and getting wrinkles and looking old and then look for anti aging shit to remedy it in 10 years or even less while you still look the same, they’ll regret not wearing sunscreen.
Yay, my coolibar order came in and I can’t wait to wear my shirt and hat! I’m glad the fitness tee is in a lighter fabrication so I won’t overheat too much!
Wow, impacting message! I’ve seen a similar picture of a truck driver who had more photo skin damage on his left side than his right side, similar to the one you showed. I also work close to a window which I appreciate the view, but I’ve been reapplying sunscreen mid day to prevent skin damage. Thx for the reminder and I’ve enjoying testing several sunscreens you’ve recommended. I love your sunscreen reviews! Have a great weekend! 👍🏼
How damaging are the fluorescent lights in my work office compared to the UV coming through the windows ?
How strong of UVA and UVB protection do I need if I only stay in this work office?
hammypie
Great question......
Visible light can also damage the skin, mostly blue light. In order to combat blue light, you can use a sunscreen with iron oxides (which is in anything that has a tint, like makeup or tinted sunscreen). I don’t think visible/blue light is particularly dangerous, but it does contribute to hyper pigmentation. As far as UV protection, spf 15 protects from 93% of UVB, spf 30 = 97% of UVB, and spf 50 = 98%. However that’s strictly UVB, UVA doesn’t really have a good measure (some countries use PA), but I’d recommend a sunscreen with zinc oxide spf 30-50 because it will be very stable and protect from both UVA/UVB.
Juan Andrés 🙏🏼😊 ok i need to start wearing things with iron oxides. So ANYTHING that’s tinted must have iron oxides?
@@hammypie yes ...
Short answer is YES
This was great! If you ever need a backup career you could easily be a teacher.
would love to :)
I love learning about UV protection! ❤️
:)
Thanks for this! And thanks also for the JAAD reference! My brother didn't believe me when I said tinted windows don't protect from all types of UV light!
:)
Great video...I wear sunscreen everyday because of your videos I’m so thankful for all the information you share!
:)
If those photos don't convince viewers to use sunscreen, nothing will! Great info, clear explanation that lay people can understand. Had my annual whole body check at Dermatology yesterday. All good except hands. I wash them often and don't always reapply sunscreen. Great video :-)
bogey Bognar OMG, these photos are shocking! This man is only two years older than me! His skin looks ancient. I wonder what Andrea's face will look like in her older age after lifelong conscientious sunscreen use.
I got the red rose strawberry cheesecake tea in the mail this week. It’s really good! I’m always wanting something sweet in the evenings and this is a great no-calorie alternative.
I have my car window tinted at a professional shop, the manufacture info states it blocks up to 400nm. How reliable do you think this is? Do you think this would be equivalent to wearing a good sunscreen with very good UVA UVB protection?
Fantastic topic as usual! I may have missed it but have you ever done a video on anti pollution skin care? Seems like so many products popping up claiming to be anti pollution but I can’t get my head around how that works!
I loved this Q&A (well, I love them all), and I am going to be more vigilant about indoor sun protection at work. I sit under sky lights and next to a row of windows. My coworkers get bent out of shape if I close the blinds, and I have been "talked to" about opening an umbrella to shield myself against the overhead sunlight -- and to reduce the glare on my monitor that is exposed to sooo much light.
I may start wearing a sun hat at my desk as an added layer of protection.
I remember you mention you keep the handy nivea pump spf in your drawer for clandestine reapplication ;)
Dr Dray so true! Your memory is fantastic!
Just figured out why the eczema on the left side of my neck has been flaring up.... Thanks!
:)
Theresa Lawson same on my arm and hand
Slathered on the sunscreen before I left the house this morning.
I never knew any of this especially about the windshield and that picture really shows the true results it can have
:)
could someone elaborate on the effect of constant sunscreen in relation to creating sufficient Vit D ? Is this of concern or not?
I'm interested in that too
@@Mandy3141 sadly none seems to be able to conclusively answer this :/
Dr. Dray, I realized what a big fan I am when my coworker was told by his dermatologist if he’s not careful he will have cancer by age 40 as he is very fair, bald and in his 20’s. So naturally I asked him if he wears sunscreen daily and he replied “NO, I’m rarely in the sun“ OMG, I went Dr Dray on him and I couldn’t stop laughing at myself when I shared Sunscreen & Subscribe 😂
:)
I truly admire you🌸 As a Child/adolescent psych fellow I appreciate and enjoy a channel where you are empowering all of us with knowledge without neglecting the mind/body interconnection (Just saw your psoriasis video👍🏻❤️) lots of love from Puerto Rico 🌸
you had me at child/adolescent psych! we need more of you!!!
Very informative! Dr dray, have you tried cerave's lip balm spf 30? I bought it recently and love it. I was using Paula's choice but this is cheaper and I like how it feels on the lips better. It's not shiny and I swear my lips stay hydrated a lot longer.
What do you recommend for someone who works from home but sits in front of a computer all day? What kind of sunscreen blocks the light from that?
Michelle Burton I would like to know too cause I work from home also
If you’re concerned about HEV (High Energy Visible) aka blue light Dr. Dray recommends tinted sunscreens with iron oxides which absorb these wavelengths. Keep in mind makeup products like foundations also usually contain iron oxides and will afford you blue light protection (though not SPF unless otherwise stated).
Thanks Dave A
I thank you again for teaching us SO much on skin protection! Who knew? Also, for those of us with older, dry, sensitive skin , who faithfully wear sunscreen, and have difficulty removing it completely, I have a question: do you find that unscented cold cream works as well, or better than micellar water? This , of course, would be the first step in a 2-part cleanse. Thank you for any advice!
That photo was shocking! :O And this video was very informative again, thank you!
Happy Friday!
Dr Dray Same to you, thank you :)
Thanks for this information Dr. Dray! I saved this YT in my Dr. Dray playlist :-). Looking forward to your weekend vlogs with Mom!
Thanks for watching!
Yeah Friday, Yeah Dr. Dray!!!! I feel like I'm taking classes when watching your vids!!! Love love your videos!!! I need to do better at apply sunscreen inside as well, just because I'm inside doesn't mean UVA is out! 😭😭. Thank you for such an educational video.
Great info Ms Andrea! Happy Friday! 🤙🏻❤️
I see Totoro is having a spa day 😆 Thank you so much for this helpful video! I've always wondered about this. Glad to hear my sunroof still blocks more than I thought 😎
I apologize if you've already addressed this; I'm relatively new to your channel. Will lip sunscreens prevent recurrence of HSV-1? I only get outbreaks when I've been in the sun longer than usual. Thank you for your wonderful channel!
how to protect your skin when cooking? and do i need sunscreen?
I invested in RayBan sunglasses because I figured good quality sunglasses would last me a long time, but now I keep reading that they should be replaced every 3 years or so because the UV protective treatment degrades over time. I never leave my sunglasses in the car or exposed to direct sunlight except when I'm wearing them (and I usually wear a hat as well), hopefully this will prolong their life a bit. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this Dr Dray!
i would follow the manufacturer instructions
Thanks for great info as always. Please share your thoughts and advice on dealing with skin rashes, eczema, sun sensitivity caused by medications, including chemotherapy/ oncology drugs. Normally oncologists only talk about side effects on skin and hair but not how to sooth or deal with it at home. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for this video! ❤️ How about light from tv/ cell phone/ computer? Is there any evidence that we need protection for these lights? Thanks
Those lights are not strong enough to cause damage
I was wondering if the visible light that enters from the window contains uv rays even though it's not direct sunlight ...?
Any idea about how much protection offer curtains or motorized blinds.
Like that woman you showed us, I’ve seen a similar photo of a trucker who spent ages on the roads with UV light corrupting the left side of his exposed skin. PS - I got some Supergoop today, no Two-Face for me!
I started using sunscreen at home because of your vedios 😘
Hi Dr. Dray thank you great video. I have a long sleeve shirt with the thumb sleeves and i put it on in my car always when i drive. I also have a sun shield for my drivers side window. I feel like people get alot of their skin damage while driving everyday.
I am grateful to find you on youtube :)
I should definitely start my search for an affordable sunscreen with high uva protection for when I am in the house. But, how effective curtains can be for filtering uv that comes through windows? Thanks ❤.
depends on the fabric
A good guide would be the opacity of the fabric. If it lets very less light pass through, then you'll be fine
Okay. . . . . but what if one works indoors NOT by any windows? Or far away from windows? Think: casinos, retail stores inside a mall etc. . . .
(I still put sunscreen on for the 15 min of sun exposure I get on the bus ride to and from work, but other than that, there's no windows in the cash office, and at home I'm mostly in my bedroom which is in the basement, so I don't get much sun =P)
FANTASTIC info on this Q&A Dr Dray😎!! Definitely sharing this with my daughters especially for the little grandloves that are the passengers in the car!!The one little peanut is a beautiful redhead with such porcelain fair skin!!So appreciate your dedication to getting this info out to us all!!xoxo 😎😙😎
Dr Dray* I see your list of suncreens, but can't find the video of the *waxy sunscreen * the video you did not long ago.I don't want to order that one by mistake!Thanks so much for your time😊
That one is the Kanebo Allie UV white
Dr Dray ...Oh thanks so so Much....you are an Angel 😇, with all your subbies comments you still answered ... love you!!
Thank you dr. Dray for all the effort you take in making these videos. I'm a big fan of all your videos on various skin products. I would like to request you to do a review of lacto calamine daily face care lotion. It contains kaolin, zinc oxide and aloe vera as active ingredients I believe. I've been using this product for about a decade as a sunscreen. I'm not sure if it even helps me protect my skin against UVA and UVB rays.
Perfect upload timing. Just got my coffee.
I understand that UVA comes in through clear glass windows in the home. What if you put up black out blinds in your home's windows and the room is basically dark with very little visible light coming in....does that protect a person from UVA ?
Yes, it does. The opacity of a substance is a great guide to its spf. Hold the fabric against light- if little light passes through- for eg denim, then it has a high spf.
Do you recommend sunscreen in winter? Even if you live in a climate where it's not very sunny and it is cold? Can I use the same sunscreen on my face as my body and when do I apply it? After my morning shower? How often would I apply.
I was advised by my healthcare provider to wear spf 50 even in winter, and I live in a country like you describe, if that helps :)
Good information. I did not know this stuff. Also, since I started watching your channel I have learned so much. Thanks
Happy Friday!
No one ever really talks about the daylight/UV exposure we may get in the mornings before getting out of bed and applying SPF. I imagine you use blackout curtains in your bedroom?
yep....added bonus on the utility bill
As always such great information that most people are not aware of!!

I now have the habit of reapplying sunscreen every 2 hours, thanks to you 😎
A question for another video... what is Miceller Water? I’ve used it to remove makeup but what is it made from and what should we know about it from your perspective? Thanks Dr. Drey!! ☀️
Dr. Dray, thanks for another amazing video. Can you help answer the question if long term use of Retina is not recommended? The internet has a variety of information and I was informed that being on it for 20 years is not good and is does not allow the cells to turn over on their own. I am afraid to get of it in fear of losing the benefits I have seen through the years. Any advice?
Happy Friday Dr Dray!!! Thank you 🙏 ❤️
Great vlog! Very enlightening! My whole skincare regimen has changed dramatically, and my skin has also!🌼💕🤗

Hi, thank you!!! Can you do the video for flights sunscreen routine? specially for flight attendants?
Great info as always. My daughter who has suffered from eczema her entire life now has dyshidrotic eczema too. I purchased her Cerave and Vanicream to try based on your reviews. She had been using DML for years but her skin isn't responding to it like it once did. We thought we would try changing things up a bit to see if it helps her.
What is dml?
