Just a tip that I learned from my dermatologist. The easiest way to have your skin absorb the correct amount of sunscreen is to put it on in layers. Put some on, wait a couple minutes, put some more on right on top of your original layer etc. it’s much easier to rub in and you still get the correct amount of coverage. I find this is the best way…especially for your face.
“A for aging; B for burning” that is genius! For me sunscreen is the most important skincare product I use; second is tretinoin. Thank you Angie, great video!
I haven't even watched this yet I'm at work. But I can't wait. I never get tired of this topic. I need the reminders to continue wearing the appropriate amount and reapplying. It's so easy to go lightly and not want to reapply. Thanks for helping keep us doing what we should!
Because of you, Angie, I have used sunscreen on my face everyday for the past 5 years. Admittedly, I often miss my neck. That photo you shared was a shocking kick in the butt! I will never skip my neck again. Interesting side note: I have the Coola sunscreen spray and the instructions for how to apply state that it should NEVER be sprayed directly onto the face. Rather, one is to spray the sunscreen on the hand and then apply to the face. I have to say, kudos to Coola 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you Angie. I brought up this topic to my co worker’s at lunch yesterday. They thought I was crazy. They think the sunscreen in their makeup is really just enough. I’m going to share this with them today.
I know that look!! I wish it was common knowledge that the SPF on the label won't be the SPF on your face if you don't apply enough... hopefully we can change that!! Thanks for educating your co-workers!! xo ~a.
Two years ago one of your videos made me realize I needed a magnifying mirror for applying makeup better. It was then I saw this tiny bump on the inside corner of my upper eye lid. I knew exactly what it was because I had a basal cell on my cheek at 16 years old. Sure enough that's what it was. So I'm embarrassed to say that I was thinking that I might get a mini eye job out of this because basal cell doesn't spread, right? Not that worried because I've been down this road before. Well then my doctor ordered an MRI to make sure it hadn't spread to my eye and if so, I could lose it and/or my tear duct(s). Boy that sure changed things! Luckily it didn't spread down into my socket, but required MOHS surgery and then I was sent right after the removal (a huge hole for a tiny bump) to a reconstructive eye surgeon that same day. He had to take tissue from my other eye lid to fill the hole and put a stint in my tear duct. I'm 52 and that was a wakeup call! Both surgeons said this is so common in that area so for anyone reading this, don't forget to go around your eyes! I never did because of chemical sunscreens burning and finally realized mineral sunscreens did not. You'd think every derm would tell you little things like this and maybe they assume everyone knows, but I had to learn on TH-cam. All the tanning beds/laying out in the 80's and soccer games in flip flops have done some damage, but no more. I'm on board now, finally. And I used to be a pharmaceutical rep calling on derms! When we're young we think we're invincible. So, I just had to tell you. I came to your channel for makeup advice and you ended up possibly saving my eye, Angie. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I've been meaning to tell you since my surgery last year and this video reminded me and I hope you see this.
Thank you for sharing your story. More people need to hear this. I had melanoma several years ago, and I felt similar to you. My derm didn’t tell me much I had to learn things on TH-cam. I would also recommend wearing large sun glasses with UVA and UVB protection. I love my Maui Jim’s☺️
Right, right, right, again! You are saving lives, Angie. As a genetic skin cancer survivor, I know what you’re saying is true and too often overlooked. Thanks to you, I have several face, body ,serum, and powder spfs for any day of the week 🥰🥰🥰
You’re doing so much good trying to educate people about sunscreen. So many intelligent people are running around with dangerous notions about these topics and it truly creates a health crisis which is avoidable with good practices and knowledge.
I believe in multiple sources so I watched Doctorly (Dr. Shah), Lab Muffin, and Glow By Ramon measure their faces and do the math; and they all concluded about 1/4 tsp total for face, neck and ears. I think they mentioned different densities of formulas but it’s negligible. Lab Muffin said mineral sunscreens have about 1/5 less volume than chemical but how precisely are you really going to measure day to day? And your videos are always so informative and like listening to a really smart girl friend or sister. Thanks for discussing reapplication. 70% of SPF 50 by the end of the day is still great! I’ve been topping off once midday with a thinner layer because I figure the goal is to maintain an even film since modern filters don’t degrade as much as they migrate with skin oils or get rubbed off during the day. I’m glad you also mentioned hats and sunglasses. My regular eyeglasses also have UV Protection.
My husband had a small melanoma on his chest at 29 and I've been the Sunscreen Police ever since! I'm 43 now and I have a lot fewer fine lines on my face thanks to all that SPF. Thanks to your videos, I've discovered many wonderful new sunscreen options!
Angie thank you for always keeping prevention in the forefront of your beauty channel especially when it comes to skin cancer . Skin is the largest organ on our body , let’s keep it protected
Hi Angie, Great and useful common sense information, so thank you for sharing today. I must admit, I was a quantity sceptic at first, regarding the quarter teaspoon amount, so I measured it out myself, and yes, a quarter teaspoon is eight pumps and much bigger than appears on screen. Quite surprising, yes!
When I was first married, my MIL who lived in FL would tease me about wearing a big hat and sunglasses and sitting in the shade at the beach. She told me that a tan looked “healthy”! So now I’m soon to be 75 and my skin is great! So glad I didn’t follow her advice…and I’ve lived in Fl for 16 years now and still wear sunscreen, big hats and sit in the shade! Keep preaching sunscreen, Angie!
There's no such thing as too much sunblock, especially for us retin-a users. It's funny - it's the SAME people who can't believe I'm 64 who think it's odd I uses so much sunblock! Every day, 365 days a year! Ahhh, the irony.
IKR? People always say "Whatever you're doing it's working" and when I start talking about sunscreen they glaze over... So happy the info's getting out there!!!
Thank you for your consistent message about sunscreen! The sun’s rays, as much as I love them, are horrible for me suffering from melasma. I have managed my melasma with a sunscreen that contains zinc oxide 20 or higher, add a Tinted moisturizer with spf, and a mineral powder with spf over. I am so GRATEFUL that we have so many sunscreens to choose from now, tinted or otherwise, we have come long ways to protect our skin. We just have to understand how important it is to protect it. Thank you again for keep reminding us of this!
Agree 100% Maria!! Sunscreen has come a LONG way since I first started testing it years ago. I'm so happy there are so many on the market now so everyone can find something they love using!
I apply my sunscreen in the morning; I apply one layer, wait a minute or two and then go in with a second layer. I top up with mineral powder SPF from Brush on block, skinscience, Peter Thomas Roth, (now discontinued) and one from a Spanish brand. I tap it over my makeup rather than rubbing as this seems to prevent the bristles picking up any oils from my skin. I am very conscious of where the sun is and always walk in the shade. I wear hats and take sun protection very seriously since living with melasma is no joke. As always Angie, thank you for addressing this topic thoroughly and, providing sound information and advice. Have a beautiful day.

Hello! I just got to sit down with my hand quilting and to watch your video. I hope you have a glorious and creative week ahead! Thank you for sharing your video and your talent.
Such awesome information! One thing I learned after getting sunburned is check expiration date. Years ago my entire family was on vacation and we all got burned. We use the same bag leaving multiple sunscreen bottles in it all the time. Lesson learned.
Oh my gosh, today I actually got out a 1/4 tsp and measured my sunscreen, and it’s way more than I thought. I was sure I was using 1/4 tsp before but I was not. Wow.
I'm so grateful to my esthetician (she's also an NP)who found a suspicious blemish on the side of my nose. Sure enough, I saw my dermatologist and she said it was a precancerous lesion. She removed it, and I go back for a followup. The effects of the sun are definitely cumulative. I stopped baking in my 20s, use sunscreen daily, and every once in awhile, a precancerous spot crops up. If I'm driving in the afternoon, I do use a powder mineral sunscreen. I believe it's by Mineral Fusion. I love the hat. That's something that I truly need. Thanks for the great information, Angie. 🥰❤❤
Thank you for another truly great and informative video! 😊 👏 Just one thing: The volume (ml) may differ depending on the formula, it’s the weight (mg) that’s the same in the testing of the spf. For instance, oils and silicones weigh a lot less than equal volume of water and glycerin, they differ in density. How much air that’s “whipped” into an emulsion may also differ and effect the difference in volume. That’s most notable if it’s a mousse, like EVY’s sunscreens. But I think keeping to the ¼-½ tsp rule is still the way to go. If it gets too complicated, some may just get confused and skip using sunscreen altogether. As they say, the best sunscreen is the one you use!
Angie bringing the videos we didn’t know we needed. This was great. Thank you for touching on the vitamin D argument. My mother-in-law has a pool and always cracks jokes when she sees how much sunscreen I put on my kids. She always reminds me they won’t get their vitamin D when I’m sunscreening them. It drives me nuts. Now I’ve started saying the research doesn’t support that. :)
Im a sunscreen convert thanks to you! While I always thought it was important, I just didn’t make that much of an effort unless I was going to be laying out. Now it’s my go to every morning! Wish I hadn’t waited until 40, but better late than never! Thank you!
Ulta brand has a setting spray with sunscreen 50 that is great to top off over makeup. It doesnt change the look of my makeup at all and offers great protection.
I came across a Korean sunscreen in a cushion compact. It’s rated 50 ++++. It’s very convenient to carry, doesn’t leak and you can put it over your existing foundation/cc cream without too much disturbance. It’s also moisturizing without being greasy.
Thank you so much for this timely information. My husband and I went to the dermatologist yesterday to check some moles. The Dr told my husband that he had precancerous marks mostly on his left side of his face but also on right side. He prescribed a topical chemotherapy cream that blisters the skin I’m assuming to resurface it and burn off liaisons. My husband works outside so is exposed to sun constantly. He is using a zinc oxide spf 50 cream now. Wish there were more mineral based spfs for men who don’t want a tinted product. Thank you again.
What a thoroughly informative , researched and fact based guide to sunscreen Angie ! When I began actually measuring a 1/4 tsp. of sunscreen it was surprising to see how much that really was . Your comment about those questioning your ability to measure cracked me up ! Spot on delivery as per usual ! Bravo 👏👏👏👏♥️😎Pam
Great video, Angie. I’m living up north with snow-filled winters and most people are outright shocked when I mention using sunscreen year round. I think the sun reflecting off the snow is often overlooked.
Hi Angie, Watching this with stitches on my nose from my Moh's (skin cancer) surgery last week. I truly believe that the basal cell carcinoma that I had (and will have more, I'm sure) is from the sun exposure as a kid, before there were sunscreens, I'm 59. Especially since I've worn sunscreen on my face everyday for 35 or more years. I have trouble doing so well on my arms and backs of hands but am striving to do better. I'm hoping that when the 30 and 40 year olds get to be older, they see way less skin cancer than we do just because they grew up in a time when sunscreen was available. Thanks for the video and good info. Hope people are taking action and not just listening.
I need to show your story to my MIL. She’s about 10 years older than you but gives me a hard time every time I slather my kids up in sunscreen at the pool. Cracks jokes that I’m going overboard, and they won’t get their vitamin D. Best of luck recovering from your surgery!
@@embeth446 I think EVERYONE should look up pictures of Mohs surgery online and show them to their loved ones. My surgery was small but no one wants any kind of hole cut into their face when it’s very preventable. The pictures are really a wake-up call not too difficult to look at but quite informative
I bought the R&R Sun Serum and I find it too “shiny” for me. I’m surprised you like it as well as you do as you often DON’T like products that have too much sheen. I’ll use it but go back to my Elta MD. Thanks for all the recommendations!!
Wow. You are a gem, Angie! This was incredibly informative, and I thought I was pretty well informed. We are never too old to take better care of ourselves.
Don't forget: it's 1/4 teaspoon for face, ears, and neck. Not just to the face. That means 1/8 teaspoon for just half of your face will be giving you more like 1/2 teaspoon for your face, ears, and neck. While there is no harm in overapplying, aside from to your wallet, it will also feel less cosmetically elegant as you found. Most women only need 1/4 teaspoon for face, ears, and neck.
So very informative! I started using sunscreen every single day in February 2021. I had no idea I needed to do this until I started watching TH-cam and found your channel. I only wore it when I though I needed it when I was outside, at the beach, pool, lake, etc. Thank you so much!
Hi, esty here! I love this video. Thank you for spreading the importance of sunscreen. Your research and presentation is great! It is important to remember that the sun is far stronger today than in the 90's. The ozone changes every lunar eclipse and the sun gets closer to the earth making uva and uvb stronger. If you live in a sunny state, I recommend 40 spf or higher. Great vid.!
You informed and influenced me that using 1/4 tsp sunscreen on my face and and additional on neck/upper chest Every. Single. Day. I am not outside much, but I live where it can be quite warm in early Spring, Summer and early Autumn, and blotting perspiration results in some loss of SPF, so I reapply at least twice a day. I consider SPF to be an essential skincare step now and think my skin looks better, but I wish I had started before my early 50’s. I am very pale and burn before any tan occurs, so I have damaged my skin through sunburns on a number of occasions, especially when a child and teenager. After playing around with some of the mineral sunscreens that you scored very high, I learned about and discovered a few Japanese and Korean sunscreens that work really well for me, either a combination mineral/chemical or 100% chemical variety. The biggest difference is I am happy to wear them Every. Single. Day. Thank you.
Thanks for this video Angie, confirms a lot of my research. Wearing spf is so important. You can prevent further damage if you don’t start until later in life, definitely wish I had started earlier.
Thank you, Angie! Your always so clear and informative. I’m 32 years old and love your channel, I’m constantly sending them to my mom and she has picked up many tips from you. I love my sunscreen and I get made fun of by family and friends constantly and I always say one day they will get it 😏
An excellent, informative and helpful video, Angie! We are sold so much bs about sunscreens, but this tells it like it is, with science, evidence-based info - and with added hat advice too - after all, after 50 (or in my case 60) we need to keep our faces shaded otherwise we are likely to get brown spots and other delightful marks popping up on our skin - I guess we're lucky in the UK as the sun isn't as strong, but covering up is as important as sunscreen application. Thanks for this great advice!
I do have trouble in the summer if I get hot and sweat, sunscreen running into my eyes and stinging. I was using Neutrogena ultra sheer dry touch spf 45. I found CeraVe moisturizer with sunscreen stung my eyes less, however it doesn't spread out as evenly, and shows more.
Very informative video as always Angie. I guess I'm lucky in that I'm photosensitive and have always used the highest SPF available since childhood. Although I used to hate the feeling of it, I'm reaping the benefits now as my skin looks very good for being 50. Most people are shocked at my age and often say that I look in my 20's, although I'm not quite sure I believe that. I currently use the new La Roche Posay UVmune SPF50 that also protects against long wave UVA. It's a beautiful cosmetically elegant sunscreen. Hydrating yet non greasy, non sticky and water resistant. I love it alone and under makeup. In the UK we have a UVA star rating from 1 star to 5 stars, and all the sunscreens I use and love have a 5 star UVA rating. It's a pity you can't get them in the US, but it seems that the FDA is a fairly tough regulatory body in terms of funscreen approval. Thanks for always providing such amazingly thorough content. Best wishes. Anna
I wear sunscreen everyday, even on cloudy days. I have been doing this for the last fifteen years. I wear Neutrogena for the face with a SPF of 55, according to my dermatologist. She's the one that told me that this is one of the best sunscreens ever. That's why I use it. She said to use a shot glass size of sunscreen on your face and on your body. Just saying. 💖💖💖
AWSOME video Angie!! I always listen to the Budget Dermatologist and Dr Dray and I love them both. But I learned so much from you too especially the makeup powder and a big reminder not to just depend on Cc cream 50 because I stared doing that and now I will apply sunscreen under CC cream as you are right, I was not putting enough of the CC cream on for enough protection. Thank you pretty lady😊
I was reapplying sunscreen every two hours even when indoors. I won't be any longer. Let's hope manufacturers list better application instructions. Have a wonderful week!!!♥xo
Thanks for this video, Angie. I play golf about three times per week during the warmer months and I started using the Mychelle sunscreen in addition to wearing a hat due to your advice last year in your sunscreen video. I got compliments about my skin all summer long last year. So, this has led to me buying lots of hats, wide brimmed hats, of different materials which I wear all through the different seasons. I find the tinted sunscreens quite messy, however I'd rather have sunscreen stains on my clothes than a skin cancer. Thanks again.
Happy to hear you're wearing sunscreen and a hat while golfing!! Agree with you about the clothes (I have tan rings on all my white tops but tops can be washed/replaced & my skin can't!
Angie, you look better than ever!! Seriously, you're getting younger looking! I am a living testimony to the anti-aging effects of daily wearing of sunscreen. When I was 14 I started breaking out and my mom let me use foundation, (I know, these days kids wear it at 12). The foundation I used for years was simply Bonnie Bell, which said, "with sunscreen." I never understood what that meant and I didn't choose it because of that. I just bought it because it matched on my skintone and was reasonably priced at the drug store. Because I broke out, I wore it every, single day throughout my teens and through most of my 20s, until I began using Estee Lauder when I could afford department store brands. When I was 31 years old a cosmetologist complimented me on my youthful-looking skin, (I had zero wrinkles), and asked me if I had always worn sunscreen. That was the first time I ever thought about that Bonnie Bell makeup that said, "with sunscreen," and I told her that yes, I guess I had been wearing sunscreen every day since age 14. How do I know it wasn't just a fluke and that it's just good genes? Because my upper chest and arms DO have age spots and sun damage, but my face does NOT, even now at well over age 60! I am a walking "before and after" poster child for sunscreen! Please people, wear sunscreen every day. Even if you don't care about the look of aging, wear it to prevent skin cancer! ❤
I agree with your thoughts on the re-applying two hour hour. I personally do not unless of course I’m gonna be under the rays for long. However, one argument I hear derms make about it is that it wears off after some time. Kinda like how foundation or blush can disappear on your face (def true if you’re oily like me). Which is why they advocate for two hours. Now irl I ain’t gonna be doing that lol but I’m glad you brought up the research of it being 30% less effective cause I can rest more at ease now lol
Thank you!! LOL re 1/4 tsp - that was my 1st reaction but I busted out my own measuring spoon and yes - 1/4 sounds tiny but it is mighty amount indeed! Question - to clarify: is it 1/4 for face + neck OR 1/4 for face and 1/4 for neck?
I really love sunscreen and find that I will wash my foundation off and start over if I accidentally forget it which has happened three times in 5 years. It's almost like primer for me! still haven't got the Mychelle but I need a day to have nothing to do to go get it! I've been using my standard Elta MD and Colorscience powder. Thank you for being such an advocate! I can't imagine laying out in the sun ever again!!! OH! I got it off Amazon!!! Thank you Angie!
It’s like primer for me too! I almost don’t like some foundations the same without my sunscreen. I personally found the Mychelle to be incredibly drying especially compared to my elta MD.
Amazing video explaining everything related to sunscreen!! I just forwarded this to several people. What a thorough and valuable video Angie!! Thank you!
Great Video! I marvel that all this time I thought I was using 1/4 tsp until I actually measured out 1/4 tsp! Yikes! Who knew? Angie did! Thank you for demonstrating what a 1/4 tsp actually looks like!
As always, your reviews are invaluable! Great reminder to use it EVERY. SINGLE. DAY! No excuses! Thanks P.S. love your makeup application without that eyeliner stamp! 😊
Hi Angie. Excellent video. I really appreciate the facts & common sense included. Perfection is not a realistic concept. Combining sunscreen usage with other sun protective behaviors (shade, clothing , avoiding mid-day sun) is best IMHO. ❤️
I really like the Avene tinted sunscreen in a compact. Only 2 shades though. Maybe they'll come out with more? I use the beige and have fair to medium skin tone. 😎
My facial skin is sensitive chemical sunscreens. I use Australian Gold tinted spf 50 bb cream for daily use. I discovered that I can reapply over it with chemical sunscreens later in the day with no issue. And that layered nicely over the Australian gold.
Excellent video. You explain very well and have influenced me to wear it daily. 🙏💝 What about Elizabeth Arden pressed mineral makeup with spf. I used to sell it years ago. I think it was spf 45. That would be good too, right? Maybe do a video on pressed makeup with sunscreen and which one you like best. 💕
@@jr-pr9lw All windows block UVB. All car windows are TEMPERED glass, which also block UVB, like glass everywhere. The windshield is LAMINATED glass, two sheets of glass with a layer of UVA hating polymer between them. This makes the windshield of all modern cars UPF 50, blocking 98% of the UVA hitting it.
Just getting ready to workout and this popped up! Looking forward to exercising now when before I was procrastinating a little. Tuesdays and Fridays are the best!
My daughters and I just came back from the Gulf coast of Florida. One can not overstate how strong the sun is there. We spent most of our time under an umbrella, applied lotion sunscreen to begin with, and used spray sunscreen *hourly* when we reapplied. We constantly used SPF 50 face sticks, probably every 30 minutes. We were absolutely militant, and we *still* got a little pink/tan in places. You just can’t overdo the sunscreen and other sun protections.
Even when you're in the shade UVA rays bounce off the sand & water so they can still hit your skin so it's important to apply often as you did or cover up with clothing.
Angie - I know that when I see a new video from you, I have the authority. You save us time and I love that we have scientific evidence to support facts! We greatly appreciate all that you do for your wonderful channel!
I have a question…I walk my dogs every evening for about an hour before sundown. If I haven’t reapplied from morning or lunchtime, should I reapply for so late in the day?
This is why you have over 1 million subscribers your videos are always so informative while remaining entertaining you put in a lot of work and I really appreciate it
Hi Angie I don’t usually write questions to other TH-camrs but I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years now and appreciate your content as I’m 51. I have dry, sensitive skin and use tret 3x a week and still experiencing flaking. I have mild rosacea as well. Just wondering what your top 3 moisturizing mineral tinted sunscreens are? I’ve tried many of your recommendations but all have been too drying- the last one being DRMTLGY which was also too dry. Also I’m in Canada so difficult to find certain ones like the R and R as it’s not available. I can order from the US Amazon site although it’s pricey. If you can suggest a couple and thank you! Very happy at how successful your channel has become. You are smart and your content is very good and you obviously have put in the time and gotten back rightful rewards 👍
Have you tried dropping the percentage of Retin A? I have heard from several derms on TH-cam that consistency is more important than the percentage. I went back to .025% because .05% was making me constantly flake.
Great video to remind us all to ramp up the amount we use! I use the 1/4 tsp approach (thanks to your very early videos) but often have to remind myself what this really looks like. One thing that caught my attention though is the use of 2mg as the testing measure. This is measurement of mass, so consistency would have an impact as measuring in ml via a tsp is a unit of volume, so they don’t equate exactly as you suggested. That said, the difference in efficacy between 30spf and 50spf is almost negligible, so using a 50spf should ensure very high coverage and protection even if it’s a lighter (less dense) product.
Hi Angie! I tried the EltaMD UV elements and absolutely love the way it feels on my skin! It feels like it does good things for this 61 year old face. Only problem was if I put on enough, I ended up looking like I was wearing someone else's face because I am essentially the color of a sheet of paper. 😂 But I solved the problem with a little bit of LA Girl Pro mixing Pigment (the white one) and it's great now! I'm protected from all those UVA/UVB nasties and I still look like me when the make up is done. Just thought I'd share that little tweek. Love your channel!
I have a question that has always left me scratching my head. I’ve noticed some mineral spf 30 sunscreens have a higher zinc or titanium oxide percentage then some mineral spf 50 sunscreens. Any reasoning for this? It just makes sense to me that the higher active percentages would equate to a higher spf rating. I’ve tried looking it up but have been unable to find the reasoning.
I wear sunscreen everyday. I used to just wear an spf 15. But I do go out with my dogs and we moved to Georgia, and the sun seems much stronger when I go out with them. So now I use the spf 15 and something stronger on top of it. At least and spf 30. My husband had some precancerous things taken off the left side of his face. I told him it’s from driving. And I gave him some of my sunscreen and then bought him some for men. I don’t think he uses either one. So he’ll be going back to the dermatologist sooner than I will. I had her check my whole face and a few other places. I had no spots on me. So my sunscreen is saving me, I’m sure he is not. I usually just put a big glob of both on my hand. I want the sun protection.
I appreciate the work you put into providing sunscreen protection information. I'm now using the My Michelle...I love it because it dries quick. I've used it under a couple of different makeup brands and it works well for me. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you so much for this great video. I too thought you were exaggerating the amount recommended and was surprised just how much is half a spoonful. I appreciate this information as I was only using the small amount and are now suffering the result of aging early. I love all your videos and religiously use the products you recommend and can clearly see the benefits.
Thank you so much for this informative video Angie. My first husband passed from Melanoma and I worry so much for my fair skinned daughter. She always applies sunscreen, but this will let her know if she is getting all the protection she should have. I'm sending your video to her right now.
I see the 1/4 teaspoon, but the amount on the hand still looks way more. I actually tried filling sunscreen on a 1/4 teaspoon and it's far less than what I've been using anyway. I also found the Ilia SPF serum fun to use and I like reapplying it even as the sun goes down. I dont know what it is about this Ilia SPF. It makes turns me into a glowworm.
Just a tip that I learned from my dermatologist. The easiest way to have your skin absorb the correct amount of sunscreen is to put it on in layers. Put some on, wait a couple minutes, put some more on right on top of your original layer etc. it’s much easier to rub in and you still get the correct amount of coverage. I find this is the best way…especially for your face.
Awesome tip. Thank you!
Great tip! Thanks!
You’re right ! I use this method for few months and it’s really easier to put on the correct amount ! 🌸
This is how I do mine. Because, I want ALOT of sunscreen and it won’t all absorb at once.
Thanks for the tip! I always struggle!
“A for aging; B for burning” that is genius! For me sunscreen is the most important skincare product I use; second is tretinoin. Thank you Angie, great video!
Oh wow! That photo has inspired me to make sure I get my sunscreen on my neck!!! Thank you, Angie!
Yes! Be sure to sunscreen your neck, chest & backs of hands!!
I haven't even watched this yet I'm at work. But I can't wait. I never get tired of this topic. I need the reminders to continue wearing the appropriate amount and reapplying. It's so easy to go lightly and not want to reapply. Thanks for helping keep us doing what we should!
Because of you, Angie, I have used sunscreen on my face everyday for the past 5 years. Admittedly, I often miss my neck. That photo you shared was a shocking kick in the butt! I will never skip my neck again.

Two years ago one of your videos made me realize I needed a magnifying mirror for applying makeup better. It was then I saw this tiny bump on the inside corner of my upper eye lid.

So I'm embarrassed to say that I was thinking that I might get a mini eye job out of this because basal cell doesn't spread, right? Not that worried because I've been down this road before. Well then my doctor ordered an MRI to make sure it hadn't spread to my eye and if so, I could lose it and/or my tear duct(s). Boy that sure changed things! Luckily it didn't spread down into my socket, but required MOHS surgery and then I was sent right after the removal (a huge hole for a tiny bump) to a reconstructive eye surgeon that same day. He had to take tissue from my other eye lid to fill the hole and put a stint in my tear duct.
I'm 52 and that was a wakeup call! Both surgeons said this is so common in that area so for anyone reading this, don't forget to go around your eyes! I never did because of chemical sunscreens burning and finally realized mineral sunscreens did not. You'd think every derm would tell you little things like this and maybe they assume everyone knows, but I had to learn on TH-cam. All the tanning beds/laying out in the 80's and soccer games in flip flops have done some damage, but no more. I'm on board now, finally. And I used to be a pharmaceutical rep calling on derms! When we're young we think we're invincible.
So, I just had to tell you. I came to your channel for makeup advice and you ended up possibly saving my eye, Angie. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I've been meaning to tell you since my surgery last year and this video reminded me and I hope you see this.
Thank you for sharing your story. More people need to hear this. I had melanoma several years ago, and I felt similar to you. My derm didn’t tell me much I had to learn things on TH-cam. I would also recommend wearing large sun glasses with UVA and UVB protection. I love my Maui Jim’s☺️
By the way, many of my friends call me Lisa Lisa after the singing star of the 1980s😀
Right, right, right, again! You are saving lives, Angie. As a genetic skin cancer survivor, I know what you’re saying is true and too often overlooked. Thanks to you, I have several face, body ,serum, and powder spfs for any day of the week 🥰🥰🥰
I'm so happy you've found so many sunscreens you love to help you stay healthy!!
You’re doing so much good trying to educate people about sunscreen. So many intelligent people are running around with dangerous notions about these topics and it truly creates a health crisis which is avoidable with good practices and knowledge.
Thank you Erica! If I can create even 1 sunscreen user with each sunscreen video it will be so worth it!!
I believe in multiple sources so I watched Doctorly (Dr. Shah), Lab Muffin, and Glow By Ramon measure their faces and do the math; and they all concluded about 1/4 tsp total for face, neck and ears.
I think they mentioned different densities of formulas but it’s negligible. Lab Muffin said mineral sunscreens have about 1/5 less volume than chemical but how precisely are you really going to measure day to day?
And your videos are always so informative and like listening to a really smart girl friend or sister. Thanks for discussing reapplication. 70% of SPF 50 by the end of the day is still great! I’ve been topping off once midday with a thinner layer because I figure the goal is to maintain an even film since modern filters don’t degrade as much as they migrate with skin oils or get rubbed off during the day.
I’m glad you also mentioned hats and sunglasses. My regular eyeglasses also have UV Protection.
My husband had a small melanoma on his chest at 29 and I've been the Sunscreen Police ever since! I'm 43 now and I have a lot fewer fine lines on my face thanks to all that SPF. Thanks to your videos, I've discovered many wonderful new sunscreen options!
Angie thank you for always keeping prevention in the forefront of your beauty channel especially when it comes to skin cancer . Skin is the largest organ on our body , let’s keep it protected
I am putting a 1/4 tsp in my bathroom so am ready tomorrow! Thank you!
Hi Angie, Great and useful common sense information, so thank you for sharing today. I must admit, I was a quantity sceptic at first, regarding the quarter teaspoon amount, so I measured it out myself, and yes, a quarter teaspoon is eight pumps and much bigger than appears on screen. Quite surprising, yes!
When I was first married, my MIL who lived in FL would tease me about wearing a big hat and sunglasses and sitting in the shade at the beach. She told me that a tan looked “healthy”! So now I’m soon to be 75 and my skin is great! So glad I didn’t follow her advice…and I’ve lived in Fl for 16 years now and still wear sunscreen, big hats and sit in the shade!
Keep preaching sunscreen, Angie!
There's no such thing as too much sunblock, especially for us retin-a users. It's funny - it's the SAME people who can't believe I'm 64 who think it's odd I uses so much sunblock! Every day, 365 days a year! Ahhh, the irony.
IKR? People always say "Whatever you're doing it's working" and when I start talking about sunscreen they glaze over... So happy the info's getting out there!!!
@@AngieHotandFlashy same Angie! Sunscreen isn’t “sexy” but I’ll be 50 this year and it’s my one piece of advice I give to all
Who ask me.
@MarlynneK I agree. Same here. I get teased about my sunscreen use but complimented for how great my skin looks.
I’m with you on this sister! I don’t look at the weather to determine sunscreen use - I just look in the mirror 😆
My husband is not consistent with sunscreen on his bald head. And guess what! Just diagnosed with skin cancer. Fortunately it was discovered early.
Thank you for your consistent message about sunscreen! The sun’s rays, as much as I love them, are horrible for me suffering from melasma. I have managed my melasma with a sunscreen that contains zinc oxide 20 or higher, add a Tinted moisturizer with spf, and a mineral powder with spf over. I am so GRATEFUL that we have so many sunscreens to choose from now, tinted or otherwise, we have come long ways to protect our skin. We just have to understand how important it is to protect it. Thank you again for keep reminding us of this!
Can you tell me what do you use? Please …. Melasma problem!
Agree 100% Maria!! Sunscreen has come a LONG way since I first started testing it years ago. I'm so happy there are so many on the market now so everyone can find something they love using!
i agree w the melasma - 20% zinc oxide is the only type that keeps my melasma at bay! ❤️
I apply my sunscreen in the morning; I apply one layer, wait a minute or two and then go in with a second layer. I top up with mineral powder SPF from Brush on block, skinscience, Peter Thomas Roth, (now discontinued) and one from a Spanish brand. I tap it over my makeup rather than rubbing as this seems to prevent the bristles picking up any oils from my skin. I am very conscious of where the sun is and always walk in the shade. I wear hats and take sun protection very seriously since living with melasma is no joke.
As always Angie, thank you for addressing this topic thoroughly and, providing sound information and advice.
Have a beautiful day.
Sounds like a perfect routine!!
@@AngieHotandFlashy Angie, you have bots here…impersonating you and wanting subscribers to interact offsite. Clearly, trying to scam your viewers. Please could warn subscribers to prevent anyone being scammed. Many thanks…
Hello! I just got to sit down with my hand quilting and to watch your video. I hope you have a glorious and creative week ahead! Thank you for sharing your video and your talent.
Such awesome information! One thing I learned after getting sunburned is check expiration date. Years ago my entire family was on vacation and we all got burned. We use the same bag leaving multiple sunscreen bottles in it all the time. Lesson learned.
This video was SO informative and helpful. Thank you so much!
Oh my gosh, today I actually got out a 1/4 tsp and measured my sunscreen, and it’s way more than I thought. I was sure I was using 1/4 tsp before but I was not. Wow.
I'm so grateful to my esthetician (she's also an NP)who found a suspicious blemish on the side of my nose. Sure enough, I saw my dermatologist and she said it was a precancerous lesion. She removed it, and I go back for a followup.
The effects of the sun are definitely cumulative. I stopped baking in my 20s, use sunscreen daily, and every once in awhile, a precancerous spot crops up.
If I'm driving in the afternoon, I do use a powder mineral sunscreen. I believe it's by Mineral Fusion.
I love the hat. That's something that I truly need.
Thanks for the great information, Angie. 🥰❤❤
Thank you for another truly great and informative video! 😊 👏
Just one thing: The volume (ml) may differ depending on the formula, it’s the weight (mg) that’s the same in the testing of the spf. For instance, oils and silicones weigh a lot less than equal volume of water and glycerin, they differ in density. How much air that’s “whipped” into an emulsion may also differ and effect the difference in volume. That’s most notable if it’s a mousse, like EVY’s sunscreens.
But I think keeping to the ¼-½ tsp rule is still the way to go. If it gets too complicated, some may just get confused and skip using sunscreen altogether. As they say, the best sunscreen is the one you use!
Used a measuring spoon for sunscreen today. THANKS great information
Angie bringing the videos we didn’t know we needed. This was great. Thank you for touching on the vitamin D argument. My mother-in-law has a pool and always cracks jokes when she sees how much sunscreen I put on my kids. She always reminds me they won’t get their vitamin D when I’m sunscreening them. It drives me nuts. Now I’ve started saying the research doesn’t support that. :)
Im a sunscreen convert thanks to you! While I always thought it was important, I just didn’t make that much of an effort unless I was going to be laying out. Now it’s my go to every morning! Wish I hadn’t waited until 40, but better late than never! Thank you!
Ulta brand has a setting spray with sunscreen 50 that is great to top off over makeup. It doesnt change the look of my makeup at all and offers great protection.
Solid, sensible advice, thank you Angie, that's why we're here! 👍
I came across a Korean sunscreen in a cushion compact. It’s rated 50 ++++. It’s very convenient to carry, doesn’t leak and you can put it over your existing foundation/cc cream without too much disturbance. It’s also moisturizing without being greasy.
Which brand is this? I’ve only tried one from amore pacific, but returned because of the fragrance. I like the concept though
@@JB-ux7ql SU:M 37
Thank you so much for this timely information. My husband and I went to the dermatologist yesterday to check some moles. The Dr told my husband that he had precancerous marks mostly on his left side of his face but also on right side. He prescribed a topical chemotherapy cream that blisters the skin I’m assuming to resurface it and burn off liaisons. My husband works outside so is exposed to sun constantly. He is using a zinc oxide spf 50 cream now. Wish there were more mineral based spfs for men who don’t want a tinted product. Thank you again.
What a thoroughly informative , researched and fact based guide to sunscreen Angie ! When I began actually measuring a 1/4 tsp. of sunscreen it was surprising to see how much that really was . Your comment about those questioning your ability to measure cracked me up ! Spot on delivery as per usual ! Bravo 👏👏👏👏♥️😎Pam
Thanks so much Pam!
Great video, Angie. I’m living up north with snow-filled winters and most people are outright shocked when I mention using sunscreen year round. I think the sun reflecting off the snow is often overlooked.
Yep, UVA bounces off shiny surfaces (snow, water, kitchen counters) & can hit you multiple times.
Hi Angie, Watching this with stitches on my nose from my Moh's (skin cancer) surgery last week. I truly believe that the basal cell carcinoma that I had (and will have more, I'm sure) is from the sun exposure as a kid, before there were sunscreens, I'm 59. Especially since I've worn sunscreen on my face everyday for 35 or more years. I have trouble doing so well on my arms and backs of hands but am striving to do better. I'm hoping that when the 30 and 40 year olds get to be older, they see way less skin cancer than we do just because they grew up in a time when sunscreen was available. Thanks for the video and good info. Hope people are taking action and not just listening.
I need to show your story to my MIL. She’s about 10 years older than you but gives me a hard time every time I slather my kids up in sunscreen at the pool. Cracks jokes that I’m going overboard, and they won’t get their vitamin D. Best of luck recovering from your surgery!
@@embeth446 I think EVERYONE should look up pictures of Mohs surgery online and show them to their loved ones. My surgery was small but no one wants any kind of hole cut into their face when it’s very preventable. The pictures are really a wake-up call not too difficult to look at but quite informative
I bought the R&R Sun Serum and I find it too “shiny” for me. I’m surprised you like it as well as you do as you often DON’T like products that have too much sheen. I’ll use it but go back to my Elta MD. Thanks for all the recommendations!!
Wow. You are a gem, Angie! This was incredibly informative, and I thought I was pretty well informed. We are never too old to take better care of ourselves.
Don't forget: it's 1/4 teaspoon for face, ears, and neck. Not just to the face. That means 1/8 teaspoon for just half of your face will be giving you more like 1/2 teaspoon for your face, ears, and neck. While there is no harm in overapplying, aside from to your wallet, it will also feel less cosmetically elegant as you found.
Most women only need 1/4 teaspoon for face, ears, and neck.
So very informative! I started using sunscreen every single day in February 2021. I had no idea I needed to do this until I started watching TH-cam and found your channel. I only wore it when I though I needed it when I was outside, at the beach, pool, lake, etc. Thank you so much!
Thank you! You just answered sooo many of my sunscreen questions that go through my mind each time I apply💕
Hi, esty here! I love this video. Thank you for spreading the importance of sunscreen. Your research and presentation is great! It is important to remember that the sun is far stronger today than in the 90's. The ozone changes every lunar eclipse and the sun gets closer to the earth making uva and uvb stronger. If you live in a sunny state, I recommend 40 spf or higher. Great vid.!
Excellent informative video that answers those questions we all have. It’s why we trust you!
Thank you Angie!
You informed and influenced me that using 1/4 tsp sunscreen on my face and and additional on neck/upper chest Every. Single. Day. I am not outside much, but I live where it can be quite warm in early Spring, Summer and early Autumn, and blotting perspiration results in some loss of SPF, so I reapply at least twice a day. I consider SPF to be an essential skincare step now and think my skin looks better, but I wish I had started before my early 50’s. I am very pale and burn before any tan occurs, so I have damaged my skin through sunburns on a number of occasions, especially when a child and teenager. After playing around with some of the mineral sunscreens that you scored very high, I learned about and discovered a few Japanese and Korean sunscreens that work really well for me, either a combination mineral/chemical or 100% chemical variety. The biggest difference is I am happy to wear them Every. Single. Day. Thank you.
I am very diligent applying sunscreen in my face but not as much in my neck, after that picture I am gonna do better. Thank you Angie
Angie you are our scientific gal! Thank you so much! I am a huge sunscreen wearer … everyday! Very informative !!!
Outstanding. Just when I thought I was fully informed, still learning! Thank you
Thanks for this video Angie, confirms a lot of my research. Wearing spf is so important. You can prevent further damage if you don’t start until later in life, definitely wish I had started earlier.
Thank you, Angie! Your always so clear and informative. I’m 32 years old and love your channel, I’m constantly sending them to my mom and she has picked up many tips from you. I love my sunscreen and I get made fun of by family and friends constantly and I always say one day they will get it 😏
An excellent, informative and helpful video, Angie! We are sold so much bs about sunscreens, but this tells it like it is, with science, evidence-based info - and with added hat advice too - after all, after 50 (or in my case 60) we need to keep our faces shaded otherwise we are likely to get brown spots and other delightful marks popping up on our skin - I guess we're lucky in the UK as the sun isn't as strong, but covering up is as important as sunscreen application. Thanks for this great advice!
I do have trouble in the summer if I get hot and sweat, sunscreen running into my eyes and stinging. I was using Neutrogena ultra sheer dry touch spf 45. I found CeraVe moisturizer with sunscreen stung my eyes less, however it doesn't spread out as evenly, and shows more.
Thanks for the update and emphasizing the need to wear sunscreen!
Great information!
Very informative video as always Angie. I guess I'm lucky in that I'm photosensitive and have always used the highest SPF available since childhood. Although I used to hate the feeling of it, I'm reaping the benefits now as my skin looks very good for being 50. Most people are shocked at my age and often say that I look in my 20's, although I'm not quite sure I believe that. I currently use the new La Roche Posay UVmune SPF50 that also protects against long wave UVA. It's a beautiful cosmetically elegant sunscreen. Hydrating yet non greasy, non sticky and water resistant. I love it alone and under makeup. In the UK we have a UVA star rating from 1 star to 5 stars, and all the sunscreens I use and love have a 5 star UVA rating. It's a pity you can't get them in the US, but it seems that the FDA is a fairly tough regulatory body in terms of funscreen approval. Thanks for always providing such amazingly thorough content. Best wishes. Anna
I wear sunscreen everyday, even on cloudy days. I have been doing this for the last fifteen years. I wear Neutrogena for the face with a SPF of 55, according to my dermatologist. She's the one that told me that this is one of the best sunscreens ever. That's why I use it. She said to use a shot glass size of sunscreen on your face and on your body. Just saying. 💖💖💖
AWSOME video Angie!! I always listen to the Budget Dermatologist and Dr Dray and I love them both. But I learned so much from you too especially the makeup powder and a big reminder not to just depend on Cc cream 50 because I stared doing that and now I will apply sunscreen under CC cream as you are right, I was not putting enough of the CC cream on for enough protection. Thank you pretty lady😊
I was reapplying sunscreen every two hours even when indoors. I won't be any longer. Let's hope manufacturers list better application instructions. Have a wonderful week!!!♥xo
Awesome 👏 thanks Angie xxx
as always chefs kiss for your very structured and researched videos.
Your hair looks amazing !!! I would love to see what you us s and how you fixed it ❤️
Really great video. Thanks.
Thanks for this video, Angie. I play golf about three times per week during the warmer months and I started using the Mychelle sunscreen in addition to wearing a hat due to your advice last year in your sunscreen video. I got compliments about my skin all summer long last year. So, this has led to me buying lots of hats, wide brimmed hats, of different materials which I wear all through the different seasons. I find the tinted sunscreens quite messy, however I'd rather have sunscreen stains on my clothes than a skin cancer. Thanks again.
Happy to hear you're wearing sunscreen and a hat while golfing!! Agree with you about the clothes (I have tan rings on all my white tops but tops can be washed/replaced & my skin can't!
Angie, you look better than ever!! Seriously, you're getting younger looking! I am a living testimony to the anti-aging effects of daily wearing of sunscreen. When I was 14 I started breaking out and my mom let me use foundation, (I know, these days kids wear it at 12). The foundation I used for years was simply Bonnie Bell, which said, "with sunscreen." I never understood what that meant and I didn't choose it because of that. I just bought it because it matched on my skintone and was reasonably priced at the drug store. Because I broke out, I wore it every, single day throughout my teens and through most of my 20s, until I began using Estee Lauder when I could afford department store brands. When I was 31 years old a cosmetologist complimented me on my youthful-looking skin, (I had zero wrinkles), and asked me if I had always worn sunscreen. That was the first time I ever thought about that Bonnie Bell makeup that said, "with sunscreen," and I told her that yes, I guess I had been wearing sunscreen every day since age 14. How do I know it wasn't just a fluke and that it's just good genes? Because my upper chest and arms DO have age spots and sun damage, but my face does NOT, even now at well over age 60! I am a walking "before and after" poster child for sunscreen! Please people, wear sunscreen every day. Even if you don't care about the look of aging, wear it to prevent skin cancer! ❤
I agree with your thoughts on the re-applying two hour hour. I personally do not unless of course I’m gonna be under the rays for long. However, one argument I hear derms make about it is that it wears off after some time. Kinda like how foundation or blush can disappear on your face (def true if you’re oily like me). Which is why they advocate for two hours. Now irl I ain’t gonna be doing that lol but I’m glad you brought up the research of it being 30% less effective cause I can rest more at ease now lol
Thank you!! LOL re 1/4 tsp - that was my 1st reaction but I busted out my own measuring spoon and yes - 1/4 sounds tiny but it is mighty amount indeed! Question - to clarify: is it 1/4 for face + neck OR 1/4 for face and 1/4 for neck?
Great question! I would like to know that, too.
Thank you for clarifying sunscreen application.
Thanks for educating people about such important topic❤️
I really love sunscreen and find that I will wash my foundation off and start over if I accidentally forget it which has happened three times in 5 years. It's almost like primer for me! still haven't got the Mychelle but I need a day to have nothing to do to go get it! I've been using my standard Elta MD and Colorscience powder. Thank you for being such an advocate! I can't imagine laying out in the sun ever again!!! OH! I got it off Amazon!!! Thank you Angie!
It’s like primer for me too! I almost don’t like some foundations the same without my sunscreen. I personally found the Mychelle to be incredibly drying especially compared to my elta MD.
Amazing video explaining everything related to sunscreen!! I just forwarded this to several people. What a thorough and valuable video Angie!! Thank you!
Great Video! I marvel that all this time I thought I was using 1/4 tsp until I actually measured out 1/4 tsp! Yikes! Who knew? Angie did! Thank you for demonstrating what a 1/4 tsp actually looks like!
As always, your reviews are invaluable! Great reminder to use it EVERY. SINGLE. DAY! No excuses! Thanks
P.S. love your makeup application without that eyeliner stamp! 😊
Hi Angie. Excellent video. I really appreciate the facts & common sense included. Perfection is not a realistic concept. Combining sunscreen usage with other sun protective behaviors (shade, clothing , avoiding mid-day sun) is best IMHO. ❤️
I really like the Avene tinted sunscreen in a compact. Only 2 shades though. Maybe they'll come out with more? I use the beige and have fair to medium skin tone. 😎
My facial skin is sensitive chemical sunscreens. I use Australian Gold tinted spf 50 bb cream for daily use. I discovered that I can reapply over it with chemical sunscreens later in the day with no issue. And that layered nicely over the Australian gold.
I too have found if my base layer is mineral I can reapply chemicals over as needed. But I can't make chemical my first layer.
@@sonjaforrester9255 exactly! I've been wondering if other people found this to be true as well
Excellent video. You explain very well and have influenced me to wear it daily. 🙏💝
What about Elizabeth Arden pressed mineral makeup with spf. I used to sell it years ago. I think it was spf 45. That would be good too, right? Maybe do a video on pressed makeup with sunscreen and which one you like best. 💕
Driving facing the sun? The windshield blocks 98%. Worry more about the side windows. Thanks Angie, great video and good recommendations.
Glass blocks UVB not UVA
@@jr-pr9lw All windows block UVB. All car windows are TEMPERED glass, which also block UVB, like glass everywhere. The windshield is LAMINATED glass, two sheets of glass with a layer of UVA hating polymer between them. This makes the windshield of all modern cars UPF 50, blocking 98% of the UVA hitting it.
Just getting ready to workout and this popped up! Looking forward to exercising now when before I was procrastinating a little. Tuesdays and Fridays are the best!
My daughters and I just came back from the Gulf coast of Florida. One can not overstate how strong the sun is there. We spent most of our time under an umbrella, applied lotion sunscreen to begin with, and used spray sunscreen *hourly* when we reapplied. We constantly used SPF 50 face sticks, probably every 30 minutes. We were absolutely militant, and we *still* got a little pink/tan in places. You just can’t overdo the sunscreen and other sun protections.
Even when you're in the shade UVA rays bounce off the sand & water so they can still hit your skin so it's important to apply often as you did or cover up with clothing.
Angie - I know that when I see a new video from you, I have the authority. You save us time and I love that we have scientific evidence to support facts! We greatly appreciate all that you do for your wonderful channel!
Thank you Angie - I love your natural makeup look today😄
I have a question…I walk my dogs every evening for about an hour before sundown. If I haven’t reapplied from morning or lunchtime, should I reapply for so late in the day?
This is why you have over 1 million subscribers your videos are always so informative while remaining entertaining you put in a lot of work and I really appreciate it
Appreciate that!
Hi Angie I don’t usually write questions to other TH-camrs but I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years now and appreciate your content as I’m 51.
I have dry, sensitive skin and use tret 3x a week and still experiencing flaking. I have mild rosacea as well. Just wondering what your top 3 moisturizing mineral tinted sunscreens are? I’ve tried many of your recommendations but all have been too drying- the last one being DRMTLGY which was also too dry. Also I’m in Canada so difficult to find certain ones like the R and R as it’s not available. I can order from the US Amazon site although it’s pricey. If you can suggest a couple and thank you! Very happy at how successful your channel has become. You are smart and your content is very good and you obviously have put in the time and gotten back rightful rewards 👍
Have you tried dropping the percentage of Retin A? I have heard from several derms on TH-cam that consistency is more important than the percentage. I went back to .025% because .05% was making me constantly flake.
Great video and explanation Angie. Living in Australia and coming into winter I still apply 50+ at least twice a day. Wish I’d done it from childhood
I love the "Slip, Slop, Slap" slogan you have there! We need an ad campaign here to educate people!!
Have you found a good Australia sunscreen? What do you use? ♥️
Great video to remind us all to ramp up the amount we use! I use the 1/4 tsp approach (thanks to your very early videos) but often have to remind myself what this really looks like. One thing that caught my attention though is the use of 2mg as the testing measure. This is measurement of mass, so consistency would have an impact as measuring in ml via a tsp is a unit of volume, so they don’t equate exactly as you suggested. That said, the difference in efficacy between 30spf and 50spf is almost negligible, so using a 50spf should ensure very high coverage and protection even if it’s a lighter (less dense) product.
Hi Angie! I tried the EltaMD UV elements and absolutely love the way it feels on my skin! It feels like it does good things for this 61 year old face. Only problem was if I put on enough, I ended up looking like I was wearing someone else's face because I am essentially the color of a sheet of paper. 😂 But I solved the problem with a little bit of LA Girl Pro mixing Pigment (the white one) and it's great now! I'm protected from all those UVA/UVB nasties and I still look like me when the make up is done. Just thought I'd share that little tweek. Love your channel!
Sooo informative!! The best video on sunscreen. Thank you so much!!
Thank you very much Angie - this was extremely helpful! 🙂💕
Great information as usual Angie! I always learn something new.❤️
I have a question that has always left me scratching my head. I’ve noticed some mineral spf 30 sunscreens have a higher zinc or titanium oxide percentage then some mineral spf 50 sunscreens. Any reasoning for this? It just makes sense to me that the higher active percentages would equate to a higher spf rating. I’ve tried looking it up but have been unable to find the reasoning.
Great question…I wish someone would answer it.
I wear sunscreen everyday. I used to just wear an spf 15. But I do go out with my dogs and we moved to Georgia, and the sun seems much stronger when I go out with them. So now I use the spf 15 and something stronger on top of it. At least and spf 30. My husband had some precancerous things taken off the left side of his face. I told him it’s from driving. And I gave him some of my sunscreen and then bought him some for men. I don’t think he uses either one. So he’ll be going back to the dermatologist sooner than I will. I had her check my whole face and a few other places. I had no spots on me. So my sunscreen is saving me, I’m sure he is not. I usually just put a big glob of both on my hand. I want the sun protection.
Thanks for continuing to educate us. Great video
When do you put your sunscreen on, before or after your makeup??
I appreciate the work you put into providing sunscreen protection information. I'm now using the My Michelle...I love it because it dries quick. I've used it under a couple of different makeup brands and it works well for me. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you. Very informative and helpful video.
Hey Angie; Have you tried the new Maylove product, FADE AWAY?
Thank you so much for this great video. I too thought you were exaggerating the amount recommended and was surprised just how much is half a spoonful. I appreciate this information as I was only using the small amount and are now suffering the result of aging early.
I love all your videos and religiously use the products you recommend and can clearly see the benefits.
Thank you so much for this informative video Angie. My first husband passed from Melanoma and I worry so much for my fair skinned daughter. She always applies sunscreen, but this will let her know if she is getting all the protection she should have. I'm sending your video to her right now.
I see the 1/4 teaspoon, but the amount on the hand still looks way more. I actually tried filling sunscreen on a 1/4 teaspoon and it's far less than what I've been using anyway. I also found the Ilia SPF serum fun to use and I like reapplying it even as the sun goes down. I dont know what it is about this Ilia SPF. It makes turns me into a glowworm.
As always, your reviews are invaluable! Thank you bunches 💐
Thank you so much Angie for doing the research, and giving us this important and useful information!! Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪.
You are so welcome!
