Myth Busting SPF

Myth Busting SPF

SPF is "in" at the moment, but it's important to recognise that it's not a BEAUTY PRODUCT. It's not designed to "make your skin glow," act as a "concealer" or "foundation," or makeup. If you have ever had a consultation with me, you know that I will ask very specific information about your SPF use.

Something I hear every day is that patients are using their makeup or BB cream or "sunscreen" as an SPF. Or worse, that they are using their SPF, but just a tiny bit as it makes their skin look "glowy."

In general, a lot of people (especially young women!) are using sunscreens as a COSMETIC, not THERAPEUTIC intervention.

This means that, although it might look good, it's not being used at the correct DOSE to protect you from UV light. This means a false sense of security - your risk of developing skin cancer, pigmentation, redness, and wrinkles! Please use the correct dose; your future self will thank you.
