You don't have to let this dry down?

So just 15 and then you can dab it off.

Okay, I didn't know that.

I always just let it dry, which can take, depending on how much I drench it.

The sunscreen process I hear is a real hurdle.

It's taken a little while.

I heard it's a whole, like all the folks I follow that have their own skincare lines, every time they start getting into sunscreens, it's like a whole thing.

yeah that's awesome oh god i was walking through the parking lot yesterday we were going for a hike and there was a mom just spraying her kids down with sunscreen and i was like stop because the chemical sunscreens are like not the data's pretty clear like the hormonal disruption part is not my favorite so seeing two young boys getting doused i just wanted to pull out my my mineral sunscreen and be like here

I was going to mention too, when we were talking about skin, so occlusives,

In the skincare girly world, they like to put the balms on the face and they glaze donut their face at night with some kind of occlusive.

And they might even use petroleum or petrolatum in some of these products.

And I...

really love the idea when it makes me think of wounds and in wound care when you are there's there's wet healing and there's dry healing just for the audience a dry healing would be like how we've always done it where you just kind of put something on that's antimicrobial and then you let it dry out and you let the skin granulate out but that can lead to a lot of scarring and so in some cases like on the face after i've had a couple

unfortunately a couple of basal cell carcinomas removed and you want to keep them wet with some kind of hydrocolloid patch or some kind of petroleum or petrolatum cover occlusion.

And the problem with that is if you lock in bacteria, it is a real pain in the butt and you create a lot of problems.

If you put a hydrocolloid patch over an open ulcerated wound and there's bacteria growing in there,

and i've done this to myself and it's awful and i know we touched on this earlier but i just wanted to double down because i have been spraying those wounds down with that first i was letting it dry though i didn't realize you only needed 15 seconds so that just changed everything and then i would put the occlusive which i've had no problems but like that's been a total game changer on that because if you

want wet healing, you're gonna get a better result with your cosmetic surgeries or any kind of wound, but with leaving less of a scar, but you really run the risk of locking in the bad guys, so.
