Do you need sunscreen every day ... even when it’s cloudy or you’re indoors? In this episode, Consultant Dermatologists Dr Emma Craythorne and Dr Ellie Rashid explain the science behind daily SPF use and why consistent sunscreen application is one of the most effective ways to protect long-term skin health. They break down how ultraviolet radiation affects the skin, including UVA, UVB, and visible light, and why damage accumulates over time, even without sunburn. The conversation explores how sunscreen helps prevent pigmentation, premature ageing, and skin cancer, and why it’s particularly important for conditions like melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and rosacea. You’ll also learn: Do you actually need sunscreen every day? Can UV really penetrate clouds and windows? The difference between UVA, UVB, and visible light Why pigmentation and skin tone are affected by UV exposure The truth behind “24% younger skin” studies How sunscreen prevents long-term skin damage How to apply SPF correctly (most people underapply) What to look for on the label (SPF vs UVA protection) Why trusting the brand matters more than trends How to find a sunscreen you’ll actually use consistently The episode also discusses the importance of trusting well-tested brands and highlights Avène’s Ultra Fluid SPF range as part of a paid partnership, chosen for its broad-spectrum protection and lightweight, wearable formulas.
