Sunscreen only helps prevent sunburns. Fact or myth?

Myth. Sunscreen doesn't just prevent sunburns. In fact, many asians belonging to the skin of colour category don't sunburn easily. This is because melanin in the skin can protect from UV radiation. However, this doesn't eliminate the risk of skin cancers so if you are looking at sunburns only to judge your risk of skin cancer, you are only partially correct.

The accumulated UV exposure over your entire lifetime increases the risk of skin immune suppression. This means that your skin...

Retinol face serum is traditionally regarded as the holy grail of OTC cosmeceuticals. As a derivative of vitamin A, retinol works by stimulating collagen production and targeting skin receptors known as nuclei acid receptors.

Those living in sunny climates also experience much higher rates of photosensitivity.

The role of moisture in skin aging

A little bit about the role of moisture and the skin barrier in the aging process. Our skin primarily composes of the epidermis.

Depending on your age, the structure and the function of the barrier may differ.

In today's episode, we’re going to cover the following topics:
