About this episode
We all know the importance of sunscreen this time of year, but some of the stuff we’ve always believed about sunscreen is a myth: "HIGHER SPF’S ARE BETTER": SPF 50 blocks 98% of UV rays. SPF 100 blocks 99%. Experts say to use anything above SPF 30 and reapply every 2 hours. "SUNSCREEN BLOCKS VITAMIN D": No sunscreen blocks all rays. You’ll get plenty of Vitamin D. "A BASE TAN PROTECTS THE SKIN FROM DAMAGE": Any time you spend in the sun without sunscreen raises the risk of developing skin cancer. join us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onairwithryan See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
