Sunscreen dosing. Teaspoons, shotglasses, and fingers…are we using too much?

Kind of Stephen

Sunscreens and moisturizers with SPF are tested at a standardized density. That density is 2 milligrams of sunscreen per square centimeter of skin. If we want protection closer to what’s on the label, we should be using sunscreen or moisturizers with SPF at the density they’re tested at too. Most of us don’t know the surface area of our skin and most of us don’t know the density of our sunscreens either.

Making sense of sunscreen protection percents. Where does “SPF 30 absorbs 97% of the UV” come from?

Kind of Stephen

You may have heard that: “SPF 30 absorbs 97% of the UV” or “SPF 50 absorbs 98% of the UV” These numbers are from a math model and it’s quite simple! The math model is: 1 – (1 ÷ SPF) 1 divided by the sunscreen’s SPF, subtracted from 1. With an SPF 30: 1 – (1 ÷ 30) = 1 – (1/30 or 0.0333…) = 1 – 0.0333… = 0.9666… The ellipses (…) means repeating, the 666 in the decimal number 0.9666 repeats forever.

Shame, Ageism, and Sunscreen

Kind of Stephen

Many of us just didn’t grow up with good sun protection education. I think a lot of us have forgotten that many of the bad effects caused by sun and UV exposure have only been recently well understood. While we’ve observed for a long time that sun exposure causes sunburn, the impact UVA has on skin’s appearance and photoageing are a relatively recent understanding and concern.
