How rigorous do you really need to be with sunscreen?
The answer depends on your exposure level, daily activities, skin goals, and personal risk tolerance.
In this video, we break down:
When you should be especially diligent about sunscreen
High-exposure situations like hiking, swimming, and paddleboarding
Why everyday indoor exposure is a little more nuanced
Why you don't need to burn to accumulate UV damage
Why sunscreen matters even more when treating hyperpigmentation or using strong actives
The biggest takeaway: the amount of sunscreen rigor you need depends on what you're actually doing and what you're trying to protect your skin from.
And if you're spending a lot of time outdoors in high-exposure conditions, don't take chances—more sunscreen and more frequent reapplication is the way to go.

😎 This is a chemical sunscreen fluid with US-approved filters - shake well before applying!
🌟Overall, Id rate this an 7/10. This UV fluid feels like a textbook sunscreen fluid. It absorbs quickly and leaves a silicone, powdery finish with some residue. It held up well throughout the day and wouldnt have any issues reapplying. However, probably by the third reapplication, this felt like it wanted to pill. Just something to keep in mind if youre relying on this sunscreen for a whole day of sun protection. If Victoria had to choose between the two Naturium sunscreens, she would pick the Dew Glow Screen. The texture is more lotion like but seemed to absorb better on her skin.#sunscreen #skincare #cosmeticchemist")
