UV Index #shorts

[kcai]

the kids are gonna be alright…. as long as there’s a constant stream of science-backed info about sun protection to combat those head ass tiktoks about how sunscreen is unnecessary, poisonous, etc etc so thank you as always for doing that!

in Australia, uv goes up to 13+. You go out all day unprotected in that, then make sure you have a skin check booked in soon 🙏🥵

Just a small tip, for iPhone users you can add a widget for UV index on your lock screen! This is what i do and it helps a ton!

As a person with relatively highly melanated skin, I check!. Melanin only does so much and I appreciate being able to have the healthiest (and youngest looking) skin and body as I can.

Thanks to you and other derm creators, I am able to pass this knowledge on to my kids. My 7 year old got a slight tan yesterday on a bathing suit cutout area and she was like ‘Whoa! Sun damage. I need to apply extra extra sunscreen here from now on!’ Kids today really get it.

Somehow the frazzled ponytail delivers the urgency of your message better😂

Since you told me about this I check the UV Index. I hate the feeling of sunscreen so your advice has been a game changer.

The UV index is a linear scale, so I think you should wear sunscreen even below "3". It's not a dramatically lower dose.

They are going to look better!! I wish I knew back in the day!

[drina]

I check the UV Index almost every day!!! Just checked it several x today!!!

I live in Scotland. It’s July and I’ve just checked, the UV index is either 3 or 4 for the rest of the week. Have I been wasting time and money this whole time 😭 I wear it in the winter too lol

Pro tip if you have an iPhone you can display the uv index on your Lock Screen (:

“Damn, they’re gonna be so much more ahead of us than we are” 😅😅

You expressed what we all feel😅

I've been checking uv index multiple times a day for the last 20 years!

I check the UV index everyday but I'm trying to just wear sunscreen everyday! Since adding glycolic acid in to skincare routine, it's been a real motivator to wear sunscreen everyday.

Makes me really appreciate my cold northern location where uv index rarely go higher than 3 .

[bronwynreijnders]

I've added a weather app on my phone that announces the UV index to me every morning!
I out the sunscreen on anyway, but it's nice to know when I REALLY need to reapply.
Sunscreen that doesn't cause cystic acne on me almost immediately is so expensive 😢

Your clothes are always so cute miss fashionista!!!!

I check the uv index when I feel lazy and don’t want to put on sunscreen. If it’s above a 2 I put it on anyway (the area I live in gets higher UV-A levels due to altitude so I prefer using spf when the UV index is 2+ rather than 3+ for a bit of extra security). In other words, the uv index is what I use to force myself into using spf when I feel lazy.

UV index is one of my widgets on my iPhone and Apple Watch. That’s how I determine if i should go outside or later. My sunscreen lasts longer if I’m smart about my outgoings 😅
