Are Very High SPF Sunscreens Better [DermTV.com Epi #213]

Today, companies are releasing sunscreens with very high SPFs: SPF 60, SPF 70, and even SPF 100. But are these sunscreens really better than an SPF 30 sunscreen? In this episode of DermTV, Dr. Schultz explores very high SPF sunscreens and provides you with his opinion on them.

Everyone can have beautiful, healthy, and younger looking skin, and DermTV, the Internet's daily skincare video show, will demonstrate how by revealing expert tips and techniques and by providing real solutions for real skincare issues.

Skincare (whether cosmetic or medical) previously required a trip to your dermatologist or a shopping spree at the pharmacy. And that's if you have a trusted nearby dermatologist or a local informed pharmacy. But not anymore. We at DermTV are committed to making best-in-class dermatology and skincare guidance accessible to everyone, anytime, at your computer.

Every weekday, our host, Dr. Neal Schultz, one of New York's most trusted and respected dermatologists (see bio below), teaches skincare's most timely and timeless issues. Topics include: the best at home techniques and new technology for facial rejuvenation, preventing and fixing sun damage from wrinkles to skin cancer, breaking news in dermatology, general skincare topics, and more.

Oh this is good news then, as in my country the higher the SPF the higher the price! Thank you:)

Hi Dr.Shulz I purchased the shiseido face sunscreen spf 55 do you think that one is not a very good one? Its really confusing and i just want to protect my face from the sun but when i have no help its really hard to buy the correct product that will help my skin!

So if we're not out in the sun too much during the day, is it okay to skip re-applying sunscreen?

[bchen9]

can we use moisturizers with spf in it?

@ValerieEileen try vanicream sunscreen spf 30 sensitive skin. i use it and it has pretty much no smell at all. it's a chemical free sunscreen and its oil free, has no fragrance, dyes, preservatives, or parabens. it has uva and uvb protection. i thinks its one of the best sunscreens out there:)

Is it ok if you don't use a separate sunscreen as long as your moisturiser has SPF? Mine has SPF 15.

now i had a feeling about those new high spf sunscreens. i just felt like they werent telling us something about it or that it was one of those pointless new products.
