by Since Covid, conspiracy theories have become more and more common on social media on social media. The most worrying for dermatologists is a growing movement against sunscreen, the best and best proven precaution (except for covering with clothing or interior), which we can take against skin cancer, including melanoma.
The conspiracy theorists claim that sun protection causes cancer instead of preventing it. Although there are no robust evidence that support this (and there is a mountain of clinical data that show the opposite), children are inevitably susceptible to propaganda.
The teen Beauty Brand Indu recently carried out a survey in which 60% of the teenage girls have stated that they are on the face of sunburn, but only wear 27% sunscreen every day. Teenagers (including my own) wear even less frequently SPF. So although we can do little against the spread of online quacks and should be responsibility on social media platforms such as TikTok, we can encourage our children to include sunscreen in their daily routines.

A non-fatty, quickly absorbed, make-up-friendly and high protective SPF helps. Indus own Everyday herds SPF50 (£ 25) fits the bill. A light synthetic sun protection with a smooth, hydrated finish gets it in a practical, backpack -friendly tube that should address every gender.

Bubble Skincare was designed and marketed by teenagers and tweens, but I like it Solar Mate Daily mineral sun protection SPF30 (£ 19) me. This is physical sun protection that uses zinc (my own preference compared to titanium), which is almost clear and is matt, but not calcareous. It will appease young people who have been (wrongly) convinced that Mineral -Scff is somehow superior to synthetics. It is now in an additional one tinted version (£ 19) This can easily replace it with easy, school-friendly make-up.
The impotencability of sunscreen is a hot topic in beauty. There is no doubt that unaffordable VAT SPP prices will negatively affect health for people with lower incomes. I admire the altruist brand, founded by dermatologists, enormously for his mission to democratize UV protection. It is Greasy skin cream SPF50 (£ 9.50) is great for teenage skin. It combines mineral and synthetic ingredients and has a dry finish that sits well under make-up. With just one tenner, it is a comparatively inexpensive way to put a essential health product into the routine of a child.
