Do you wear SPF every day? Consultant dermatologist Dr Veronique Bataille joins Liz for this podcast to unpack whether sunscreen and avoiding the sunshine does more harm than good.
Veronique shares her advice for being skin aware and the signs of melanoma to keep on your radar.
She also details the rise in skin issues among young women caused by excessive use of skincare products, and talks Liz through the evidence on whether we need to wear SPF50 all year round.
They also cover whether vitamin D supplementation is equal to getting it from the sun, helpful ingredients for pigmentation, and skin conditions that the sun can actually be beneficial for.
