In this episode of the Skincarma Pod, Carmine welcomes John Kressaty, co-founder of the Skin Bar – and one of the industry’s leading experts in sunscreens – to explore the history, nuances and complexities of sunscreen formulation. Carmine and John discuss the importance of sunscreen in skin health, the evolution of sunscreen technologies, and the differences between mineral and chemical UV filters. They shares insights on FDA regulations affecting sunscreen products and the impact of social media trends on consumer behavior. The conversation emphasizes the necessity of sunscreen for longterm skin health and offers practical advice for effective usage. After all, according to The Skin Cancer Foundation, up to 90% of the visible signs of aging is due to the photoaging that results from unprotected sun exposure. Please wear sunscreen daily – even on cloudy, seemingly sunless days.
