Biohacking Beauty: The Anti-Aging Skincare Podcast

The Truth About SPF: Is Higher Really Better?


Listen Later

Think your SPF 50 is giving you extra protection? Not exactly.

In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we’re breaking down the truth about sunscreen—because what you don’t know might be damaging your skin. From hidden ingredients that mess with your microbiome to why higher SPF might actually give you a false sense of security, this is your no-BS guide to smarter sun protection.

We also get into how filters like oxybenzone and avobenzone can impact your skin barrier, why “broad spectrum” doesn’t always mean full protection, and why texture, finish, and reapplication matter just as much as what’s on the label.

If you care about anti-aging, barrier health, or just want to know what you’re really putting on your face every day, this episode is a must.
