SPF WITH DR. MARKO LENS PART ONE | CAROLINE HIRONS | JULY 2014

Everything you've always wanted to know about SPF but weren't sure who to ask (or trust). We could have talked for hours, and did, hence splitting into two videos. Massive thanks to Dr Lens and his team for taking so much time out of his schedule and for being so welcoming. Apologies for the slight noise towards the end, we out-talked the battery!

What should we use? Chemical or physical? And does that depend on your age and skin colouring? Is a physical sunscreen 'natural'? Is a physical sunscreen safe? If you layer SPF products do they accumulate or are you only as protected as the highest individual SPF? What would you recommend that I use on my baby/child? (Surprising answer here parents!) What should you use if you have acne? What should you avoid if you have acne? When do you apply your SPF? Before or after moisturiser? How do you use SPF correctly? How much for what body part? Is it possible to have an anti-ageing moisturiser that contains SPF without compromising efficacy? Does historical use of sunbeds/irresponsible sunbathing affect your skin in later years? Can we cover up too much from the sun? Are we putting ourselves at ris
