Don't I need my vitamin D? | No-Nonsense Skin Ep. 4
from No-Nonsense Skin · host Dr. Erum Ilyas
One of the most common questions I was asked in clinic this week was:"If sunscreen blocks vitamin D, shouldn't I stop wearing it?"The answer is more nuanced than you might think.In this episode, we explore how your skin makes vitamin D, why sunscreen isn't the whole story, how skin tone influences vitamin D production, and why balance—not extremes—is the key to healthy skin and overall health.No hype. Just practical ways to think through skincare.Medical Disclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational purposes only and does not establish a physician–patient relationship.
