Sun Sense: Separating Myth from Melanin

from Phyto-Revival (The Podcast) Hosted by Dezaraé Haley, HHP

Join Phyto Revival as we unpack how UVA and UVB affect the skin, why "natural SPF" myths are dangerous, and what spray tans really do — plus personal stories of severe sun reactions like PMLE and practical tips for summer safety. Learn how melanin works, why shade isn’t full protection, when to reapply sunscreen, and how herbalism fits into recovery (aloe, calendula, plantain) rather than primary protection.
