Sunscreen Science Explained: How to Boost Client Compliance & Cut Through the Myths

In this episode of The Skinstructors, Morgan and Joely dive deep into the science of sunscreen, breaking down everything skincare professionals need to know to better educate their clients. From understanding the difference between UVA and UVB rays to decoding SPF numbers and navigating the mineral vs. chemical vs. hybrid debate, they cut through the noise and address the most common misconceptions in the industry. The episode wraps with practical guidance on proper application, reapplication, and how to improve client compliance when it comes to sun protection. Takeaways: UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin, reaching the dermis, making daily broad-spectrum protection essential — not just on sunny days. SPF is a measure of how long it takes skin to burn, not how much protection is provided, making proper reapplication just as important as the product itself. Ingredient fear around sunscreen does more harm than good — the focus should always be on correct and consistent use. Connect with Us: Instagram Website Email: [email protected] Youtube
