'During the hot, sticky days of summer, sunscreen is an important accessory for
most of us when going outside. But there are also a surprising number of myths
about it. These are often perpetuated by wellness influencers offering their
own sunscreen "alternatives", but some are shared by more authoritative
sources, while others seem to have just crept into common acceptance.
So what does the skin protection factor (SPF) really mean in terms of
protection? Does ultraviolent A (UVA) alone cause ageing? And do sunscreens
really require 20 minutes after applying before they "activate"? Here's what
the research and leading experts say we really need to know.'
