Can your skin actually adapt to the sun? In this episode of Skincare & Beyond, we’re joined by Claire Balas, Education Manager at Institut Esthederm, to explore one of the most debated topics in skincare: sun exposure. We discuss how the skin responds to UV rays, the role of melanin, whether gradual sun exposure differs from sudden exposure, and why Institut Esthederm takes a unique approach to sun protection. We also tackle some of the biggest questions surrounding SPF and tanning, including whether a base tan offers any protection, if safe tanning is possible, and how consumers can navigate conflicting advice around sun care. Importantly, this conversation also addresses the realities of UV damage, including premature ageing, long-term skin health, and rising skin cancer rates. Topics covered: • Can skin adapt to the sun? • How melanin works • Gradual vs sudden sun exposure • Does SPF stop you tanning? • Is safe tanning possible? • Sun damage and skin cancer risk • Institut Esthederm’s approach to sun protection • How to make informed decisions about sun care If you enjoy educational skincare conversations with leading experts, make sure to subscribe to Skincare & Beyond for more science-led discussions. #SunProtection #SPF #SkincareAndBeyond #SkinScience #InstitutEsthederm #SkinHealth #suncare Follow Skincare & Beyond podcast: https://www.facethefuture.co.uk/pages/skincare-beyond-podcast Shop Institut Esthederm: https://www.facethefuture.co.uk/collections/institut-esthederm Follow us on Social!
