Sunlight and Sunscreen Paradox in Vitiligo (Ep. 63)

Is your sunscreen doing more harm than good?

UV protection is non-negotiable — especially when your depigmented skin has zero natural melanin shield — but FDA absorption studies, benzene recalls, and endless headlines have turned a simple tool into a source of anxiety.

We cut through the fog: chemical vs. mineral realities, why chasing SPF 100 often backfires, and how to protect yourself smartly without joining the panic chorus. No slogans, just the messy science and what actually matters if you burn faster than everyone else.

Essential summer listening if that bottle on your shelf now feels more complicated than it should.
