Can eating an abundance of carrots give you a faux glow? Is sunscreen “absolutism” a thing of the past? And, are tanning beds the key to not looking “ugly,” as Gen-Z maintains? This week we decode the latest, controversial sunscreen headlines with Manhattan-based, board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon, Dr Michelle Henry.

Join us as the clinical instructor of dermatology explains:

The truth about “tanning” beds to treat skin disorders like psoriasis (we’re looking at you, Kim!)
The right way to apply – and reapply – sunscreen, and what you might be getting wrong when it comes to SPF application in your routine.
Dr. Henry’s SPF picks for sensitive, acne-prone and dry skin, including her *personal* faves.
Chemical vs mineral filters - which formulas comes out on top, in her view?
Stay tuned to the end to hear Dr. Henry’s no-holds-barred response to a recent article in The Atlantic titled: “Against Sunscreen Absolutism: Moderate sun exposure can be good for you. Why won’t American experts acknowledge that”?
