Does sunscreen really prevent skin cancer? The higher the SPF, the better? Do oral sunscreen and UPF clothing actually work? Does the sun cause melasma and hyperpigmentation? Does one still need to apply sunscreen during the winter or if staying inside the house? We are joined today, not by one, not two, but three expert board-certified dermatologists all the way from Manila, Philippines, to talk about all things sun exposure, damage, and protection, especially within equatorial regions, where UV exposure is known to be at highest risk.
