007. UV Damage: Gel Nails, Tanning Beds, Sunlight

This week in our Vanity Lab this week we will clue you guys in on what Unilever is doing to help prepare employees for a post-COVID-19 world, which UV damage is the worst for you, and how companies are collaborating in unexpected and innovative ways during quarantine! Hosted by Laura Lam-Phaure and Emmy Lovell [Emmy] I definitely didn’t use to be as stringent about my sunscreen use – and I suffered a lot of sun damage while growing up. Thankfully I’m a lot better about it – and while I still love basking in the sun with a good book, I do so slathered in SPF and reapply on the hour.

They work by forming a chemical reaction with the water in the sweat to form a physical plug... which is deposited in the sweat duct, producing a blockage in the areas that it's applied," says David Pariser, MD, professor of dermatology at Eastern Virginia Medical School..."
