To spf or not?

I’ve been working from home lately and haven’t really left the house in a long time. I know, I should get some fresh air and daylight… but too lazy though 🥲. I have a lot of lotions with spf in them but I haven’t been outside to even use these lotions. Do you still apply spf when you know you won’t be in direct sunlight?

I disagree with the previous comments as this is highly dependent on your circumstances. Lab muffin did a detailed video on this explaining it. Where I live, it's been UV index 0-1 pretty much every day for weeks. So no, there is hardly any point for me to wear a sunscreen indoors. You can never achieve 100% protection anyway. If you do live in a tropical country however, you will likely need to wear a sunscreen indoors throughout the year. Coincidentally though, people weren't preaching to wear sunscreen indoors regardless of the circumstances before the pandemic started and everyone stopped going outside - some might guess that sunscreen sales needed a boost... 🧐

I agree with you on some point. Suncream is not necessary indoors usually. But for example, I use some active ingredient, like retinal and Aha. They help in the cell turnover and because of it, the epidermis is more vulnerable. Furthermore most of the glass are not so effective in the filtration of the UVB rays, only in UVA. What increases the possibility of skin diseases. I am an MD student in central Europe and I saw a lot of older people with basal cell carcinoma or melanoma on the face. Prevention is easier than a later treatment. 😇

Apply spf indoor, on rainy days and when it snowing…UV radiation reflects off everything and comes through windows

there is no case scenario where the "no" is a valid answer. Spf is key to having a healthy and beautiful skin. no matter the weather, no matter the circumstances (home or outdoors), we need to use spf regularly. for me, the only difference is that I might not reapply as regularly as I should when I'm home, otherwise, it's the same! ☺️❤✌🏻

I always put on spf, if I don’t leave the house then oh well, if I do then I’m covered.
