Keywords

💡Sun umbrella

A sun umbrella is a portable device used to provide shade from the sun, typically used at the beach or during outdoor activities. In the video, Brian Johnson uses a sun umbrella to illustrate how it can help reduce exposure to harmful UV rays, which is a key theme of the video. The umbrella is presented as a practical tool for sun protection, complementing other measures like sunscreen.

💡UV rays

UV rays, or ultraviolet radiation, are a type of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun that can cause skin damage, including premature aging and skin cancer. The video emphasizes the negative effects of UV rays on skin health, and how防晒 measures like using a sun umbrella and sunscreen can mitigate these effects.

💡Collagen and elastin

Collagen and elastin are proteins in the skin that provide strength and elasticity. The video discusses how UV exposure can lead to the loss of these proteins, resulting in sagging skin and wrinkles. This concept is central to understanding the aging process of the skin and the importance of sun protection.

💡Sunscreen

Sunscreen is a product applied to the skin to protect it from the harmful effects of UV radiation. The video script mentions the importance of using sunscreen and reapplying it regularly for effective sun protection. It is highlighted as a crucial component of a comprehensive sun protection strategy.

💡Tanning

Tanning is a skin response to UV exposure, which some people associate with a healthy appearance. However, the video corrects this misconception by stating that a tan is actually a sign of skin damage. This concept challenges common perceptions and reinforces the message of the video about the dangers of sun exposure.

💡Vitamin D

Vitamin D is a nutrient that the body can produce in response to sun exposure and is essential for bone health. The video acknowledges the benefits of sunlight for vitamin D production but also cautions against excessive exposure, suggesting that there are other ways to maintain adequate vitamin D levels without risking skin damage.

💡UV index

The UV index is a measure of the strength of UV rays at a particular time and place. The video uses the UV index as a guideline for when it is safe to be in the sun without excessive risk, advising to avoid sun exposure during peak UV times, typically between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

💡Sun protective clothing

Sun protective clothing refers to garments specifically designed to shield the skin from UV rays. The video suggests wearing such clothing as part of a comprehensive sun protection strategy, alongside the use of sunscreen and other measures.

💡Light therapy

Light therapy is a treatment that uses exposure to light to treat various conditions, including seasonal affective disorder. The video mentions light therapy as an example of how controlled exposure to natural light can have therapeutic benefits, contrasting with the harmful effects of excessive sun exposure.

💡Mineral-based sunscreen

Mineral-based sunscreens contain active ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which physically block UV rays. The video discusses the benefits of mineral-based sunscreens, such as being less likely to be absorbed by the skin and being more environmentally friendly, although it also mentions potential concerns about certain ingredients.

💡Ingredient awareness

Ingredient awareness refers to the practice of being knowledgeable about the components of products one uses, especially in terms of their safety and effectiveness. The video encourages viewers to be aware of the ingredients in their sunscreens, acknowledging that new information may emerge that could change one's choice of product.

Transcripts

let's react to another video by Brian

Johnson how to not look

[Music]

old very dramatic

beginning I see he has his Sun umbrella

and for sure the sun can contribute to

the aging process we know that UV rays

and the Damage they cause can often

affect our cells in a very negative way

it can change the DNA structure it can

cause different mutations

and that in turn leads to not only the

loss of collagen and elastin in our skin

but also it can contribute to things

like skin cancer which could be deadly

and the umbrella surely can help in

reducing exposure to the Sun but it's

vital to use sunscreen and sunblock to

make sure that we're protecting our skin

as much as possible and to be reapplying

it every few hours not just once a day

people fervently want me to get a tan

because they think that's a sign of good

health actually a tan is a sign that

your skin has been damaged that's a

really good point yeah I mean often

times people will say oh you look rested

you look like you've been on vacation

because you look more tan that's not

necessarily a compliment it might be a

better aesthetic appearance in the eyes

of some but as far as the effect on your

skin it can be quite damaging and

especially if you have repeated exposure

over the course of you know many days

weeks years right some people are just

out Under the Sun for many years without

the proper protection so it starts with

of course wearing the the right Sun

protective clothing like he's somewhat

doing here also the use of the umbrella

like he has is a nice touch even though

some might not like the way that looks

in public but also just mainly making

sure to protect your skin with something

like sunblock sunscreen and and doing it

um often enough because some people just

apply it very infrequently especially if

they're getting wet like in the swimming

pool um and they're just not applying it

enough to give themselves the proper

protection the sun of course is good for

many reasons it's also bad it's good

because it helps increase vitamin D it's

also good for mood and your circadium

Rhythm and helping in sleep that's true

there is something called light therapy

so when people are more depressed and

they have just the you know they feel

like they're not as optimistic in life

sometimes that can be remedied at least

in part with the use of light therapy so

there's something to be said for

exposure to natural light and it's a

good point about vitamin D though people

often have enough vitamin D to function

properly they don't necessarily need to

be under the sun for hours to get those

um vitamin D levels up it's bad because

the sun can damage collagen and elastin

leading to sagging skin and wrinkles

it's also bad because it can lead to

cancer yeah the best example of this and

the most demonstrative is like of the

person who's driving a truck and half of

their face like usually the left side of

their face will have been exposed to the

sun more than the right side and you

could see that the aging and the skin

effects on their left side is going to

be worse than the right side and that's

because of the years of a accumulated uh

stress on their skin from the Sun now

the first question is when to get sun

exposure A good rule of thumb is when

the UV index is below three that's

earlier in the morning and later in the

afternoon you want to avoid High UV

index which typically happens between

10:00 a.m. and 400 p.m. this is true and

notice that the time window that he's

talking about is rather broad a lot of

people when they're considering going

outside like let's say they want to go

to the beach they'll go exactly in that

time range right they'll be there from

like let's say you know 11:00 a.m. till

about 4:5 p.m. and then they might go

home and have their dinner but they've

been out during that time when it's the

most dangerous because of the strength

of the UV rays like I remember when I

was growing up my family would tell me

don't go out at like 1:00 p.m. or like

between 12:00 and 2 p.m that's like when

the sun is the strongest but in reality

it's a much broader uh interval if you

wake up in the morning before the sun is

out you do want light exposure as it

helps with your circadium Rhythm and

also your mood I wake up around 5:00

a.m. before the sun is up and so I use a

10,000 Lux lamp and you've probably

heard that the sun improves vitamin D

production that is correct well I like

to wake up in the morning maybe not at

5: but um at 600 or just before 600 and

I like to go for a jog in the morning

and that really helps me um with my mood

with overall energy levels so you know

he's got this uh Lux lamp but I think

sometimes just going outside as long as

it's not Pitch Black at that hour which

usually most of the time most of the

year it's not um you can still get

plenty of light into your system you can

also supplement vitamin D I take 2,000

IU every day when it comes to hair loss

one of the things that we check

sometimes is vitamin D levels and what

we find is for some people men and women

vitamin D levels can be quite low and

they're experiencing hair loss and that

could be a contributor so sometimes we

recommend also supplementation of

vitamin D to help combat hair loss

that's at least one of the factors that

we consider the UV index is above three

you can use a hat Sun screen or a UV

umbrella what you're trying to avoid is

excessive sun exposure on unprotected

skin during High UV times which may

cause skin damage yeah keep in mind that

it's not just about being out in the sun

it's really like how exposed your skin

is so there is this concept of sun

protective clothing where you're at

least covering up most of your exposed

areas of skin and of course the face

might be harder to cover up so that's

where you might consider applying you

know sunblock sunscreen but other parts

of the body are a little easier to cover

up so the next time you're out on the

beach and you have your shirt off or

your bikini on for hours on end you

might consider just throwing on a

t-shirt once in a while to help protect

that skin sunscreens a messy and Nuance

topic that we don't really know yet what

we should be talking

about and there's so many different

sunscreens and sunblocks out there and

we have a video where we compared a

really affordable sunscreen versus a

really expensive ensive one and the

findings might surprise you so make sure

to check out that video but really it's

not about finding the perfect sunblock

or sunscreen it's really finding one

that you like that you will uh be using

maybe you like it smell maybe you like

how it applies and just one that you

will actually use that's really the best

sunblock is the one that you'll actually

use here are a few general rules that I

follow one is I use a mineral based

sunscreen it is less likely to be

absorbed through the skin it has UVA and

UVB protection it also is more

environmental friendly now there are

some nuances with mineral-based

sunscreens for example the ingredient

titanium dioxide there is some emerging

evidence that it passes the blood brain

barrier which can be accumulated in the

brain not great yeah you know what

sometimes seems like the safest best

option eventually ends up being fraught

with problems and then we discover that

it causes cancer and it causes all these

other problems so you know you have to

be careful with um with the information

that you trust and always realize that

there might be some harm that's

discovered U down the road that we don't

really know about yet especially for

newer types of um sunscreens or sun

blocks or like any new medication for

example we might feel that it's safe now

and it might be the latest coolest thing

but down the road we might find out that

it actually causes problems and that's

also one of the disadvantages with going

with like a newer technology like for

skin care or or for makeup or something

like that cuz if they're using say like

a nano technology and it sounds so cool

and it's this like patented did new

delivery mechanism it might sound great

and it might actually work quite well

now but who knows what we find out about

you know in years from now and maybe

we'll find out that it was quite harmful

and then it gets taken off the market

and that's really my general approach

when it comes to like anything new in

especially Aesthetics um I'm always a

bit wary if it's a new device let's say

a new laser you know that there was one

company promoting a laser for helping

with hair regrowth you know I'm very

skeptical I'm always worried about the

potential downsides and really like how

beneficial is this new technology so I'm

not always the first to jump on you know

the new tech bandwagon um unless it

truly has been demonstrated to be you

know great but also you want to see how

it does on the market for many many

years not just for a couple of years or

or for half a year or if there's one

study that supports it okay you know is

it really safe and is it effective and

that's I think something that we all

need to ask ourselves whether it's new

tech or whether it's just new um

Cosmetics or or sunscreens for for that

matter now the evidence is still

emergent but the point is you want to be

ingredient aware now in choosing a

sunscreen you can be aware of the

ingredient but that doesn't mean that

you'll know exactly what its effect will

be in 10 years on all the people who

have been consuming it so just realize

there's always going to be some unknowns

especially with newer ingredients and

newer types of product prodcts if you're

swimming or you're playing sports and

you're going to become sweaty or if

you're in an ocean environment and you

want to be Marine friendly choose the

right one for the right application so

what do we do in preparing for this

video I decided not to recommend a

specific sunscreen or even a group of

sunscreens I thought we could work on

this together because I was apprehensive

that you recommend a given thing and

then more evidence comes out and we

change our opinion so this is really an

ongoing evolving process I know that has

been the case for me over the past few

years we choose the sunscreen we learn

more about ingred we change again it's a

continued process of trying to get

better at maximizing the benefit and

minimizing the potential harm y that's a

good way to put it absolutely I think

Brian's doing the right thing and I

think there's nothing wrong with

recommending whatever he's using now but

then realizing that that might change it

might change a week from now a month

from now 6 months from now you know

we'll see but sometimes you need to make

the change as new information comes out

and also sometimes people develop an

allergic reaction it may not be evident

right away but as they keep using say

it's a cosmetic product they might

realize that after months or years of

using it now they developed a

sensitivity to some element within that

cream or makeup or whatever it is and

then they have to look for other options

now if you don't like sunscreen and you

think they're the worst thing ever I

would encourage you to take measures to

protect your skin from the damage that

can happen during High UV times of the

day now for the protips you can tint

your windows but make sure you choose

the right one it should block 99% of UVA

and UVB you can also wear gloves when

driving a lot of people don't remember

their hands get a lot of sun exposure

that's why when you measure arms there's

significant aging damage more on the

left arm which is outside the window in

the Sun and less on the right yeah and

that's what I was mentioning earlier

about the left side of the face getting

more sun exposure while you drive than

the right side and so too what he's

saying the left hand is getting exposed

more to the Sun as well so that all

makes sense unless you drive on the

other side of the road and finally you

can use a UV protectant umbrella just

like this

[Music]

guy this guy made this into like a whole

cinematic

[Music]

experience whose channel is this John

Wayne too much and too little the sun is

not good you want just the right amount

like Goldilocks isn't that the case with

everything in life you know it's um it's

always about finding the right dose the

right therapeutic window for whatever it

is that you're doing whether it's

exercise whether it's eating whether

it's sleep you know that it's possible

to potentially get too much of something

and then of course it's possible to get

too little of something so no matter if

it's a medication um surgery plastic

surgery um sun exposure you know all of

these things you have to find the right

amount and the right amount for one

person might be different than another

person so that's also something that

people people sometimes need to titrate

it to have it work with their own bodies

that's also very important
