Ep 118 - I Love To Be Outside, Do I Really HAVE To Wear Sunscreen?

Jun 9, 2026 · 45 min · Ep 118

A sunburn you forgot about might be the one your skin never does. In this episode, I’m joined by Christina DeLeon of Well Ave Dermatology to talk about skin cancer prevention, sunscreen myths, and what it really takes to protect your skin when you spend your life outdoors. From melanoma awareness and skin checks to the truth about sunscreen ingredients, we break through the noise with practical, evidence-based guidance that actually makes sense.

We also dive into everyday skincare—sensitive skin, barrier repair, UV-protective clothing, and the overwhelm of viral skincare trends. Christina keeps it refreshingly simple: build a strong foundation first, then add treatments intentionally instead of chasing every new product online. Whether you’re a gardener, farmer, beach lover, or just someone trying to take better care of your skin, this conversation will help you protect it for the long haul.
