Sunscreen fact and fiction: What the science says
Somehow, the idea that we need to protect our skin from the sun has blurred in recent years — largely due to online misinformation. We asked dermatologists about the science on sunscreen products.
Stanford Dermatology Clinic
The dermatologists at the Stanford Dermatology Clinic are a great resource for learning how to prevent skin, hair, and nail concerns. They can teach you how to protect yourself from the sun to avoid skin cancer, caution you about hairstyles that can contribute to hair loss, and advise you about how to care for your nails to prevent common conditions such as acne or nail fungus.

Photobiomodulation, the use of light waves to change human biology, has boomed in recent years for all kinds of purposes, at medical clinics and at home. We wanted to know what the science says - and doesn't say.
