What the gurus are saying

Gurus emphasize that sunscreen is a non-negotiable foundation of skincare, with the most important factor being consistent daily use. The recurring theme is that the best sunscreen is the one you'll actually wear regularly and enjoy applying. There's broad agreement on simplicity and ease of application as key to adherence, though gurus caution against misleading viral tests like spreadability checks, which don't indicate efficacy.

"I always say there's no point in using something like this or any skin care if you're not also going to protect it from the sun, right, because that is number one: not inviting more sun damage and more killing of the collagen that you do have through sun exposure. I love most about this is because it's so easy to use. Other things you have to smear goo all over your face and you have to rub it and do all this other stuff. With this you just put it on, it's 10 minutes, you can relax, you can multitask, you can do whatever you want, and then it's done. It's nice that then you don't have to wash your face again or you know you can just put on your skin care and you can go. Sunscreen is protecting you from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation but it's also a moisturizer."

"If you want simple and effective I would say stick with the big three so in my skincare routine the big three are sunscreen, tretinoin and vitamin C. Sunscreen should be simple to use but it's so hard to find one that you really love. Really the sunscreen to use is the one that you'll use every day, the one that you like putting on, the one that you like how it lays under your makeup so you have to find that one."

"I took that personally as an Australian and as one of the internet's leading sunscreen connoisseurs I made a video about why it wasn't as scary as people were making it sound."

"Things like spreading sunscreen on toast and then using that to tell whether or not the sunscreen is good, this goes really viral and a lot of people seem to believe it's a good test, but what it's really testing is how wet the sunscreen is, because water is amazing at absorbing heat. If you have like a moisturizer, it's going to do exactly the same thing."
