This is Why Sunscreen Alone Won’t Save Your Skin

Have you ever wondered why traditional sunscreens aren’t enough to protect your skin from all forms of light damage? In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, I’m sitting down with Jamie McGuire to break down the truth about blue light exposure, SPF, and effective melasma protocols.

We dive into why hyperpigmentation often worsens with artificial light exposure, the importance of full-spectrum protection, and how Young Goose’s innovative formulas address common skin concerns like melasma, sensitivity, and inflammation. Plus, we tackle the "clean beauty" debate—are some ingredients being unfairly criticized?

Jamie McGuire is a skincare expert with over 15 years of experience in personalized skincare protocols. Her holistic approach focuses on helping clients achieve long-term skin health through science-backed recommendations and innovative biohacking products.

Whether you’re dealing with melasma or looking for smarter protection against blue light, this episode offers valuable insights and real solutions to refine your routine for radiant, resilient skin.
