Channel 7’s Sunrise interviewed Sydney dermatologist Dr Ritu Gupta regarding her opinion on the recent sunscreen SPF testing results.
A few weeks ago, consumer advocate brand CHOICE shocked everyone when it released test results on 20 popular sunscreen brands in Australia. CHOICE found 18 out of the 20 brands failed to provide their promised SPFs, a result that stunned consumers. Dr Ritu has urged for stricter product regulations regarding how SPF ratings are conducted.
Dr Ritu explained the importance of transparency in test results, especially as it directly concerns consumer safety. She further explained what sun protection means and how it works.
Dr Ritu concluded the interview with an important reminder that sunscreen should be applied and reapplied thoroughly, especially during expected prolonged sun exposure. This is regardless of SPF score.
