Timebeam BeautyThis might be Dr. L’s most controversial beauty rule 👀 For years, her approach to sun exposure was simple: avoid it. But as the research continues to evolve, she takes a more nuanced approach to getting sunlight, while still being very clear that burning & tanning are never the goal. Her approach: ✅ Choose a time of day with a lower UV Index, like first thing in the AM ✅ Get just 3–10 minutes of exposure, depending on your skin tone, 3–5x per week. The rule of thumb: never let your skin turn red. ✅ For all other sun exposure, stay sun safe: hats, sunglasses, UV-protective clothing + broad-spectrum SPF. Still a hard no: 🚫 Burning 🚫 Getting red 🚫 Sun exposure during peak/high UV Index 🚫 Tanning (sorry, there’s no such thing as a “base tan”) Sunlight can be part of a healthy routine. Sun damage doesn’t have to be. Any questions about sun exposure? Ask us!
