Tasneem F. Mohammad, MD, delved into the current state of photoprotection, highlighting key advances and challenges in protecting the skin from harmful radiation. The presentation outlines various methods of photoprotection, including sun avoidance, sun-protective clothing, and the use of sunscreen. Tinted sunscreen is touted as the sunscreen that meets the criteria of broad-spectrum UVA and UVB coverage as well as visible light (VL) coverage. However, there are challenges to use like staining and color matching. The presentation also introduced the development of newer sunscreen filters, such as bemotrizinol, Mexoryl 400, and TriAsorB, which offer enhanced protection against UVA, UVB, and VL. 

The role of secondary photoprotective agents is also explored in the lecture. Antioxidants in sunscreens are discussed. Sunscreen with antioxidants has been shown to be similarly effective to tinted sunscreen. Oral photoprotection agents, such as nicotinamide and polypodium leucotomos extract, are mentioned as potential adjuvants for reducing UV-induced damage. The presentation concludes with a discussion on personalized photoprotection, tailored to an individual's skin type, condition, and specific needs, emphasizing the importance of using the right product for optimal skin health.
