Do you wear SPF every day? Consultant dermatologist Dr Veronique Bataille joins Liz to unpack whether daily sunscreen use and avoiding the sunshine does more harm than good.

She also details the rise in skin issues among young women caused by excessive use of skincare products, and talks Liz through the evidence on whether we need to wear SPF50 all year round.
