SPF is the real anti-aging — a framework by Ole Wang

Hand-drawn diagram of framework 121, SPF is the real anti-aging: The one anti-aging habit with a trial behind it. — Framework 121 · in one look

How to use it

Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen on face and hands, all year. It's the one "anti-aging" habit here with a randomised trial showing slower skin aging. Seeing your own sun damage (a UV photo) helps people stick to it.

How sure we are

S Evidence: strong. Large trials or many studies, pointing the same way.

P Evidence: promising. Good studies, but small or few. Use it and keep checking.
