scalp
It is natural to think that the scalp is safe from UV rays because it is protected by hair.

However, the scalp is located at the highest point of the body, making it more susceptible to sunburn than other parts.

You should always apply sunscreen to your scalp and hairline or wear a hat.

If you are concerned about oiliness, you can use a scalp-specific sunscreen in powder or mist form.

 

 

eyelid
Because the skin on the eyelids is relatively thin, it is prone to skin aging issues such as wrinkles, freckles, and skin cancer.

If you find sticky sunscreen burdensome, using an eye cream with SPF is also an option.

 

 

ear
Since the ears are frequently exposed to sunlight, be sure to apply sunscreen.

Long hair is no exception. According to research results

The ears are said to be the third most common site for skin cancer.

It is recommended to apply it thoroughly to the front and back of your ears, and please wear a wide-brimmed hat that covers your ears.

 

 

foot
If you wear sandals a lot in the summer, you must apply sunscreen to the tops of your feet.

It is fine for the soles of the feet with a thick layer of calluses, but please be sure to apply it to the ankles or the tops of the feet where the skin layer is thin.

 

 

lips
You can prevent skin cancer by applying lip balm with an SPF of 30 or higher to your lips.

It is recommended to apply it every two hours, and if you do not have a lip balm-type sunscreen...

You may use products applied to the face.

 

 

neck
It is said that 20% of melanoma skin cancers are found in the neck and head area.

However, since it is an easy area to forget, please make sure to apply it every morning!
