I Need to Use Sunscreen Where?

We all know that wearing sunscreen is important to protect our skin from harmful UV rays. But did you know that there are some unusual places you need to wear sunscreen? The talented and skilled aestheticians at the Parsa MD MedSpa in Beverly Hills recommend protecting ALL your skin from harmful burns and UVA/UVB rays. This includes some spots you may have forgotten.

Unusual Places You Need Sunscreen

Here are some places you might not think to apply sunscreen, but should.

1. Scalp: Many people forget to apply sunscreen to their scalp, but it’s important to protect this area, especially if you have thinning hair or bald spots. Sunburn on the scalp can be painful and can even lead to skin cancer. To protect your scalp, apply sunscreen or wear a hat.
2. Ears: Like the scalp, the ears are often overlooked when it comes to sunscreen application. But the ears are a common site for skin cancer, so it’s important to protect them. Apply sunscreen to the ears and behind them, or wear a hat that covers your ears.
3. Lips: The skin on our lips is very thin and can easily become sunburned. To protect your lips, use a lip balm with SPF or apply sunscreen to your lips before heading out into the sun.
4. Feet: If you’re wearing sandals or flip-flops, don’t forget to apply sunscreen to the tops of your feet. This area can easily become sunburned, especially if you’re walking on hot sand or pavement.
5. Hands: Our hands are often exposed to the sun, but we don’t always think to protect them. Apply sunscreen to the backs of your hands and between your fingers to protect this area.
6. Underarms: The skin under our arms can be sensitive and easily irritated by the sun. Apply sunscreen to this area, especially if you’re wearing a sleeveless top or dress.
7. Chest: The skin on our chest is often exposed to the sun, but we don’t always think to protect it. Apply sunscreen to your chest, especially if you’re wearing a low-cut top or swimsuit.
8. Back of knees: The skin on the back of our knees can be sensitive and easily burned by the sun. Apply sunscreen to this area, especially if you’ll be spending time sitting or lying down.
