The Ultimate Guide to Sunscreen
Beyond the face!
When we think about sunscreen, our minds often jump straight to our faces. While protecting our facial skin is crucial, there are other body parts that are equally exposed to the sun and need our attention. At Morpheus Medical Aesthetics, we believe in comprehensive sun protection that covers every inch of your skin. So, let’s dive into the fun and essential areas you might be missing!
1. The Scalp Situation
For all the balding gentlemen out there (and even those with thinning hair), your scalp is just as vulnerable to sun damage as your face. A sunburned scalp is no joke – it can be painful and increase your risk of skin cancer. Opt for a sunscreen spray or powder specifically designed for the scalp. They’re easy to apply and won’t leave your hair greasy.
2. The Neglected Neck and Ears
Your neck and ears are often forgotten but are always exposed. These areas have delicate skin that can age faster with sun damage. Don’t stop at your jawline – make sure to extend your sunscreen application down to your neck and behind your ears. You’ll thank us later!
3. The Back of Your Hands
Our hands are constantly in the sun, especially when driving. Sunspots and wrinkles on your hands can be a dead giveaway of age. Keep a tube of sunscreen in your car and apply it to your hands frequently.
4. Feet and Ankles, Too!
If you’re wearing sandals or flip-flops, your feet and ankles are exposed. Remember to slather sunscreen on them, especially on the tops of your feet. No one wants a sunburn that makes wearing shoes uncomfortable!
5. All-Around Sun Safety
Don’t forget other frequently exposed areas like your shoulders, back, and legs. Whether you’re out for a run, at the beach, or gardening, these areas need protection too. Make applying sunscreen part of your daily routine, like brushing your teeth.
6. Reapply, Reapply, Reapply!
One application in the morning won’t last all day. Reapply every two hours, or more often if you’re swimming or sweating. Make it fun by setting a timer or using a catchy reminder on your phone.
