Let’s be honest, how many of you did not apply sunscreen when you head out to school or work? With the UV rays from the sun that can cause skin cancer, it is very important for you to apply suncreen. Moreover, missing some key spots on the face can increase the risk of skin cancer. The next time you apply sunscreen, remember to put on here:
Spot Number 1: Eyelid
The eyelid is the first spot that is common forgotten by us. Well, it is understandable that some sunblock is not applicable on the eyelid as it will sting when it gets in the eyes. The next time you buy a new sunscreen, remember to choose the one that is suitable for the eye area, or, choose an eye cream that contains SPF for day use.
Spot Number 2: Medial canthal region
Medial canthal region is the spot across the bridge of the nose and the inner corners of the eyes. People who wear spectacles will tend to forget it easily as we are wearing specs most of the time. To be honest, I’m one of them who missed this spot.
According to Mental Floss, 5 to 20% of skin cancers affect the eyelids. It is one of the spots that most people forget to protect, thus it is prone to cancer. The correct way of SPF application can help to block harmful UV rays. On top of that, pick a new pair of sunglasses that can help to protect you from the UV rays for the additional protection.
