Most people use sunscreen to protect themselves from the harmful UV rays of the sun. While many apply it only on their face or sometimes on their face and hands, there are several other parts of the body that also need protection. Neglecting these areas can lead to tanning, sunburn, and skin damage.

Here are some key body parts where you should apply sunscreen along with the face:

Neck
The neck is frequently exposed to sunlight and can easily darken or get sunburned. Using sunscreen with at least SPF 30 on the entire neck area helps prevent this damage.

Ears
Ears are often forgotten but are just as vulnerable to sun damage as the face. The skin on the ears is delicate and requires proper protection every time you apply sunscreen on your face.

Thighs
If you wear shorts or skirts, your thighs are exposed to the sun and prone to tanning or sunburn. Make sure to apply sunscreen here to keep the skin protected and healthy.

Back of the hands
People usually apply sunscreen only on the front of their hands. However, the back of the hands gets significant sun exposure as well, so it’s important to cover both sides thoroughly.

Top of the feet
The upper part of your feet often gets sun exposure, especially if you wear sandals. Sunscreen on this area prevents dark spots and sunburn, keeping your skin safe.

By taking care to apply sunscreen on these often missed areas, you can better protect your skin from harmful UV rays and maintain healthier skin overall.
