Sunscreen: Where to Apply It
Where Should You Apply Sunscreen?
A sunscreen that sits in the cabinet is like having a gun for protection that you keep unloaded. Men in particular are unreliable in using and correctly applying sunscreen protection.
Please get into the habit of applying sunscreen protection to your face and neck - especially the nose. Of the 3000 cases I do a year, over 1000 are nose-related. Sunscreen should be applied to all exposed areas and even areas you may not think are exposed.
Cover your ears, nose and neck, front and back. If you apply sunscreen too fast and too thick, streaked areas can still be exposed.
Yes, sun screen products can potentially protect against liver spots because you primarily suffer from liver spots where there has been sun exposure. It is a cumulative phenomenon.
Sun damage on the lower legs can have worse consequences than damage on the sides of the neck, so please do not ignore applications to your lower legs!
