Don’t forget to apply your sun cream now the ☀️ is out. Applying sun cream to your feet is just as important as protecting the rest of your body, yet it is often overlooked. The skin on the tops of the feet is thin and highly exposed to direct sunlight when wearing sandals, flip-flops, or going barefoot, making it especially vulnerable to sunburn and long-term UV damage. Repeated exposure without protection can increase the risk of premature ageing, painful burns, and even skin cancer. In particular, melanoma — the most serious form of skin cancer — can develop on the feet and often goes unnoticed until it has progressed, because people rarely check this area of the feet. Using a broad-spectrum sun cream with a high SPF and reapplying it regularly helps keep the skin healthy, protected, and safe while enjoying time outdoors.
