Neglected Areas for Sun Cream Application: Armpits and Backs of Hands

Neglected Areas for Sun Cream Application: Armpits and Backs of Hands

### Areas Often Overlooked for Sun Cream Application

Many people neglect to apply sun cream in two specific areas when protecting themselves from the sun.

One common area is the armpits. It's important to apply sun cream there before using deodorant, especially if you're sweating. Also, don’t overlook the back of your hands; these areas often get missed, putting you at risk of sunburn.

In warmer months, being careful with sun exposure is crucial to prevent skin damage. Always remember to reapply sun cream regularly for effective protection.

"Armpits, make sure you apply [suncream] before deodorant and reapply if you're sweating. And don't forget the back of your hands," said the expert.
