11 Places on Your Body You’re Not Using Sunscreen (But You Should)

The top of your hands

Scientists say that your skin starts losing collagen and elasticity if it’s exposed to the sun for a longer period of time. This might be the case in particular for the tops of your hands because they usually are neglected when applying sunscreen.

Our best advice is to make sure to apply sunscreen on the top of your hands as well and more often than on the other parts. Why? Because we use our hands in any kind of activity we might be doing, so they dehydrate faster than the rest of the body.

We also recommend applying sunscreen on your hands in every season, because apart from having a protective agent, it also hydrates the skin.
