Shield your eyes
One of the most vulnerable areas you’re exposing during summer activities is the skin around your eyes. “Eyelid skin is the thinnest skin on the body, unfortunately, and skin cancers can often occur around the eyes,” says Marguerite Germain, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina.In fact, eyelids are one of the ten places you’re probably ignoring when you check for skin cancer. “I wear wraparound sunglasses to protect my eyes and use Colorescience Total Eye 3-in-1 Renewal Therapy SPF 35 to protect my eyelids and under my eyes. In addition to the sun protection, it also improves dark circles and decreases fine lines.”
