SHOULDERS 2 x 10p

‘YOUR shoulders are a common area to miss, partly because they’re hard to do yourself,’ says Dr Hextall.

‘Therefore, make sure you get a good application of suncream [two 10p-sized blobs] before you go outside rather than waiting until you’re out.’

Shoulders are also vulnerable as they’re covered up for much of the year.

‘Skin that’s covered for winter

is far more likely to burn as it will have built up less protective melanin,’ says Dr Hextall.

‘So you need to be especially careful in spring and early summer, though it might not be as hot as later in the year.

‘Your lower arms, hands and face will have had sun exposure even in winter, but the same isn’t true of your shoulders if you take your cardigan off on a hot day.’
