Sun exposure can cause some of the signs of aging, like discoloration and wrinkles. So, not only is sunscreen an important way to help prevent skin cancer, but it's also a powerful tool in your anti-aging arsenal.
But not everyone knows to regularly put sunscreen on all parts of your body that get frequent sun exposure — not just your face.
That explains why some people might develop a clear difference in the quality of the skin on their face compared to the skin on other parts of their body, like the chest or neck, says Dr. Shasa Hu, board-certified dermatologist.
If you want to improve the health — and appearance — of your skin, make sure you put sunscreen on every part of your body that's exposed to the sun. Yes, that means your neck and heads, for sure, but depending on what you're wearing it could also mean your chest, arms, and legs.
So, while you might already have a solid SPF habit, make it a habit to check yourself in the mirror each day and make sure every bit of you has been slathered in sunscreen.
