Not just the face and body, here are the areas we forget to protect from the sun

When we think about sun protection, the focus is usually on the face and body, while the scalp is often neglected. However, this area is just as exposed to ultraviolet radiation and can suffer sun damage.

Specialists warn that people with thin, sparse hair or those with visible hair partings are more at risk of scalp burns, as the rays penetrate the skin more easily.

The most sensitive areas are the hairline, the area near the forehead, and the neck, which receive direct contact with the sun's rays. Prolonged exposure without protection can cause not only redness and irritation, but also other skin changes that can go unnoticed due to coverage by hair.

Experts advise that the scalp be checked periodically for unusual spots or marks, while hairdressers can also help identify changes that are not easily noticeable.

For those who spend long hours in the sun, additional protection is necessary. Hats, protective scalp products with SPF factor, and avoiding exposure during peak hours are among the recommended measures.
