Why Do My Feet Get Sunburnt So Easily?

Feet are often forgotten when people apply sunscreen—but they get just as much sun exposure.

Why Feet Burn Quickly

  • Thin skin on the top of the foot
  • High UV exposure at the beach or pool
  • Reflected UV from water or sand

How to Protect Your Feet

  • Apply SPF to tops of feet and toes
  • Reapply after swimming
  • Wear beach shoes or sandals with coverage
  • Treat burns with cool compresses and aloe

Severe sunburn blisters may require podiatry care.
