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.
