Woman & Home: Protect Your Peepers
The latest issue of Woman & Home magazine highlights the need to protect the delicate eye area from the sun after research found that failing to apply SPF properly could increase the risk of skin cancer.
The feature included advice from Dr Ross Perry on skin cancer and moles in an article entitled:
“If you only do one thing, protect your peepers”
Dr Ross Perry told Woman & Home readers:
“…Applying SPF to our eyelids is incredibly important, as the skin around our eyes is up to 10% thinner than anywhere else.”
The delicate nature of the skin puts it at higher risk of issues such as UV damage, which in turn can cause brown spots, premature ageing and even skin cancer.
How To Protect The Eyes From UV Damage
Dr Perry suggested:
“Apply a small amount of SPF< the size of a 10p piece, of at least SPF30.
“Beauty blender sponges are useful for this. SPF needs to be applied every two hours if you’re out in the sun for prolonged periods of time.
“Wear sunglasses with added UV filters and a wide-brimmed hat, and keep hydrated.”
