Michelle - Thanks for this important information. You're absolutely right, the ears are often overlooked when it comes to sunscreen.
After I moved to Arizona I began seeing rough, chapped skin on my ears and went to several different sources for information on how to treat this. A wise woman asked me if I was new to Arizona and then told me that I was experiencing the effects of sunburned ears. While she didn't mention the skin cancer risk, she did help me realize that I needed to include my ears in my daily moisturizer and sunscreen routine. The skin problems cleared up almost immediately and haven't come back.
Amother caution I've learned about is the impact of the sun coming through the windshield while driving, and the need for sunscreen even during a short trip in the car. While it may not seem like outdoor exposure, it really is, and the risks are still there.
Thanks again for this critical self-empowHerment information.
Take good care,
Pat
