Did you know? The skin of the eyelid is the thinnest and most vulnerable skin on the body?

This particular skin on the lid of the eye is very susceptible to UV light. Because it surrounds the eyes, eyelids often get missed during sunscreen season. This vulnerable skin can more easily grow basal cell carcinoma than other areas of the body, as discovered through a study conducted at the University of Liverpool.

We recommend you invest in genuine UV filter sunglasses and a hat to protect the eye area when outside, and if you’re interested, look into sunscreen options made especially for around the eyes.
