Happy Friday everyone!
Today’s skin tip hits close to home as my grandfather recently discovered he has skin cancer on his ear. Thank God it was caught on time but it serves as a reminder that we need to make sure we are covering all our exposed areas when applying sunscreen. Our ears and the tops of our feet are commonly forgotten places but areas where skin cancer can develop. It’s also a good reminder to have yearly checkups with a dermatologist for safety measures.
Wishing you a safe weekend!

Sorry to hear that lovely! Good think it was caught on time! I think I already told you that my aunt died of breast cancer a few years ago! This still is the most awful disease! And October is the breast cancer awareness month so well done talking about it! xx, Annie | Annie’s Beauty

Thanks Annie. I’m glad too. Oh I’m so sorry to hear that. 🙁 I can’t image how devastating that must be. Two of my family members were diagnosed with breast cancer and I see the toll it can take. I’m sure she is resting in heaven now.

This is such a good reminder! I often forget to apply sunscreen and almost always forget my ears. Thank you for sharing this! I hope all goes well with your grandfather’s recovery. xxx

Wow so glad to hear that it was caught in time! I never think about my ears or the tops of my feet, so this is great advice (esp living in Fl where I’m always in flip-flops)!

Thanks! Me too. It’s scary. You know, I would have never thought the feet either but it happens and apparently skin cancer on the ear is the 3rd most common. Yikes!
