Scalp Sunscreen Is the Most Skipped Step in Anyone's Routine — Here's Why That's a Problem Dermatologists Say the Scalp Is Often Overlooked When It Comes to Sun Protection. Sunscreen is part of many skincare routines, but the scalp is often forgotten. Dermatologists emphasize that the scalp is skin too, and hair does not provide complete protection from harmful UV rays. Your Scalp Needs Sun Protection Repeated UV exposure can damage the scalp, contribute to premature skin ageing, and increase the risk of skin cancer. Sun exposure can also dry out hair strands, making them more prone to breakage. Hair Isn't Complete Protection Thick hair offers some protection, but UV rays can still reach the scalp, especially along the parting, hairline, and areas with thinning hair. Redness, dryness, and sunburn can occur even when the damage is not immediately noticeable. Who's Most at Risk? People with thinning hair, wide partings, shaved heads, or fine, light-coloured hair may have greater scalp exposure. Regular sun protection is particularly important for these individuals. How to Protect Your Scalp Dermatologists recommend applying broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher to exposed areas of the scalp. Wearing a wide-brimmed hat or cap provides additional protection. Lightweight SPF sprays formulated for the scalp can also be convenient. Corporate Gifting with Cheluvu Naturals Wellness isn't one-size-fits-all — and neither are our gifts.
