Don’t Fry Day: Why Foot Sun Protection Matters More Than You Think
What is Don’t Fry Day? It’s the Friday before Memorial Day, created to raise awareness about sun safety as we head into summer. Whether you’re hanging out at Barton Springs with friends or barbequing with family this Memorial Day Weekend, don’t forget your SPF! While most people remember to apply sunscreen to their face and arms, one area is often forgotten: your feet.
The tops of your feet are highly vulnerable to sunburn—and if you have diabetes, neuropathy, or a history of wounds, even a small burn can lead to bigger problems like infection or delayed healing. Before you slip on those sandals, think SPF.
