I'm so glad I clicked the link! I've been almost exclusively using moisturizers with SPF on my face for close to 20 years now. The older I get the more whacked out my skin gets, so I wasn't super keen on the idea of having to find an actual sunscreen that would work for my face. I'm definitely going to be more careful applying it since that seems like the major difference and make sure I include my eyelids. I had no idea that was a common area for skin cancer and living in Vancouver they aren't often protected by sunglasses.

I actively avoid them because I don't want to get it in my eyes. It didn't occur to me that my eyelids were at risk so I guess I better stop that. The only thing that might help is that I often use primer and a nude eyeshadow on my eyelids that could provide a bit of a physical barrier, but I doubt it helps much.
when study participants applied moisturizer, they missed 16 per cent of their face, while that number dropped to 11 per cent when they applied sunscreen. Even more alarming is that they missed 21 per cent of their eyelids, compared to 14 per cent with sunscreen.

I need to be more careful and diligent too. I know I miss my eyelids all the time.

Me too, and just hope I wear my sunglasses enough to protect them.
I was expecting a bigger difference.
I think depending on the amount of time someone spends in the sun everyday, even 5% can really add up.
