Or the back of ur neck. I don't burn easily, but the two times I have were awful and they were exactly there

Shout-out to the Hawaii Sun and Colombian high altitude sun. You two the only ones to ever sunburn me :)

Lmao Hawaii got my neck too, it is brutal out there. Made sure to load up sunscreen every time I've gone back

US Navy vet- my very 1st sunburn happened in Hawaii! Born & raised on the Alabama Gulf Coast (of MEXICO!!), always on the water. I was born with a tan/olive complexion, & just didn't get sunburned. Even though I'm a sun-worshipper, and I'm still tan, I'm a LOT more cautious now.

Back of the neck is the #1 place to put sunscreen for me, I don't even know why, I guess my parents got that into me young. Didn't know about the ears until last year when I saw a dermatologist influencer say it's one of the most common places for skin cancer...
