People forget to apply suncream in two areas.

An expert is warning people about areas that are often missed when applying suncream. It's easy to get sunburnt in the UK, even on cloudy days.

Sunscreen should be applied to all exposed skin, including the face and neck.

Specialists say people often forget to apply suncream to some spots, which can cause painful burns.

People who don't wear sunglasses need to apply suncream to their eyelids.

People often forget to apply suncream to their armpits.

Apply suncream to armpits before deodorant and reapply if you sweat. Don't forget the back of your hands.

Other areas that are often missed include lips and feet.

The NHS says to avoid direct sunlight between 11am and 3pm and use at least factor 30 sunscreen. It also advises covering up and taking extra care with children.

Babies and young children need extra protection because their skin is very sensitive.

If you get sunburnt, the NHS advises taking a cool bath and applying a soothing cream.

You can take painkillers like paracetamol to relieve sunburn pain. If you feel unwell, seek medical help.
