is it normal that I need to apply more sunscreen to certain parts of my body?

cross-posted from: linux.community/post/1157155

this is strange, but I have the feeling I have to apply more sunscreen to my arms and shoulders. OTOH I feel my legs and torso don’t need as much stuff, neither does my face.

When I sunbath I only wear my swim trunks and I lay on the ground, which means my legs and torso receive the same amount of radiation as my arms and shoulders.

I could understand that my arms and shoulders needed more sunscreen if I walked under the sun, but that’s rarely the case: I lay on the ground.

Does this happen to you?

my arms are thinner than my legs: do I need more sunscreen in the areas where blood vessels are thinner / muscles are leaner?

Considering what you’ve said, it just sounds like a sweat thing or just need better coverage overall and happen to get it for your shoulders and arms.

I’m tragically white so I’ve never sunbathed, but I very rarely need sunscreen on my legs at all.

Just a wild guess on my part: it might be that there are more nerve endings on your arms than on your legs, so your arms are more sensitive to the sensations that you need to re-apply sunscreen. Nerve density varies greatly between body parts and even people.
