Just read something about sunscreen that blew my mind

Honestly, I was reading a study from the University of Liverpool and they found that people miss about 20% of their face when applying sunscreen, mostly around the eyes and eyelids. I've been telling clients to be thorough for years, but seeing that exact number really hit home. Has anyone else found a good way to demonstrate this to clients without scaring them?

You could try the UV camera trick. Some dermatologists use them to show exactly where sunscreen is missed. It turns those missed spots dark purple against the lighter protected areas. Makes it super clear without being scary, just factual. Maybe borrow one for a demo day? Seeing that 20% gap on their own face would convince anyone.

My clinic uses a UV camera for sunscreen checks every May. It shows people exactly where they missed spots, and they always reapply better after seeing it.
