The face is one of the areas most commonly affected by skin cancer, and your nose sits right at the center of it.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, skin cancer-like basal cell carcinomas can be found on parts of the body that get the most sun exposure, like the nose. These high-exposure areas are also prone to melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer.
In their early stages, it can be easy to mistake these for a pimple, scar, or sore, so you must be vigilant with putting sunscreen on those parts and know how to recognize skin cancer or precancerous growths.
If the threat of skin cancer wasn't enough to convince you to protect yourself, remember that scars and damage caused by any facial lesion will be extra apparent because of the nose's prominence on the face. UV protection is the simplest way to keep your skin healthy, young, and unblemished as you age.
