skin exposure
Uncovered body surface
Skin exposure is contact between skin and something potentially harmful—chemicals, radiation, extreme temperatures, or infectious agents.
The term appears most often in safety contexts: Limit skin exposure to solvents by wearing gloves.
In photography and tanning, exposure refers to light reaching a surface, so skin exposure can also mean how much sunlight the skin receives.
