Cloudy, sunny, rainy, snowy…. Wear sunscreen whatever the weather! 💙 SPF is your best defense against skin cancer.
Why you need SPF in winter
💙 UVA Rays are Constant: UVA rays, which cause aging and deep skin damage, don’t change seasonally and are strong year-round, even on cloudy days.
💙 Reflection from Snow: Snow and ice reflect UV radiation, intensifying exposure, which is crucial for skiers or anyone in snowy areas.
💙 Cloud Pe*******on: Clouds don’t block all UV rays; significant amounts still get through.
💙 Retinol Use: If you use retinoids or exfoliants, your skin is more sensitive to the sun, making daily SPF essential.
