“Sunscreen isn’t just for summer! While we usually stash away our SPF when the temps drop, it’s actually a year-round essential. Here’s why you should keep it in your daily routine—even when the sun isn’t shining!”
UV Rays Are Still Present – The sun’s got two sneaky sidekicks: UVA & UVB! While UVB rays (the ones that make you sunburn) take a winter break, UVA rays party all year long. They zoom through clouds and even glass, fast-tracking wrinkles and skin damage. So, sunscreen isn’t just for summer—stay protected every season!
Prevents Premature Aging – Wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots? Blame UVA rays—they’re like uninvited guests that never leave! But don’t worry, SPF is your skin’s superhero, fighting off damage and keeping you glowing and youthful.
Reduces Risk of Skin Cancer – Think SPF is just for summer? Think again! UV rays are sneaky all year round, quietly adding up and increasing the risk of skin cancer (yep, even melanoma ). But don’t worry—daily SPF is like armour for your skin, keeping it safe no matter the season!
Snow and Ice Reflect UV Rays – Snow lovers, listen up! That fresh powder isn’t just for shredding—it’s also bouncing up to 80% of UV rays right back at you! Double the exposure means double the reason to slather on that SPF before hitting the slopes!
Protects Against Wind and Cold Damage – Winter winds got your skin feeling like a desert? Good news—many sunscreens double as hydration heroes! They lock in moisture while shielding you from UV rays, so you stay smooth, not chapped. SPF isn’t just protection—it’s a winter skincare win!
So now you know why we recommend sun protection all year round are you going to make a change to your skin regime?
