Baby, It’s Cold Outside!

Baby, it’s cold outside! But, don’t let the cold temps fool you into putting your sunscreen away. Even though you’re wearing plenty of warm layers to keep you covered in our freezing cold weather, remember that you need to keep your face, neck, and hands protected from the sun’s harmful rays by applying protective sunscreen.

Snow and ice reflect UV rays. Sure, it might seem gray outside, but snow and ice reflect the sun’s harmful rays. This means you should keep applying your SPF on a regular, daily basis. Heading to the slopes for some exercise and fun? You’ll definitely want a stronger sunscreen formula made for winter sports.

There’s a thinner ozone layer. The colder seasons mean the ozone layer is thinning out. So, there is less ozone in our atmosphere to absorb the sun’s UV radiation. Even though it feels colder outside, there are actually more of the sun’s harmful rays hitting the earth’s surface and, yes, your skin. Be sure to prevent getting a cold-weather burn by using a product with SPF 30 or higher.
