Sun protection for the winter months
Filed Under Skin Care
One of the biggest mistakes that people commit during winter months is skipping the use of sun screen lotion. This practice seems to have stemmed from the belief that sun rays are hardly strong enough to cause skin damage around that time of the year. However, even though the intensity of sunlight decreases considerably in the winter months, the same cannot be said about ultraviolet radiation that is the main culprit behind skin damage and sun spots. Hence, it is extremely important to use proper sun protection even during chilly weather.
A good sunscreen with an SPF rating of minimum 15 is a must to sufficiently protect you against UVA and UBB rays. You should apply it on all exposed parts of your body including face, neck, hands and back. Even if it is not sunny outside on a winter day, do not forget to wear light tinted glares to protect the sensitive under eye skin.
