WINTER SUNSHINE
 
Skin cancer isn't seasonal & it can occur at any time of the year, so sun protection throughout the winter is essential for skin health.
Many people believe there is no need for winter sunscreen if it's is overcast, cloudy, misty or foggy. However, up to 80% of the sun's UVA & UVB rays can penetrate cloud coverage.
 
Protecting yourself at high altitudes - the higher you are, the greater the need for winter sunscreen.
 
Most people just don't realise how much additional sun is received at higher altitudes. It is anywhere from an 8 to 10% increase for every thousand feet of elevation.
 
Reflection of radiation from snow & ice significantly increases the risk of sunburn, therefore protection from this winter sunscreen is essential.
 
When UVB rays hit reflective surfaces such as snow or ice, 80% of the rays will bounce back up and hit your skin twice (compared to the 20% of rays reflected by sand at the beach)
 
Both snow & wind can reduce the effectiveness of sunscreen.
When you're on a mountain in inclement weather, winter sunscreen needs to be reapplied liberally and regularly.
