Wear Sunscreen All Year Round
An afternoon in the summer sun obviously calls for a good coating of sunscreen, but don’t underestimate the danger through the winter months. Regardless of the air temperature, sunlight can reach through the atmosphere and right to your skin.
Snowy days can be particularly problematic: sunshine can seep through clouds and reflect off the white snow, onto your skin and into your eyes. Make it a point to wear sunglasses and sunscreen on any exposed skin all year, no matter how cold it gets.
