Sunscreen year round
Most people are aware of the danger of ultraviolet (UV) radiation during summer. But the sun's harmful rays are just as strong and damaging in the winter, making our skin as prone to the changes of developing skin damage or skin cancer as in the summer months. Snow is highly reflective of UV radiation. In fact, fresh snow reflects even more UV radiaton than water. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation also increases with higher elevations. So if you're anywhere on a mountain, you'll need sun protection. A sunscreen with a high SPF (sun protection factor) will help block UV rays and prevent the skin from burning. All exposed areas of skin should be covered with a high broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen. And don't forget your lips: slather your lips with SPF lip balm!
