Are skin checks still necessary in winter? ☀️❄️
When we think of sun safety and skin checks, summer comes to mind — beach days, sunscreen, harsh UV rays. But skin cancer doesn’t take a break, so checks are just as important in winter. Here’s why you should book yours this season.
1. Skin cancer doesn’t take a season off ⏳ – UV damage adds up over time, and cancers can appear months or years later, regardless of the season.
2. Early detection saves lives 🔎 – Skin checks help catch changes or growths early, when treatment is most effective. This can be done anytime and winter checks can spot changes from last summer’s higher UV exposure.
3. Winter = less sunburn, not less UV ☀️ – UV rays can still reach you through clouds and reflect off surfaces like water, sand, and even snow.
4. Changes can happen any time 📆 – New spots or changes to moles can occur in cooler months, especially from cumulative sun exposure in earlier seasons.
