❄️ Winter doesn’t mean UV-free, indoors or outdoors. ❄️
☀️
Up to 80% of UV rays reflect off snow, increasing exposure during winter activities.
☀️
UVA rays are the primary cause of premature aging and skin cancer are present year-round, pe*****te clouds, and pass through windows. Meaning your skin is exposed even while driving, working near windows, and sitting indoors with natural light.
☀️
Cumulative daily exposure can lead to:
• Fine lines and wrinkles from collagen breakdown
• Hyperpigmentation and melasma flares
• Increased lifetime skin cancer risk
☀️
Derm winter SPF essentials:
✔️ Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning
✔️ Apply to face, ears, lips, neck, and hands
✔️ Reapply every 2 hours with prolonged outdoor exposure
Cold weather isn’t protection… consistent sunscreen is.
