Why Sun Protection is Important in Winter
                     
The impacts of the sun in 
winter
Although the presence of the sun usually 
enchants us, everyone knows that exposure to it 
can have negative impacts. Indeed, the sun 
emits so-called ultraviolet (UV) rays, the two 
most famous types of which are UVA and UVB.
While UVB rays are responsible for the 
classic sunburn, UVA rays are more responsible 
for the immediate tan obtained during sun 
exposure. Both are involved in the premature 
ageing of the skin. 
Also, it has been shown that sun exposure can 
lead to various more serious health problems, 
including the development of skin cancer. 
Fortunately, adequate sun protection helps 
minimize the risks associated with sun rays.
Winter is no exception
Contrary to what one might think, the sun rays are no less 
dangerous during winter. Up to 80% of the sun rays are 
reflected off the snow. Your skin is therefore exposed not 
only to rays coming from the sky but in addition to those 
reflected by the ground. This is also true on cloudy days 
since a large part of UV rays pass through clouds.
On the other hand, people who practice winter sports in 
the mountains also increase their exposure to UV rays. 
Indeed, the higher you go, the greater the exposure. 300 
meters above sea level, exposure to UV rays increases by 4 
to 5%.
Finally, the winter cold tends to camouflage the sensation 
of heat that the sun causes skin, thus preventing us from 
feeling the burning effect it produces. We then have the 
impression of being protected, when it is not
The basis of protection: the use of 
sunscreen gel
Fortunately, there are some simple ways to protect yourself from the 
effects of the sun, in winter and summer. Whatever the season, the first 
step is to get good sunscreen. This should ideally have the following 
characteristics:
SPF - sun protection factor must be at least SPF 50;
Be broad-spectrum, that is to say, protect against both UVA and UVB 
rays;
take into account the specific characteristics of your skin (eg dry skin vs. 
oily skin);
Contain safe and effective ingredients.
