Why is SPF necessary all year round?
Many people think that sun protection is only needed in the summer, when the sun is at its hottest. However, UV rays reach us in the fall and winter too - even on a cloudy day or when we are indoors near a window. They penetrate deeper than visible light and cause:
-
premature skin aging,
-
pigment spots,
-
skin dryness, feeling of tightness,
-
higher risk of skin diseases.
What is important to know about UV rays?
-
UVB rays - causes burns, most severe in summer.
-
UVA rays - reach the skin all year round, even on a cloudy day. They promote collagen breakdown, wrinkle formation and pigmentation.
-
Snow reflects up to 80% of UV rays, so skin damage is even faster in the mountains in winter.
What SPF should I choose for fall and winter?
The most important thing is that the protection is broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB) and has at least SPF 30. If your skin is sensitive or dry, choose formulas with additional moisturizing ingredients.
