The Importance of Winter Sun Protection

Winter protection is just as important as summer sun protection because even when temperatures are cold, ultraviolet radiation can damage your skin. UV rays are present year-round, remaining relatively constant throughout the year. Cloudy skies and chilly temperatures may make the sun feel less intense, but UV rays can still penetrate clouds and reach your skin. Snow can reflect up to 80% of ultraviolet radiation, which means that your skin receives UV exposure both directly from the sun and indirectly from the ground. Winter conditions weaken the skin’s moisture barrier, making it more susceptible to irritation. SEACOW Tallow Sunscreen Balm SPF 30 moisturizes and nourishes the skin during wintertime outdoor activities and fun in the snow.
