Importance of Sunscreen in Winters

 

Let’s just be honest! How many of you apply sunscreen in winters? I believe most of you are still unaware of the fact that sunscreen is as important in winter as it is in summer or even more. Have you ever realized that our exposure to the sun is more in winters, the UV rays from the sun are stronger because of the thinness of Ozone layer in cold weather, So that means we are more likely to have skin diseases (like cancer, premature aging and many more) in winter. In order to be safe wear your sunscreen every day and reapply it after every two hours if your exposure to the sun is too much. Sunscreens can be in the form of spray, lotions and powders. If you are wearing a makeup you can go for a face powder with SPF but it has the minimal protection compared to the other two. Always go for a sunscreen with at least SPF 30, generously apply it on your skin and make sure to reapply it after every 2 to 3 hours. If you have a dry skin go for a moisturizing sunscreen to avoid skin irritation, people with oily skin can prefer products that are water or gel based. However, normal skin people can look for any type of sunscreen that they find good it can be organic or inorganic and can apply it on their skin before going out and getting exposed to the harmful rays of the sunlight.
