Why You Shouldn’t Put Away The SPF In Winter 

SPF in winter is vital – just because you cannot see the sun, it doesn’t mean it is not having an effect. Stay protected all year round!

Do you need SPF in winter? Yes! SPF is vital all year round. You are not protected in winter – even if you can’t see the sun. Harsh winter weather can be drying and taxing to the skin, so use a sunscreen that also moisturises while it protects.  

SPF in Winter?

Using SPF in winter is crucial in maintaining healthy skin, preventing cancer and avoiding sun damage. UV rays damage collagen and elastin – which speeds up premature wrinkling.

Winter Sports

The sun’s rays are more harmful when they reflect off snow and icy surfaces. In fact snow can reflect up to 80% of the sun’s UV rays. Winter sports put you at a greater risk of UV exposure – the higher the latitude, the greater the danger. Snow and strong winds wear sunscreen away so make sure you reapply regularly.

Beware of Glass 

UVA rays can even penetrate through glass, so the sun can still reach you in the car – or if you sit indoors by a window.  While these rays don’t cause sunburn, they can cause long term damage to the skin. They can also contribute to skin cancer like melanoma. People who sit close to windows without protection are more likely to have pronounced crows’ feet and deeper wrinkles. 

SPF in Winter – Extra Moisture

SPF is also another layer of moisture and hydration – which is good protection in the winter.  It helps to lock in hydration which is essential during the cold weather. Don’t forget reapplication when necessary. SPF prevents premature skin ageing like wrinkles and pigmentation – and prevention is always better than a cure. 

SPF in winter is a must. Wear sunscreen 365 days of the year regardless of the year regardless of the weather or season. UV rays penetrate through clouds. Apply liberally and every couple of hours. Invest in our SkinBase SPF in the shop now.

Rebecca Willshee Nail and Beauty Specialist

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
