Summer may be over, but that doesn’t mean you should shelve your sunscreen. In Fact, The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends using a broad spectrum sunscreen year-round with an SPR15 or higher. Many doctors also recommend that sunscreen application becomes a daily habit, like brushing your teeth.
DID YOU KNOW?
Both UVA and UVB rays play different roles in damaging our skin. UVA has long been known to play a major part in skin aging and researchers have recently found that it may initiate the development of skin cancers. UVA is present with relatively equal intensity during all daylight hours throughout the year, and can penetrate clouds and glass. These rays are also 20 times more abundant than their UVB counterparts, which are responsible for sunburn and are the leading cause of skin cancer. UVB rays can damage your skin year-round, especially at high altitudes and on reflective surfaces such as snow or ice.
