Winter & Your SPF: Snow & Ice reflect up to 80% of UV radiation emitted by the sun

I posted a poll on Instagram to see how many of my followers actively wear sunscreen all year round including the winter. To my pleasant surprise, about 80% of my followers do which makes me soooo happy! 🤍

𝔻𝕚𝕕 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕜𝕟𝕠𝕨? Snow & ice reflect up to 80% of UV rays emitted by the sun! To draw a comparison, most surfaces only reflect about 10% or less which means that winter snow & ice exposes you to almost a double dose of UV compared to other seasons! ☀️

SPF should be worn daily — even during the winter & even if you’re going to be indoors! The sun can penetrate windows and still has the ability to cause damaging effects to the skin ☹️

The sun is responsible for skin cancer, 90% of the skins premature aging, sun spots, and much more! Ensure that you’re using a broad spectrum (protecting against UVA & UVB rays) SPF 30-50 daily ✨If you haven’t found the right one, schedule a consultation today I’ll give you a few recommendations 🤍
