DID YOU KNOW?

YOUR SKIN IS AT RISK ALL YEAR ROUND

Snow can reflect the sun’s UV rays by up to 88%, this combined with a higher altitude can make winter sun every bit as damaging on the slopes as it is on the beach!

Even on cloudy days, winter sports enthusiasts are at greater risk of skin damage – this is because up to 80% of the sun’s harmful UV rays can penetrate cloud cover. It is also important to understand that both snow and strong winds can wear away any sunscreen protection used and thereby reduce its effectiveness, so it is particularly important to actively reapply at least every 2 hours.
