Yes, you still need sunscreen in the winter

Winter is coming. And yet, my advice remains the same: you should still wear your sunscreen. If there is one part of my skincare regimen that I can’t do without, it is definitely SPF. Year round. And if you’re serious about improving your skin, you should be doing the same.

It is so easy to remember sunscreen in the summer because it is so hot. That heat is a reminder that you can get sunburned. But don’t let the colder weather fool you. The sun’s rays are still strong. There is still UV radiation coming through, even on the cloudy days. And if you are in an area that gets a lot of snow or ice, the UV rays could reflect off those surfaces and amplify the effects.

So, even though it’s getting repetitive at this point, I want to remind you to make sure you keep your facial sunscreen in your everyday skin care routine.

What is one thing you can’t live without?
