UVA Rays:These rays are present throughout the year and can penetrate the skin more deeply
UVB Rays:UVB rays are responsible for causing sunburn and can contribute to the development of skin cancers
Outdoor Activities: Engaging in outdoor activities, such as skiing or snowboarding, increases your exposure to UV rays
Lack of Sunscreen Use: People tend to be less diligent about using sunscreen during the winter months, as they may associate sun protection with warmer weather
Protective Clothing:Wear clothing that covers your skin, including long sleeves, pants, and a wide-brimmed hat
Sunglasses: Protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays
Seek Shade:When the sun is strongest (usually between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.), try to stay in the shade as much as possible
