How to Build a Sun-Safe Routine for Year-Round Protection

Most people think of sunscreen as a summer-only product. The truth? UV exposure happens 365 days a year even in the snow, clouds, and cooler months. A year-round routine keeps skin healthy long-term.

Why SPF Is Always Necessary

Up to 80% of UV rays pass through clouds
Snow reflects up to 90% of UV radiation
Daily exposure contributes to premature aging and skin damage

Simple Everyday Routine

Morning: cleanse, moisturize, apply mineral sunscreen
Daytime: reapply every 2 hours outdoors
Evening: after-sun recovery to restore hydration

Seasonal Adjustments

Summer: focus on sweat-proof, water-resistant formulas
Winter: hydrate more to combat dryness
Spring/Fall: consistent SPF for transitional weather

Long-Term Benefits

Prevents fine lines and wrinkles
Reduces risk of sun spots and skin cancer
Keeps skin healthier and stronger over time
