Sunscreen: why wearing it even in winter could be a good idea

This means that in both summer and winter, we are exposed to infrared radiation, as well as UVA and UVB rays.

Key Points:

This means that in both summer and winter, we are exposed to infrared radiation, as well as UVA and UVB rays.
UVB is mainly responsible for sunburn and DNA damage – and can also cause skin cancers as a result of long-term exposure.
But in higher latitudes, such as London, there’s almost no UVB radiation throughout the winter months – whereas there’s still some UVA radiation.
This is also true of UVB exposure – although it is less relevant in winter months at higher latitudes.
Numerous studies have shown regular sunscreen use over many years is effective at preventing skin damage, photoaging and skin cancers.

The effects of altitude and snow

Both altitude and snow can increase the doses of UVA and UVB radiation a person receives.
Snow can reflect up to 80% of UV radiation emitted by the Sun – effectively almost doubling the doses received.

Sunscreens are generally regarded as safe and tend to have few adverse effects, so you don’t need to worry too much about wearing one throughout the year.
For example, sunscreen can exacerbate acne and cause irritation and allergic reactions – although these are rare.
However, the consequences of such absorption and the potential affects on health are not well defined and require more research.
