Winter is the season for skiing, snowboarding, snowball fights and other exciting winter sports. Whether they’re on vacation or staying local for the winter break, your more active clients are bound to take advantage of seasonal activities. Unfortunately, many clients spend their time outside in winter without realizing the potential danger they’re putting themselves in. The fact is very few people realize that colder temperatures do not mean that the sun’s harmful rays have gone away. The higher altitudes where activities like skiing and snowboarding take place can have UV rays that are much stronger than those at a lower height. The strength of UV rays increases by 4-5 percent with every 1000 feet above sea level, making the exposure at an alpine level sometimes 35-45 percent higher. This makes applying a medical grade white label skin care sunscreen from your personal line of skincare products essential to their health and safety.
UV Rays and Winter
For the most part, UV ray strength and exposure are at their highest during summer, but their presence is still strong even during cloudy winter days where 80 percent of the sun’s UV rays still reach the ground. Snow on the ground can end up reflecting 80 percent of those rays, making even the most bundled up snow bunny still susceptible to sun exposure while they’re out on the slopes. Without proper protection, a day out in the snow can lead to a serious sunburn on a client’s face even when it’s overcast.
These factors have led to higher risks of squamous cell carcinoma in people that participate in alpine sports. With dermatology experts predicting that one in five Americans will get skin cancer in their lifetimes, preventing UV exposure daily is essential to maintaining a long, healthy life. These risky levels of UVA and UVB exposure during winter, even at a low altitude, make educating clients about medical grade white label sunscreen and its importance during winter essential when advising them about their skincare routine.
