WINTER SUN PROTECTION: YES, YOU REALLY NEED IT!

Dr. Elena Lucchi, Head of Nutritional Supplements

Many people think sunscreen is only necessary in summer—when the sun is high and skin visibly burns. In reality, even during the colder months, UV rays still reach your skin and can cause invisible but deep damage.
That’s why it’s important to wear sunscreen even in winter—every day, not just at the beach or in the mountains.

Why Protect Your Skin from the Sun in Winter?

In winter, even if we don’t notice it, we are constantly exposed to UVA rays, which are responsible for:

• premature skin aging

• loss of elasticity

• the appearance of dark spots

☀️ UVB rays, which cause sunburn, are less intense in cold months.
🌤️ But UVA rays—deeper and more insidious—pass through clouds and glass, and are present all year round, even when the sky is overcast or indoors.

Who Should Wear Sunscreen in Winter?

The answer is: everyone!

Whether your skin is light or dark, young or mature, daily sun protection is the most effective anti-aging step.
It’s especially important for those who:

• live in cities, exposed to smog and reflected light

• work near windows or in front of digital screens (blue light exposure)

• have sensitive skin or are prone to pigmentation

• practice winter sports (snow and altitude increase solar reflection)

Which Sunscreen to Choose in Winter?

In winter, go for lightweight yet effective formulas with broad-spectrum protection (UVA + UVB).
The best options are those that:

• contain physical filters like zinc oxide—safe and gentle

• are enriched with antioxidants (vitamin E, polyphenols)

• provide hydration, thanks to ingredients like hyaluronic acid

• easily fit into your daily skincare routine without a heavy or greasy feel

SPF in Winter: The Beauty Habit That Makes a Difference
