Its winter, are you using yor SPF?

Yes that is correct, you should be wearing your SPF year round.  This is Myth #3 ON THE SELF MAGAZINE LIST OF WINTER TIPS.

MYTH# 3   IT’S FINE TO SLACK OFF ON SUNSCREEN IN WNTER, WHEN THE SUN ISN’T AS STRONG.WRONG!

The sun’s rays are just as insidious when the mercury drops. True, UVB rays are weaker this time of year, but that doesn’t mean you get a pass on protecting yourself. That’s because the glare from snow, buildings and even sidewalks can make shorter-wave UVB rays (the ones that burn) up to 80 percent more intense. Meanwhile, UVAs—which cause wrinkles and skin cancer—remain constant year-round. “When you go outdoors on a rainy, wintry day, you still acquire the same amount of UVA damage that you would on a sunny beach in July,” says Jeannette Graf, M.D., a dermatologist in Great Neck, New York. The bottom line: It’s best to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day of the year, wherever you live.
