The Skin Cancer Foundation is urging people to continue protecting their skin from harsh UV rays even in the colder temperatures of winter. Even though the prevalence of UVB rays is down (the ones most responsible for sunburns), UVA rays remain constant year round. These UVA rays contribute to skin cancer as well as all the classic signs of aging: sagging, wrinkles, and brown spots. UVA rays are longer and penetrate deeper into the skin and are present even on cloudy days. So, rain or shine, water skiing or snow skiing, or just driving around town, don't forget to wear your sunscreen daily!
