"You might think I&amp;#039;m crazy writing about sun protection when it&amp;#039;s just about winter. Even in colder climates, like the Northeast where I live, we need to wear facial sun protection year round. Although it&amp;#039;s the more energetic UVB rays that can cause painful and damaging sunburn after a first trip to the beach in summer, the less energetic UVA rays can be absorbed through glass when you&amp;#039;re indoors and contribute to sun-related aging of the skin\u2014all year long. In fact, UVA rays can penetrate deeper layers of skin. That&amp;#039;s why tanning booth lights, which are only in the UVA spectrum, will mostly tan and won&amp;#039;t burn you, can still result in sunspots on your skin. The most important thing when it comes to sunscreen usage is consistency. Researchers from the Department of Dermatology at Boston University Medical Center in collaboration with Procter &amp;amp;amp; Gamble have shown that applying an SPF 15 sunscreen everyday for four days before sun exposure protected against skin damage better than when an SPF 29 product was applied inconsistently (on 3 days but not used for a day in between). The best thing to do: wear a facial moisturizer with an SPF of at least 15. Fortunately, there is a range of tinted moisturizers and liquid make-up with SPF 15. By the way, you should up the SPF protection to 30 and above for your face during summer months or if you are a winter sports person. The sun reflects off the snow and will multiply the effect of the sun exposure. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
