\"winter<\/a><\/p>\n

Many, even I, long believed that sunscreen was reserved for sunny beaches and summertime fun. Truth is, the sun is can be just as damaging and harmful to your skin in the winter as it is in the summer. Even if the sun isn’t bright and hot on your face, the rays still reach your skin and can even bounce off of the snow around you. The Skin Cancer Foundation reports that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer over their lifetime<\/a>. Winter sun still produces damaging ultraviolet rays that lead to pre-maturely aged skin<\/a>, skin damage, and cancer. Here are some of my favorite sun protection products that I use year-round.<\/p>\n

1. Alba Botanica Facial Sunscreen<\/a><\/h3>\n

This is a great sun block to wear underneath make-up. It doesn’t have the typical heavy, greasy feeling that most sunscreens have and it moisturizes wonderfully. This product is also paraben free and uses no animal products or testing. Aloe vera, chamomile, and green tea make this a great soothing sunscreen for sensitive skin too!<\/p>\n

2. Burt’s Bees Res-Q Lip Balm SPF 15<\/a><\/h3>\n

The delicate skin on your lips is just as prone to sun damage as the rest of your face and body. This lip balm from Burt’s Bees is a great way to protect your lips against the sun. It also helps protect them against wind and cold during the harsh winter months. <\/p>\n

Next >> Lavender Body Sunscreen<\/a>

3. Badger Natural and Organic SPF 30 For Face and Body<\/a><\/h3>\n

Olive oil and jojoba oil combine to make a rich and creamy sunscreen perfect for playing outside in the winter time. This sunscreen also has a great lavender scent, which is nice for a little winter pick me up.\u00a0Wearing a stronger SPF on your body when you’re outside for extended periods of time is essential, even in the winter. I’ve been snowboarding or sledding many times when I’ve become warm enough to be down to just a long sleeve shirt. Sun rays can still find their way through thin layers of clothing so why not slather on some extra protection.<\/p>\n

Even though you bundle up to leave your house this time of year, sunscreen should still be a part of your daily beauty routine. Do you remember to wear your sunscreen during winter? Do you have any favorite sun care products that you like to use? I would love to hear about them, feel free to leave some links and comments. <\/strong><\/p>\n
