Yes…..Most of us associate the summer sun for sunburns. But you can get severe sunburns during the winter months too. On a cloudy day 86% of the sun’s rays can penetrate through to the ground. The suns rays burn you not the heat. The worst sunburns happen when you least expect them.
UV rays (ultraviolet radiation) are produced by the sun. This is what changes our skin color. As a result this creates a tan, or a burn on skin. Long term overexposure can case different kind of skin cancer.
There are two types of UV rays to be aware of:
UVB ray exposure is the cause of the immediate change in skin color. Depending on the degree of exposure, we either get a tan or a burn.
UVA ray exposure penetrates deep into the skin. These rays are a product not just of direct sun but of all natural light, capable of reaching the skin through glass, clouds and smog. These are the rays that can be found in tanning beds.
It is best to protect yourself if your going to spend any time in the sun. what you can do is be proactive and preventative? You should apply sunscreen generously and not just on sunny days, but EVERY day. You could also expose the lest amount of skin as possible. If you’re going to work outside be sure to cover up and wear a proper hat.
