UV rays can accelerate skin aging even on cloudy days

 

Now that winter has rolled around, you may have packed away the sunscreen along with your swimsuit and flip flops. However, the sun's rays can be even more powerful during the chilly months, as light tends to reflect off of snow.

Even in the absence of snow, an estimated 80 percent of the sun's rays can reach through the clouds and straight to your face and neck, where they create saggy jowls and crow's feet.

As a result, it's important to remember sun protection during cold weather.

This gives you a good excuse to break out that fabulous pair of sunglasses you thought were only appropriate for summertime. Additionally, brimmed hats do a great job of protecting your face from the sun.

And of course, using sunblock is the best way to keep skin looking glowing and youthful.

Keeping saggy jowls and sun spots at bay is an accumulation of efforts, from using the best neck creams to diligently keeping the epidermis protected from UV rays.
