With warmer days on the horizon, you’re likely to be looking forward to losing the mid layer and getting some much-needed sun on your skin when you hit the hiking trail or head out for a run. After so many months of covering up with fleece jackets and long hiking pants, it can be easy to forget about sun protection on those first few outings, but it’s crucial to protect your skin from damage.
Even if it’s still cold where you are, remember that you can get sunburn at any time of year and lots of the terrain that you like to adventure on or near – such as water and snow – reflect the sun’s UV rays, making them even more harmful to your skin and eyes.
