During winter, we all crave the warmth of the sun. However, it’s easy to underestimate the impact it’s still having on our skin.
This is especially true in Australia, where we have the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. Queensland alone has a UV index of three or more year-round, meaning even in winter or on cloudy days, you can still damage your skin. Yes, this also includes those cloudy days where 80% of UV radiation penetrates clouds. It’s kinda like that scene in Lord of the Rings: Two Towers where Gandalf arrives at Helm’s Deep, except, instead of angelic lights, it’s radiation that can damage your skin.
