Since I live in a cold weather state, I rarely wear sunscreen. But with this heat wave, it seems like the sun is stronger. Should I be wearing sunscreen in these hot months?
Absolutely! You actually should wear sunscreen all year round if you get sun exposure. Even if it is cold out, or even cloudy, you are still getting exposure to the sun’s damaging UV rays. You should use a sunscreen with a SPF factor of at least 15 to all sun exposed body parts. In the summer, when you may be sweating, or even going in the pool, it is important to re-apply the sunscreen on a regular basis.
