When temperatures drop and the days get shorter, we tend to put away our sunscreen until spring. And yet, SPF protection remains essential in winter . Even under cloudy skies, UV rays continue to silently affect the skin, accelerating skin aging, causing dark spots, and damaging the skin's natural barrier.
This is why adopting a daily SPF , even in the middle of January, is one of the most powerful skincare steps to preserve youthful, firm and radiant skin.
UV rays do not disappear in winter.
The cold gives the illusion that the sun is hiding. In reality:
-
UVA rays , responsible for skin aging, remain present all year round, even in grey weather.
-
They penetrate deep into the skin and accelerate oxidative stress, collagen loss and the appearance of wrinkles.
-
Up to 90% of premature aging is caused by UVA rays — and therefore present 12 months a year.
Winter is therefore not a “risk-free” season: it is actually a time when the skin is more fragile, between cold, wind and temperature variations.
A powerful anti-aging step to incorporate into your routine
Protecting your skin with a daily SPF is also an ultra-simple, effective and natural anti-aging habit:
-
Limits the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
-
Prevent hyperpigmentation and spots
-
Protects the skin barrier
-
Preserves the elasticity and radiance of the complexion
Combined with powerful natural active ingredients like Theobromine from cocoa — known to support cell regeneration — SPF becomes a true 2-in-1 treatment : protection + anti-aging.
Which SPF should I choose for winter?
In winter, the primary focus is on skincare:
