Mineral Sunscreens for Winter Sport

Winter sun can be sneaky. Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean the sun isn’t doing its damage. Many people think sunscreen is only for summer—but UVA rays, which cause wrinkles, premature aging, and even skin cancer, are just as strong in winter.

At KINeSYS, we’re here to remind you: sun protection isn’t seasonal, and for anyone who loves winter sports like skiing and snowboarding, it’s even more crucial.

Why Winter Sunscreen is a Must

Even on cloudy or cold days, your skin is still exposed to UV rays. For winter sports lovers, the risk increases:

• High altitudes mean stronger UV exposure.

• Snow reflects up to 90% of UV rays, doubling your exposure.

• Every 1,000 feet climbed adds 4-5% more UV exposure.

So yes—snow can give you a sunburn, even when it’s freezing outside!

Daily Sun Protection Matters

Sunscreen isn’t just for slopes and ski trips. Whether it’s a quick walk to the café or a full day on the mountain, UV rays can damage your skin in minutes.

Even cloudy days don’t provide a break. Daily sunscreen should be part of your routine, year-round.

Best Sunscreens for Snow Sports

When it comes to winter activities, you need broad-spectrum, mineral sunscreen that stays put in cold, windy conditions. That’s where solid sticks shine—they’re super convenient to carry in your pocket, easy to apply on-the-go, and mess-free.

How to Apply Sunscreen for Winter Sports

1. Apply 20 minutes before going outside to give sunscreen time to absorb.

2. Cover all exposed skin, including lips, nose, ears, and hands.

3. Reapply every 2 hours, or more often if you’re sweating or wiping your face.
