When we think of sunscreen, we often picture sunny beach days or summer barbecues. However, the importance of wearing SPF doesn’t fade with the sun—especially in winter! Here are some compelling reasons to make sunscreen a part of your cold-weather routine:
1. UV Rays Are Still Present
Even in winter, UV rays can be harmful. In fact, up to 80% of UV rays can reach your skin on cloudy days. Snow can reflect UV rays, increasing exposure by up to 80%. This means that even if it’s cold outside, you’re still at risk of sun damage.
2. Higher Altitudes Increase UV Exposure
If you enjoy skiing or snowboarding, keep in mind that UV exposure increases with altitude. For every 1,000 feet above sea level, UV radiation can increase by about 4%. So, if you’re hitting the slopes, sunscreen is a must!
3. Prevent Skin Damage
UV rays contribute to premature aging, including wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. Consistent use of sunscreen helps protect your skin’s collagen and elasticity, keeping it looking youthful, regardless of the season.
4. Reduce Skin Cancer Risk
Regular use of sunscreen is one of the best ways to protect against skin cancer. It is recommended that we use a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher year-round. It’s a simple step that can significantly lower your risk over time.
5. It’s an Easy Habit to Maintain
By wearing SPF in the winter, you protect your skin from both immediate damage and long-term risks like skin cancer and premature aging. Incorporating SPF into your daily routine is easy! Make it part of your morning skincare routine, and you won’t have to think about it again.

So, which to use? We have you covered (pun intended!!)
Daily DNA Defence SPF 30.
weightless coat of ‘skin’ armour, totally undetectable.
UVA & UVB, blue light & pollution protection
Our ultra-light fluid transforms into an invisible veil. With no oily or white residue.
It’s so much more than a daily SPF…
It’s broad-spectrum protection for your skin (UVA & UVB). It’s blue light neutralising and pollution protection – plus it doubles as an exceptional make-up primer.
You know (and we know) that a daily SPF is a must have… But developing a great product with the perfect texture took much consideration. Why?
Because SPF’s are difficult to wear especially under make-up. We’ve seen our make-up slip off our face by mid-morning too, thanks to a bullet-proof layer of SPF beneath it. We had to tackle this and other pain points associated with daily SPF’s. The end results, a photo-stable (won’t degrade in the sun) SPF30 packed full of active ingredients. To help your skin and your skin cells stay well protected during exposure to the environment.
Blue light is emitted from computers and smart technology, phones and TVs, (blue light ages your skin). This product protects against the formation of pigmentation marks and lines.
Pollution damages your skin too. This product is an invisible coat of armour keeping the ‘good stuff’ in and the ‘bad stuff’ out.
We’ve included active DNA Defence and Repair Enzymes, this ingredient complex defends the DNA of your cells against free radical attacks. Your cells are under threat when you’re exposed to UVA & UVB, blue light and pollution. After exposure the DNA Enzymes kick start your natural repair mechanisms. Your DNA repair increases by 40% in 30 minutes – around 100x faster than your skin could start to repair itself!
Don’t put your SPF away for the winter. An SPF is your skin’s best protection against cold weather. No matter if you’re poolside, deskside or outside – it’s a must have.
