Snow reflects the sun's rays, so not only are they hitting your skin from above, but they're also bouncing off the snow all around, leading to twice the exposure.
Remember to practice #WinterSunSafety: wear protective clothing, apply sunscreen to all exposed areas, and (don't forget those eyes!) wear sunglasses.

This #UVAwarenessMonth remember sunglasses 🕶️ protect your eyes from UV rays and reduce the risk of cataracts. They also protect the tender skin around your eyes from sun exposure. Sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays offer the best protection ☀️ #PracticeSafeSun #Denver
