Protect the skin with lipid enriched sunscreen in Winter

---

For wintersportsmen it is necessary to protect their skin against the cold and UV-Light with an additional lipid enriched sunscreen. The products used in the summer which are based on water in oil-emulsions or gel are not sufficient enough in the winter, explained the consumer portal www.haut.de.

Not only UV-radiation is much higher in the mountains, but  also strong winds and the ice cold temperatures makes it hard for uncovered body parts like neck and hands.

When applying sunscreen, especially the so called "sun terraces" of the face such as nose, ears and a lower lip should not be forgotten.  (dpa)
