Do You Need to Wear Sunscreen in the Winter?

UV rays cause skin aging and they are out all year. You may notice that the sun rays feel “softer” and less intense in the winter, and to some extent they are. The reason being is because the UVB, the summer sunburn rays, are not as prevalent as they are during the summer months. But don’t be fooled, UVA rays are out in full force and they are as strong in winter as it is in the summer, even if you don’t feel it as much.

Retin A vs Retinol

As you age, fine lines and wrinkles begin to form and your skin loses its smoothness and elasticity. Years of sun exposure also cause changes in your complexion. Vitamin A can help prevent and reverse these signs of aging. Two popular forms of Retinoids are Retinol and Retin-A. They're both made from vitamin A and promote faster skin cell turnover, and are some of the most proven, effective, and powerful options for treating skin issues ranging from acne to aging. Many anti-wrinkle and skin rejuvenation products contain retinol. Retinol and retinoic acid are related but distinctly different. Many people confuse Retinol with Retin A, but I am here to give you a clear understanding of the differences.
