Regardless of whether you are traveling in summer or winter, ensure that you are prepared with both eye and skin protection from the sun. If you are traveling abroad, be conscious of the fact that you could find yourself in a country with more fierce UV rays that you are accustomed to at home. Be proactive in protecting your health.
Winter travel is especially very dangerous. In icy and snowy territory, you are likely to be affected twice as much with UV rays. As such, getting sunburnt in the snow is very easy. This is because light surfaces like snow reflect UV. As for snow, it reflects at least 80 percent of UV rays. This implies that you are hit by the same rays twice.
To counter this, wear sunglasses or goggles that provide at least 99 percent protection against UV. As for your skin, carry with you waterproof sunscreens of at least SPF 30 (with multi-spectrum or broad-spectrum protection for both UVA and UVB rays).
