Sun exposure aka ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the number one cause of skin cancer.
But did you know?
☀️ UV light from tanning beds is just as harmful.
🌄 In the PNW vitamin D deficiencies are very common and largely underdiagnosed. This deficiency is a common problem here due to the inability of UVB rays to reach your skin during fall and winter months as the sun is too low in the sky during these seasons in the PNW.
🌦 UV radiation can still pe*****te through thin clouds, so you can still get high levels of UV at ground level on overcast days. In fact, patchy clouds can intensify UV levels because radiation is reflected off the clouds' edge.
❄️Exposure to sunlight during the winter months puts you at the same risk as exposure during the summertime.
