Can you get sunburn in January?
Can you get sunburn in January? It's all about the elements around you. Snow, ice, and altitude—on top of the sun's rays shining through cold and cloudy skies—can all put your skin at increased risk. While UVB rays aren't as strong as in the summer, they're still a cause for concern in the colder months.
Can you tan in January?
The UV rays have to filter through more atmosphere and their effect on your skin is lower in the winter months, because the Sun is at a shallower angle. Tanning naturally during the winter may be a better thing, because the rays are less harmful.
