Is Florida sun bad for your skin?

All sun is bad for the skin. The skin should always be protected by sunscreen. The two ingredients to look for in sunscreen are Titanium Dioxide and/ or Zinc Oxide. Being in South Florida and enjoying the weather year-round makes it especially important to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun. Cloudy and rainy days can be dangerous because they give a false sense of protection. Harmful UV rays pass through clouds and rain. Some clouds can even intensify the UV rays with a process called "scattering".  While living in South Florida has many benefits, it also has the down side of year-round sun damage. Sun protective clothing, hats and sunscreen are a must in South Florida.​​​​​​​
