As the summer sun still beckons us to the breathtaking beauty of the mountains, ensuring your skin is well-protected during your unforgettable vacation experience is important. Whether you’re hiking through lush trails, scaling rugged peaks, or simply enjoying the crisp mountain air, one essential companion should always be by your side—sunscreen—and not just any sunscreen, but EVY’s premium sun protection.
Why Sunscreen is a Must in the Mountains
While the mountains offer a refreshing escape, they also present unique challenges for your skin. The atmosphere is thinner at higher altitudes, producing more intense UV radiation. For every 1,000 meters you ascend, UV levels increase by about 10-12%, making your skin more susceptible to sunburn and damage. Additionally, UVA rays, which penetrate deeper into the skin, are more prevalent at higher altitudes, accelerating skin ageing and increasing the risk of hyperpigmentation and skin cancer by up to 50%.
Moreover, the cool mountain air can often deceive us into feeling less at risk of sunburn, as the sun’s rays may not feel as intense as they do at sea level. Snow and rocky surfaces can reflect UV rays, further intensifying exposure by up to 80%. The dry mountain air also decreases the moisture level in your skin by approximately 20%, leading to dryness and irritation.
