Your Skin in Winter
Sun protection may not be the first thing on your mind once the thermometer drops, but shielding your skin from UV during the coldest months will pay dividends year-round. Read on for The Skin Cancer Foundation’s guide to great winter skin.
Getting Gorgeous (and Sun Safe) with Mineral Makeup
Just what is mineral makeup? If you’ve
opened a fashion magazine, you’ve seen
an ad for these soft, shimmery cosmetics.
Worn either as foundation or setting powder,
mineral makeup gives the skin matte
(no-shine) coverage and a natural-looking
finish. And thanks to the sunscreen ingredients
zinc oxide and/or titanium oxide in
many formulations, mineral makeup can
also supplement sun protection.
Show How Much You Care
Another way to show you care is by making an appointment for a skin exam for a loved one. Skin cancer affects more than one million Americans every year, but most are 100 percent curable when caught early; an annual skin exam is the best way to do that. Our Physician Finder will help you find a dermatologist in your area.

Give your loved ones a gift that will protect them year round.
