With the summer leaving and winter coming up shortly, most people won't be thinking of skin cancer, or putting sun protection on exposed skin. This is an incorrect idea, and if you are active outside, you should be aware that the sun will still be able to damage even though the day seems cold.
There have been many times when I have come home from skiing with a red face, only to develop into a full fledged burn by the next morning. This is mainly due to the reflection off the snow, and of course the fact that while you are outside, the cold makes you forget that the sun can be burning you as you play. I learned the hard way to bring sun screen with me in the car.
