When we think of sunscreen, most of us picture hot summer days, beach vacations, and harsh sunlight. Winters, on the other hand, feel calm, cool, and harmless for the skin. But here’s the truth: UV rays don’t take a winter break. Even when the sun feels gentle, it can still damage your skin, cause tanning, pigmentation, dryness, and speed up ageing.
That’s exactly why sunscreen should be a daily habit, no matter the season. At CIEL, sunscreens are designed not just to protect your skin, but also to care for it. Let’s understand the types of sunscreens available at CIEL and why using them in winters is just as important as in summers.
Why Sunscreen Is a Must in Winters
During the winter, the sun may not burn your skin, but UVA rays are still active. These rays go deep into the skin and are responsible for:
● Premature ageing
● Fine lines and wrinkles
● Uneven skin tone
● Dull and tired-looking skin
Cold weather also makes skin dry and sensitive. When exposed to sunlight without protection, this dryness can turn into irritation, redness, and pigmentation. Using the right sunscreen in winter helps:
● Protect against UVA & UVB rays
● Prevent tanning and sun spots
● Calm sensitive winter skin
● Maintain hydration and glow
Now let’s look at the sunscreens offered by CIEL and how each one works.

How to Use Sunscreen in Winters
Many people apply sunscreen only when stepping out in the sun. In winters, consistency matters even more.
Here’s how to use it right:
1. Apply sunscreen as the last step of your morning skincare routine
2. Use a generous amount on face, neck, and exposed areas
3. Reapply every 3–4 hours if outdoors
4. Don’t skip sunscreen on cloudy or foggy days
Final Thoughts
Sunscreen is not a summer-only product; it’s an everyday essential. Winters may feel gentle, but sun damage happens silently and shows up later as pigmentation, wrinkles, and dull skin.
CIEL’s Cooling Sunblock SPF 50 and Brightening Sunscreen SPF 40 are designed to suit different skin needs while offering strong protection, hydration, and care. Whether your skin needs calming, oil control, or brightening, there’s a CIEL sunscreen that fits perfectly into your winter routine.
