4 winter myths ... debunked.

The truth: It’s not the cold itself—it’s the conditions that come with it.

2 - Myth #2: Going outside with wet hair will make you sick

The truth: It may make you cold, but it won’t cause an infection.

3 - Myth #3: You don’t need sunscreen in winter

The truth: Sunscreen is a year-round essential—especially in Florida.

4 - Myth #4: Cranking up the heat helps prevent illness

The truth: A warm home is cozy—but not a cure.
