Summary


Slathering your face and body with waterproof sunscreen this monsoon is the key to keeping your skin hydrated. Not wearing sunscreen regularly leads to tanning and permanent damage to your skin, such as signs of ageing, wrinkles, and dark spots. Therefore, you must consider investing in the best sunscreens.



Buyer's Guide To Sunscreen Lotions


Should we use sunscreen in monsoon season?

Yes, it is important as clouds do not offer protection from UV rays. Therefore, it is important to apply sunscreens even during the monsoon season to protect yourself from damage caused by exposure to UV rays.


Is UV exposure high even in the monsoons?

Just because you can't feel the sun rays on your skin, it doesn't mean you're not at risk of UV exposure. It is important to wear waterproof sunscreens with high SPF year-round.


Should I wear sunscreen indoors?

Yes, especially if you are around windows. Most panes of glass absorb about 97% of the sun's UVB rays—the ones that cause sunburns and some skin cancer, and 37% less-harmful UVA radiation. Therefore, you should consider wearing sunscreen lotions indoors as well.
