Let's be honest, whenever the sky turns grey and the temperature drops, the first thing you drop from your bag is sunscreen, don’t you? Indian humidity is so intense that you usually stop using greasy sunscreen on rainy days. In the monsoon, you enjoy the rain, but your face deals with sweat and humidity all at once. This can overwhelm your pores, increasing sebum (oil production of skin) and when mixed with dirt, can cause acne breakouts and fungal infections.
Indian humidity, especially in the rainy season, is hard to deal with. Between the constant sweating, sticky air, and excess oil production, skincare often feels like an additional burden during the monsoon.
You don’t want to put something sticky on your face in this monsoon season. It's easy to assume that cloudy skies mean your skin no longer needs sun protection. That's where the sun took advantage while being hidden behind the clouds. The fact is that skipping sunscreen to avoid grease can make your skin even darker and cause dark spots and signs of premature aging. Yes, instead of skipping, choose a non-sticky lightweight sunscreen SPF 50 for the sun protection.
Why Clouds Don't Block UV Rays
Though monsoon clouds seem dark and dense, they are not effective at blocking harmful UV rays, which can still pass through the clouds and reach your skin. These dense clouds may partially block infrared rays but not UV rays. We are easily convinced that less heat means no UV, thus we stop using heavy-weight sunscreen.
The biggest mistake we make during the rainy season is assuming that UV rays can not damage our skin. You've probably come across countless videos and articles emphasizing that sunscreen is a non-negotiable part of skincare. The reason behind this is that up to 80% of UV rays easily penetrate through thick clouds. This can damage your skin barrier, making it dull and increasing signs of aging.
