As soon as it starts raining, our hands automatically grab our umbrellas and raincoats but what about our SPF? We all believe that cloudy weather means no sun protection. But here’s the thing - the sun's UV rays don't get a holiday in the monsoon. Actually, they're subtly causing harm while we live our lives, believing we are protected. Whether you are going to office or simply strolling towards your vehicle on a rainy day, SPF still needs to be your daily friend even on rainy days.
1. Just Because It's Cloudy Doesn't Mean UV Rays Take a Break
Even on cloudy days, UV rays can harm you by penetrating the clouds very easily. Research has highlighted the fact that nearly 80% of UV radiation penetrates your skin even on rainy days. Therefore, even though the sun may not be visible to you, your skin remains prone to damage. SPF is your quiet protector whether or not you see the sun shining.
2. Humidity and SPF: A Match You Didn't Know You Needed
Yes, monsoons do make your skin oily and air humid but that's no reason to miss out on SPF. Modern Day SPF comes in light, non-greasy forms such as gels, mattes, and water-based moisturizers. These not only refresh your skin but also doesn't clog pores. Hence they can be considered as your rain-friendly, skin-friendly must-have.
3. Say Goodbye to Dull and Patchy Skin
Rainy weather is not always what it seems. The mixture of humidity, pollution, and hidden sun exposure in the atmosphere tends to make your skin patchy, and uneven. Application of SPF every day protects your skin from tanning and pigmentation, and keeps your skin tone even. It's a small step but it makes a big difference.
4. Protection Beyond the Face
We mostly just apply SPF on our face but UV rays don't spare any body part! Your neck, arms, ears, and feet (especially if you wear sandals) are all out there. While monsoon time is about eating chai pakodi, don't forget that the rest of your body also needs protection. SPF is not just a product it's your full-body shield.
5. It’s the Habit That Counts
Skin care works best when it becomes a habit. Rain or shine, putting SPF on every day makes long-term protection. Similar to flossing and brushing your teeth, using SPF should become second nature. It serves several purposes as it wards off premature aging, sunburn, and skin issues all for just a few extra seconds in the morning.
