Frequently Asked Questions
Why is sunscreen important during the monsoon season?
Even with cloudy skies, invisible UV rays still penetrate and can cause tanning, pigmentation, and long-term skin damage. Humid weather does not reduce your UV exposure.
Do clouds effectively block harmful UV rays?
No, up to 80 percent of UV rays can still pass through clouds. UVA rays, which contribute to pigmentation and aging, remain active throughout the year.
What kind of sunscreen is best for humid monsoon weather?
Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and PA+++/++++ protection. Lightweight gel, fluid, or matte-finish formulas, ideally water-resistant, are recommended.
How should I properly apply sunscreen to my face and neck?
Start with a clean face, and for adequate coverage, apply roughly one teaspoon of sunscreen, often referred to as the two-finger rule. Remember to cover other exposed areas like ears and hands.
