Sunscreen experts warn cloudy days still damage skin

Dermatologists warn that skipping sunscreen on cloudy or rainy days is a major skincare mistake. Up to 80 percent of harmful UVA rays still penetrate clouds, leading to skin aging, pigmentation, and cancer risk. Experts stress using broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily, as UV exposure occurs year-round, even indoors near windows and during monsoon weather.
