Do you need to wear sunscreen when it’s cloudy?

lacrymosemedia.com – It is currently raining in different areas. Even when it is not raining, the weather is often cloudy. Many people think that if the weather is cloudy and the sun is not visible, the facial skin does not need to use sunscreen or sunscreen.

As you know, this sunscreen is used to protect the skin from the effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV or “ultraviolet” rays are harmful rays from the sun.

How harmful are UV rays to the skin? This is dangerous because exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major risk factor for most skin cancers.

Sunlight is the main source of UV rays, but tanning lamps are also a source of UV rays. People who are exposed to a lot of UV rays from these sources have a higher risk of developing skin cancer.

So if it’s rainy season or cloudy weather, should you still use sunscreen? Because the sun is not visible. In fact, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, clouds block more than 20 percent of UV rays, so on cloudy or overcast days, you still have a chance of getting up to 80 percent of the sun’s effects.

Some sources even say cloudy weather is a higher risk because UV rays can reflect off clouds.

Another fact is that even if you’re out in the snow, your risk of getting sunburned may be higher than usual.

Why is that? This is because ice and snow can reflect UV rays and actually amplify them. In fact, glossy or not, an SPF cream should still be used as a sunscreen with a minimum SPF value of 30. (okezone.com)
