Do I need to apply sunscreen on a cloudy day?

Yes, you should apply sunscreen on a cloudy day. Up to 80% of UV rays can penetrate through clouds, meaning your skin is still at risk of damage. It's important to protect your skin even when the sun isn't shining brightly.

Key points:

• UV rays can reach your skin even on overcast days.
• Clouds do not block all harmful UV radiation.
• Skin can be damaged without direct sunlight.
• Consistent sun protection is essential year-round.
