Do You Need Sunscreen on Rainy or Cloudy Days? (Short Answer: YES)

You woke up to grey skies and a steady drizzle. No sun in sight. Do you really need to wear sunscreen today? The short answer is: YES. The long answer? Let’s break it down.

Cloudy Skies, Still Dangerous Rays

Just because you can't see the sun doesn't mean your skin is safe. Up to 80% of UV rays still make it through cloud cover. That means on rainy or overcast days, your skin is still exposed to the same rays responsible for:

  • Premature aging (wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging)
  • Dark spots and hyperpigmentation
  • Skin sensitivity and redness
  • Long-term skin damage and risk of skin cancer

Even at nighttime, if you’re exposed to screens, especially if you’re on night shifts, your skin still needs protection. So unless you’re away from sun and screens, maybe living in a cave, daily skin defense is a must, rain or shine.

Why SkinGenie’s Hybrid Sunscreen Stands Out:

  • Cloud-friendly & commute-ready: Works whether it’s gloomy or sunny
  • No white cast, no sticky feel—just a smooth, fresh finish
  • Powered by Niacinamide, Probiotics, and Pentavitin to hydrate, calm, and strengthen your skin barrier
  • Hybrid formula that combines the best of chemical + physical filters
  • Lightweight enough for humid days, gentle enough for sensitive skin
  • Effortless to reapply even over makeup

Bottom Line? Even on the darkest, rainiest days—your skin still needs protection.  Make it easy. Make it hybrid.  Make SkinGenie your everyday essential.
