Can I skip sunscreen on cloudy days?

No. Up to 80% of UV radiation penetrates cloud cover, meaning you can still experience significant sun damage on overcast days. UVA rays which cause premature aging and contribute to skin cancer are especially consistent regardless of cloud coverage. Dermatologists recommend wearing at least SPF 30 every day you will be outdoors for more than 15 minutes, regardless of weather conditions.
