1. Use a sunscreen

Monsoon is one such season that requires you to use an adequate amount of sunscreen lotion to stay healthy and a naturally glowing flawless skin. Because the weather is cloudy outside, you might think of skipping sunscreen. But no, this isn’t a good decision on your part. You have to be extra careful this season as sunscreen works as a cover sheath against harmful UV rays. The harmful sun rays wreak and cause havoc to your skin. To solve this problem, you must use gel-based sun-resistant sunscreen before going out.
