While SPF is something you wear year-round, if you’re going to be out in the rain, a water-resistant sunscreen should be the next addition to your skincare kit. During monsoon, the harmful UV rays of the sun find their way through the clouds, leaving the skin vulnerable to damage. Cue water-resistant SPF. These must-buys are formulated in a way that makes them stay effective even when exposed to water and sweat. We round up our top picks for you to choose from this season.
