Korean sunscreen goes beyond the basics to care for skin on top of protecting it. Whether you’re preventing future or further skin damage, SPF is the last (essential!) step in your morning skincare routine. Rain or shine, summer or winter, you should be applying sunscreen every day. So, since it’s a staple in your routine, why not opt for a Korean sunscreen that prioritizes skincare benefits on top of sun protection?
Korean Sunscreen 101
Let’s start simple. Have you ever wondered what’s the difference between sunscreen and sunblock? The terms are often used interchangeably, but they essentially refer to the same thing—products that protect your skin from the sun. What really matters is understanding the different types of UV rays. UVB rays are what cause skin to burn, while UVA rays can lead to aging skin and wrinkles. When choosing sun protection, look for “broad-spectrum” coverage to shield your skin from both.
A good sunscreen doesn’t just protect from sun damage, it can also help future-proof your skin against signs of aging. Korean sunscreen goes even further by combining sun protection with skincare benefits. When used daily, it can help prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while also nourishing skin. Our Daily UV Defense Sunscreen and Daily UV Defense Mineral Sunscreen both hydrate skin and more while defending your glow.
Chemical Sunscreen vs. Mineral Sunscreen
How to Apply Korean Face Sunscreen
Sunscreen should come after moisturizer and be the last step in your skincare routine. Just squeeze out a generous amount, then spread evenly onto your face (don’t forget your neck + ears!) and gently pat in for better absorption. Be sure to reapply every 2 hours for long-lasting sun protection.
The best sunscreen for under makeup is one that sits smoothly and doesn’t pill on the skin. If you wear makeup, you’ll love both our chemical and mineral formulas. It’s easy to make SPF a habit when it applies effortlessly and sits seamlessly on skin.
Sunscreen That Doubles as Skincare
Korean sunscreen is more than SPF, it’s also skincare! Our Daily UV Defense Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 36 is your skin protector and glow defender—packed with skin-loving ingredients that take our SPF to the next level. Green Tea delivers deep hydration, Sunflower Seed Oil nourishes, and Cica soothes and calms skin.
SPF for sensitive skin can be tricky to find, but the good news is that our Daily UV Defense Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 45 is gentle and safe for sensitive skin. When choosing between our SPFs, it helps to consider that our chemical formula has an invisible finish while our mineral formula has a green tint that visibly neutralizes redness. Whichever you choose, your skin’s glow will be well-defended.
