Sun protection is the most basic step in the Korean skincare routine and is never skipped – not even on cloudy days! K-Beauty sunscreens are renowned for their light, non-greasy textures, high UVA/UVB protection and formulation with skincare benefits such as hydration, soothing and antioxidant action.
• What is the difference between physical and chemical sunscreen?
- Physical (inorganic/metallic): They contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide and act by reflecting radiation. They are ideal for sensitive skin.
- Chemical: They absorb radiation and convert it into heat. They have thinner textures and "sit" better under makeup.
Many K-Beauty sunscreens are hybrids (a combination of the two)!
• How often should I reapply my sunscreen?
Every 2 hours, especially if you are outdoors or have sweated. There are also sunscreen mists or powders for easy reapplication over makeup.
• Which sunscreens are suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
Prefer oil-free, non-comedogenic and mattifying Formulas with ingredients like niacinamide or tea tree. K-Beauty gel sunscreens and watery sunscreens are ideal because they absorb quickly and don't leave a "white cast."
