Korean Sunscreen
Daily photoprotection is the backbone of any K-Beauty routine. Korean sunscreens stand out for ultra-light textures, high UVA/UVB protection (SPF50+/PA++++), and invisible finishes designed for everyday wear—even under makeup. Explore options for oily, sensitive or dry skin with chemical, mineral and hybrid filters, plus skin-loving actives like niacinamide and centella. Choose an SPF that feels good and keeps you consistent: comfortable, weightless and without white cast. Find your new daily favorite and keep your skin protected, bright and even-toned all year.
How to Use & Reapply Korean Sunscreen
K-Beauty SPF is all about ultra-light textures, broad-spectrum protection and easy reapplication. Master the essentials: prep, dose, apply, reapply, optimize.
1. Prep
AM routine: cleanse → serum → moisturizer. Apply Korean sunscreen as the last step before makeup. Dry skin: dewy textures with hyaluronic acid/ceramides. Oily/acne-prone: soft-matte, “no-sebum” gels.
2. Dose
Face + neck: two-finger rule (≈ 1/3–1/2 tsp). Body (full exposure): one shot glass. Don’t forget ears, hairline, eyelids if tolerated, and sides/back of neck.
3. Apply
Dot across face and neck, then spread gently to an even layer; avoid heavy rubbing to prevent pilling. Let set 1–2 minutes before makeup. Minerals may benefit from a thin second layer for uniform coverage.
4. Reapply
Every 2–3 hours with ongoing exposure; after swimming/sweating as per label (water-resistant formulas help). Over makeup: refresh with SPF sticks, cushions, or mists—press, don’t drag.
5. Optimize
Choose chemical for a second-skin, invisible finish; mineral/hybrid for sensitive needs. Look for SPF50+/PA++++, “no white cast,” and water/sweat resistance when outdoors. Add shade, hats and UPF clothing for extra protection.

FAQs
What makes Korean sunscreens different?
They prioritize ultra-light textures, high UVA/UVB protection (SPF50+/PA++++), and invisible finishes that sit well under makeup. This improves daily adherence—comfortable wear, no heaviness, and minimal white cast—so using SPF every day becomes effortless.
Chemical, mineral or hybrid—how do I choose?
Mineral (physical) filters suit sensitive skin; chemical filters feel ultra-light and “second skin”; hybrids blend both. For zero trace and maximum comfort, chemical is a go-to. If you’re sensitive or post-procedure, mineral or hybrid can be gentler.
How often should I reapply sunscreen?
Generally every 2–3 hours with ongoing exposure. In the city, reapply at midday or before heading back outside. If you sweat or swim, reapply after drying the skin. Mists and sticks help refresh SPF over makeup without disrupting it.
Will it leave a white cast?
Most Korean formulas aim for invisible finishes. Chemical and many hybrid sunscreens melt into the skin; modern mineral textures have also improved. If white cast worries you, pick “no white cast” claims or tone-up options to subtly even tone.
Is it suitable for oily/acne-prone skin?
Yes. Look for gel textures, “no-sebum” or soft-matte finishes and oil-control claims. Avoid heavy occlusives and favor balancing actives (niacinamide, zinc). Remember proper night cleansing (double cleanse) to keep pores clear.
Can I wear it under makeup?
Absolutely. Apply a proper amount (two-finger rule as a simple reference) and let it set 1–2 minutes. Choose textures that play nicely with your base—many Korean SPFs double as a smoothing primer.
