Discovering the Magic of Korean Sunscreens:
A Personal Journey
Hey there, fellow skincare enthusiasts! Today, I want to share with you my personal journey in search of the perfect sunscreen and how I stumbled upon the magic of Korean sunscreens.
Before delving into the world of Korean skincare, I had tried my fair share of sunscreens from various brands and countries. However, none seemed to tick all the boxes for me. Some left an unsightly white cast, others felt sticky and uncomfortable, and very few provided the natural skin tone I desired. Determined to find a solution, I began my quest for a sunscreen that would offer a natural finish, no white cast, and keep my skin moisturized.
During my research, I stumbled upon several Korean brands that seemed promising. I decided to give them a try, and boy, was I pleasantly surprised!
First up was the 3W Clinic Sunblock, which offered satisfactory results. Next, I tried the Missha Aqua Sun, which blew me away with its lightweight texture and excellent moisturization. Then came the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen, which left my skin with a radiant, shiny glow, completely non-sticky, and gave it a glassy appearance with daily use.
But the real game-changer for me was the Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Moist Sun Serum. This gem was specially formulated for summer, making it perfect for those scorching hot days. It kept my dry skin hydrated and protected even during long hours outdoors and sweating, leaving me worry-free about sun damage.
After trying out 3-4 different Korean sunscreens, I can confidently say that they all passed the test with flying colors. So, if you’re on the lookout for a sunscreen that not only protects your skin from harmful UV rays but also feels lightweight, moisturizing, and gentle, then look no further than Korean sunscreens.
What sets Korean sunscreens apart is their formulation. Most of them contain primary UV filters like oxybenzone, avobenzone, and octinoxate, which not only provide effective sun protection but also leave your skin feeling hydrated and moisturized, perfect for daily use.
In conclusion, Korean sunscreens are a skincare game-changer. They keep your skin safe from the sun’s rays while feeling light and non-greasy. With ingredients like aloe vera and centella asiatica, they soothe and hydrate your skin, making them suitable even for sensitive skin types. Plus, with a wide variety of options available, you’re sure to find the perfect sunscreen for your skin. Trust me, give them a try, and you won’t be disappointed!
Until next time, glow on!
IMPORTANCE OF A PERFECT SUNSCREEN 2024
If you were to ask me about my dream in today’s world, it’s simple: I dream of having smooth, glassy, and flawless skin like those mesmerizing Korean beauties. We’re all pretty obsessed with their stunning looks, right? And to achieve that Korean beauty, it’s all about following a perfect skincare routine. But where to start? Well, I’d suggest beginning with something basic yet crucial: sunscreen. A good sunscreen not only protects your skin but also saves it from the harmful UVA and UVB rays. These rays can really mess up our skin, so it’s super important to shield ourselves from them.
LET’S GET TO KNOW ABOUT SPF (sun protection factor)
SPF ( sun protection factor ) plays the most vital role in a sunscreen. Before you buy a sunscreen you must know about the SPF.
SPF, or Sun Protection Factor, is basically a way to measure how good a sunscreen is at shielding your skin from the sun’s harmful UVB rays. These are the rays that can cause sunburn and even skin cancer. The SPF number tells you how much longer you can stay in the sun without burning compared to not wearing sunscreen at all. So, if you usually burn after 10 minutes in the sun, SPF 30 sunscreen could protect you for around 300 minutes. But remember, no sunscreen is perfect, so you gotta reapply it often, especially after swimming or sweating.
DIFFERENT TYPE OF SPF AND HOW THEY WORK
Sunscreens come with different SPF (Sun Protection Factor) levels, like SPF 15, SPF 30, SPF 50, and even higher. The SPF number indicates how well the sunscreen can protect your skin from UVB rays, which are the ones that cause sunburn and contribute to skin cancer.
Here’s how they work:
1. SPF 15: This blocks about 93% of UVB rays. It’s a good option for everyday activities with minimal sun exposure.
2. SPF 30: This blocks about 97% of UVB rays. It’s a popular choice for daily wear and offers better protection than SPF 15.
3. SPF 50: This blocks about 98% of UVB rays. It’s great for prolonged sun exposure, especially during outdoor activities like beach days or hiking.
4. Higher SPFs: Some sunscreens offer SPF 50+ or even SPF 100. These provide the highest level of protection and are ideal for people with very fair or sensitive skin, or those spending extended periods in intense sunlight.
5. PA+: Indicates low UVA protection. PA++: Signifies moderate UVA protection. PA+++: Denotes high UVA protection. PA++++: Represents extremely high UVA protection.
KOERAN SUNSCREEN FOR ALL SKIN TYPE:
1. Clear filter sun essence
2. Beauty of Johnson ginseng moist sun serum
3. Haruharu wonder
4. Purito daily soft touch sun cream
5. Anua heartleaf silky moisture sun cream

Navigating Your Skincare Journey: Tips for Beginners
When I first embarked on my skincare journey as a beginner, I was filled with a mix of fear and confusion. I didn’t know which products to use or how they would react on my skin. If you’re feeling the same way, I totally get it. That’s why I’m here to share some solutions based on my own experience.
If you’re unsure about your skin type and find yourself overwhelmed by the endless options out there, don’t worry. I suggest starting with products that are suitable for all skin types. This way, you can test them out and see how your skin reacts. Once you feel comfortable, you can then do your own research and tailor your skincare routine to your specific needs.
This advice is especially helpful for my fellow beginners who are just starting out on their skincare journey. Our skin is precious, and we all want what’s best for it. But it’s important to remember that everyone’s skin is different, so what works for me may not work for you. It’s all about trial and error, and learning what works best for your own skin through experience.
And speaking of experience, it’s crucial to understand that skincare is a personal journey. While I can offer suggestions based on my own experiences, it’s ultimately up to you to find what works best for you. Remember, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to skincare.
Oh, and one more thing: when choosing a sunscreen, consider how long your skin can resist sun exposure. This will help you determine the appropriate SPF for your sunscreen and ensure that your skin stays protected from harmful UV rays.
In conclusion, navigating the world of skincare as a beginner can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. Start with products that are suitable for all skin types, listen to your skin’s feedback, and trust your own experience. And above all, enjoy the journey of discovering what works best for you and your skin.
Until next time, happy skincare exploring!
