![]() Thankfully Korean sunscreens are a gem when it comes to caring for the skin and protecting it at the same time. ![]() ![]() Sunscreen for dry skinĭry skin is known for producing too little oils, that’s why moisturizing ingredients are your best friend. A hydrating sun stick, like the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Airy Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++ is a great option for touch-ups throughout the day without the heaviness. One of our favorites it the Purito Daily Soft Touch Sunscreen. Despite the dryness, combination skin also has to watch out for pore-clogging ingredients, so opt for a non-comedogenic Korean sunscreen. Hyaluronic acid, glycerin,and squalane are some amazing hydrating ingredients to be on the lookout for. A lightweight, yet moisturizing sunscreen is a great go-to for these skin types. Sunscreen for combination skinĬombination types struggle with both oily and dry areas. Our go-to's for oily skin are the iUNIK Centella Calming Daily Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ and Tocobo Cotton Soft Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++. ![]() Korean sunscreens also have amazing moisturizing benefits, minimizing the amount of skincare products needed to take care of your skin during the hot weather. Look for a lightweight, non-comedogenic, and oil-free sunscreen that won’t clog the pores. Niacinamide is the perfect ingredient to opt for in your sunscreen since it minimizes redness, balances sebum production, and improves skin texture. The struggle of balancing your sebum production gets real when the summer months hit and the weather gets hotter. Sunscreen for oily skinĪ lightweight sunscreen is essential for oily and acne-prone skin types. That’s why we have created a little sunscreen guide with some of the best Korean sunscreens for every skin type. However, with so many different types of sunscreen on the market it can be challenging to know which one to choose. Our hearts were stolen by Korean sunscreens a long time ago, with high-quality ingredients and innovative formulas, we can confidently say that we prefer Korean sunscreens to Western brands. While it’s important to wear sunscreen year round, no matter the weather, with the sun coming out more people are searching for the right sunscreen for their skin. This process can cause irritation if you have sensitive skin, but does make the product much easier to apply and more comfortable to wear.The warmer months have arrived so it’s time to transform your skincare routine just like the sun rays are transforming our mood for the better. Chemical sunscreens, on the other hand, are formulated with ingredients such as oxybenzone and avobenzone, which absorb UV rays and convert them into heat. These ingredients sit on top of skin and form a barrier to reflect UV rays, which means they can leave a white residue and feel chalky but are better suited to sensitive skin. Physical sunscreens use zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to protect skin. It’s also important to avoid formulas that are designed to be used on the body as these are typically too thick and heavy in texture for breakout-prone skin.Īnother important thing to consider when comparing formulas is whether the SPF used is physical or chemical. The texture of the product is important to consider too – serums, gels, sprays, and light lotions will probably feel lighter, absorb faster, and be less greasy – ultimately, they will be more suited to your skin than thicker cream formulations. This isn’t a guarantee that it won’t cause breakouts but it’s much less likely to contribute to the congestion that leads to spots forming. Look out for formulas that are labelled as ‘oil-free’ or ‘non-comedogenic’, which means it’s been proven not to clog pores. When it comes to choosing a sunscreen for breakout-prone skin, you’re right, it’s not quite so simple as picking the first one you see. Additionally, if you’re using active ingredients like acids or retinol to target your acne, these can increase your skin’s sensitivity to UV, making SPF use (and regular reapplication!) even more important. Wearing sunscreen when you have acne is still super vital, not only for protection, but because the inflammation caused by UV rays triggers inflammation – so can make breakouts worse and increase the potential of developing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. ![]() Nowadays there are multiple types of formulas and product types which are much more suited to skin that’s prone to breakouts! Fortunately, modern SPFs have come a long way from the greasy, pore-clogging, highly-fragranced formulas that previously dominated the market. Having lived with acne myself, I totally understand where your dislike of sunscreens comes from. ![]()
