Why Sunscreen is the Most Important Step in the Korean Routine?
Sunscreen is considered the most essential step in the skincare routine in Korea, and it is not just a recommendation but a daily practice deeply rooted in Korean beauty culture. Korean women have understood that sun protection not only prevents immediate damage but is also the key to healthy and youthful skin in the long term. In a country where skin perfection is so valued, sunscreen has become a non-negotiable step to combat premature aging, sunspots, and wrinkles.
Differences between Mineral Sunscreen and Chemical Sunscreen
Mineral Sunscreen:
It uses ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to create a physical barrier that reflects UV rays. It is ideal for sensitive or reactive skin, offering immediate protection and reducing the possibility of irritation.
Physical Sunscreen:
Although similar in concept, it is formulated to soothe and protect, providing a feeling of comfort. This type of sunscreen is perfect for those looking for protection that also cares for the delicacy of the skin.
- Physical (Mineral) Sunscreens
They contain ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which act by forming a barrier on the skin that reflects UV rays.
They are ideal for sensitive skin, pregnant women, or people with rosacea. They provide immediate protection and have a lower risk of causing irritation.
- Chemical Sunscreens
They absorb UV rays and transform them into heat. They use ingredients like Ethylhexyl Triazone or Polysilicone-15.
Its texture is lighter and more transparent, making it perfect for combination to dry skin that seeks a fresher and less visible feel.
