Sonnenschutz

Sunscreen is the last step of a Korean morning routine, applied after moisturizer and before makeup. Sun creams and watery gels such as Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics, Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Sunscreen, Torriden DIVE-IN Watery Moisture Sun Cream and Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel spread easily over the whole face. Sun serums from Beauty of Joseon, SKIN1004 and TOCOBO have a fluid texture, and sun sticks from Abib, Round Lab, TOCOBO and Torriden are handy for topping up during the day.

Tone-up sunscreens give a brighter-looking base: d'Alba Waterfull Tone-Up Sun Cream, Torriden DIVE IN Purple Tone Up Sunscreen and COSRX Aloe 54.2 Aqua Tone-up Sunscreen. Mineral options include Benton Skin Fit Mineral Sun Cream and haruharu wonder Black Rice Pure Mineral Relief Daily Sunscreen, and BANILA CO and Dr.Ceuracle make waterproof formulas. Many products here are rated SPF50+ PA++++; check each product page for its rating. Wear a moisturizer underneath and remove sunscreen at night with a cleansing oil or balm.
