Sunscreens

Start with the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh: Rice + B5 SPF50+/PA++++, the lighter fluid version of Relief Sun made for oily and combination skin: it sinks in quickly with no white cast and no greasy film. For less shine through the day, the celimax Oil Control Light Sunscreen SPF50+/PA++++ keeps excess oil in check and leaves a fresh finish. To reapply over makeup, the Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick: Mugwort + Camelia SPF50+/PA++++ swipes on to a soft-matte finish, and the SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Silky-Fit Sun Stick sets silky matte and holds through sweat.

The Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF50+/PA++++ is made for sensitive skin and keeps it comfortably hydrated with a dewy look. The Anua Heartleaf Silky Moisture Sun Cream SPF50+/PA++++ spreads like a soft moisturizer and keeps sensitive skin calm and comfortable, and the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel SPF50+/PA++++ glides on like a daily moisturizer, with several forms of hyaluronic acid to keep dry skin from feeling tight or flaky. If you prefer a mineral filter, the Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Pure Mineral Relief Daily Sunscreen SPF50+/PA++++ uses non-nano zinc oxide and dries to a satin finish.

Texture, mostly. They are made to be worn every day, so they lean light and non-greasy, with finishes from dewy to fully matte, and they are designed to sit comfortably under makeup. The label also carries a PA rating beside the SPF: it grades UVA protection, and PA++++ is the highest grade printed.

About two finger lengths covers the face and neck, which is more than most people apply at first. Put it on as the last step of your morning routine, after moisturizer and before makeup, and let it settle for a minute. Outdoors, reapply every two hours, and sooner after swimming, sweating or toweling off; a sun stick makes reapplication over makeup easy.
