Build a routineSunscreen is the step that protects everything else in your routine. Daily use helps prevent sunburn and the visible signs of sun exposure, such as dark spots and fine lines.
Korean sunscreens are known for lightweight, comfortable textures, from watery gels and fluid serums to soft creams, that sit well under makeup and rarely leave a heavy finish.
Important for Canadian buyers: in Canada, sunscreens are regulated as drugs or natural health products. Some Korean sunscreens sold online may not be authorized for sale in Canada. When buying in Canada, check that the product sold to you is labelled for the Canadian market with a DIN or NPN. SPF ratings and formulas can differ by country, so check the label.
The best sunscreen is the one you enjoy wearing every day. If a formula feels greasy, pills under makeup or stings your eyes, try a different texture rather than skipping the step. Remember that UV reaches the skin on cloudy days and through car windows, and that snow reflects sunlight, which matters during Canadian winters and ski trips.
