What is Sun Protection?

Daily sunscreen application and reapplication to prevent aging and pigmentation

SPF 30+ and PA++ or higher recommended, with reapplication every 2-3 hours being ideal.

Key characteristics

Sun-protection care is daily care that helps reduce the burden of photoaging and pigmentation by blocking the UVA and UVB that reach the skin. UVB causes burns and erythema in the epidermis, while UVA penetrates to the dermis and is involved in loss of elasticity and pigment changes. SPF indicates the degree of UVB protection and PA the degree of UVA protection.

How to manage

Applying a generous amount of SPF 30 / PA++ or higher 15–20 minutes before going out is generally recommended. On days with lots of outdoor activity or sweat and water exposure, reapplying every 2–3 hours is advisable. Because UVA passes through even on cloudy days and by indoor windows, the habit of applying it daily helps.

Good to know alongside

It is closely related to photoaging, pigmentation, and melasma, and it is the step that forms the foundation of anti-aging and brightening care. It is good to choose between inorganic and organic formulas to match your skin type.

Everyday care tips

You need to apply the recommended amount (about two finger-lengths) to the whole face to get close to the labeled protection figures. Don't forget easily missed areas such as the neck, ears, and backs of the hands.
