What do SPF and PA mean?
The protection level of sunscreen is indicated by SPF. SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor and shows how well a product protects the skin from UVB radiation, which is responsible for sunburn.
In many Korean sunscreens you will also see a PA rating, such as PA++ or PA++++. This indicates how well the sunscreen protects the skin against UVA radiation. UVA rays can contribute to skin aging and pigmentation, so choosing a sunscreen with both a high SPF and a high PA rating helps provide better overall protection.
Sunscreen for the face
Although sunscreen can be used on the entire body, the face is often forgotten during application. The face is exposed to sunlight every day, even on cloudy days, which makes sunscreen an important step in your daily routine.
Korean sunscreens are known for their lightweight and comfortable formulas that absorb quickly and do not leave a heavy feeling on the skin. This makes them ideal for everyday use and easy to combine with other skincare products or makeup.

Why use sunscreen every day?
Using sunscreen daily helps protect your skin from UV radiation. Even when the sun does not feel very strong, UV rays can still reach and affect the skin.
Applying sunscreen as the final step of your skincare routine helps keep the skin comfortable, hydrated and protected throughout the day.
