When choosing a Korean sunscreen, the first thing to consider is whether the product will leave a white cast. Well, sunscreens leave a white cast because of the presence of physical filters such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Previously, more conventional sunscreens were used to incorporate these ingredients for sun protection.
But with time, as technology and science have developed, people can now find a wide range of sunscreens that do not leave a white cast. New chemical sunscreens and tinted sunscreens use zinc oxide instead of titanium dioxide, which helps reduce the chalkiness. The team of Sportskeeda has tested a few Korean sunscreens and selected some that will give sufficient UV protection without chalkiness. Let's look into them.

FAQs

No. According to dermatologists, it is always recommended to use a cream-based sunscreen as it offers the highest UV protection. Spray sunscreens can be used for reapplication.
2) How to effectively remove sunscreen?
Most of the sunscreen actives are oils, so it is always recommended to go for a double-cleansing routine. First, use an oil-based cleanser and then a water base.
3) Do I need to apply sunscreen after 4 p.m.?
Yes, if you are outside. But if you are inside the home and not directly under the sun, then you may skip it.
