Why Korean sunscreens are better: Light textures & strong protection
Welcome to Happy & Pretty – we're glad you're here! Sunscreen is one of the most important steps in your skincare routine – whether summer or winter. Sun protection holds a very special place in Korean skincare. In this article, you'll learn why Korean sunscreen is so popular, what advantages it has over Western formulations, and which products should be included in your K-Beauty moisturizing routine.
Why Korean sunscreen is so unique
While Western sunscreen is often heavy, sticky, or white, Korean cosmetics rely on innovative UV filters and feather-light textures. This makes them pleasant to apply and perfect for daily use—even on sensitive skin.
Many products also contain nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, or green tea, so you get not only protection but also care. And honestly, we can't talk enough about sun protection – it's the most important step in preventing skin aging and keeping skin healthy.
Benefits of Korean sunscreens
- Light textures: absorb quickly, without leaving a greasy film.
- No whitening: ideal for all skin tones.
- High protection: modern UV filters that reliably protect against UVA and UVB rays.
- Additional care: combined with antioxidants and moisturizers.
