If you had to choose one step from all skincare, dermatologists would unanimously agree – it's sun protection. Serums and creams can do a lot, but without SPF, sun rays gradually undo their work. This is more relevant than ever in summer.
Why SPF is needed daily
Sun rays are divided into two types. UVB causes sunburns, while UVA penetrates deeper and is the main cause of premature skin aging, wrinkles, and pigment spots. UVA rays also work through clouds and window glass, so SPF is needed even on a gloomy day or when indoors near a window.
What SPF50+ and PA++++ mean
The number next to SPF indicates protection against UVB – SPF50+ is the highest common level. PA++++ signifies UVA protection: the more pluses, the stronger it is. For daily use, it's worth choosing a cream with SPF50+ and PA++++.
What is special about Korean sunscreens
Many avoid SPF due to an unpleasant feeling – heavy texture or a white cast on the skin. This is where Korean creams shine: their textures are light, "watery," absorb quickly, and leave no white residue. They are pleasant to layer even with makeup.
A great example is heimish Watery Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++: a light, hydrating formula with hyaluronic acid that protects and simultaneously cares for the skin.
How to use correctly
- Amount. For the face, you need approximately a two-finger-length strip of cream – most people apply too little.
- Reapplication. In summer, especially near water or when sweating, reapply SPF every 2–3 hours.
- Lighter routine. In hot weather, treat your skin with hydrating, refreshing textures – for example, TOCOBO products for radiance and moisture.
Properly protected skin not only looks better today but also remains healthy for years to come. Discover summer-ready Korean cosmetics at the bebre store – a summer sale is currently underway.
