Korean sunscreens are popular because they come in many textures and formats, including fluid sunscreens and portable sun sticks. The format you prefer matters, but proper application matters more.
Sun stick or fluid sunscreen?
Fluid sunscreen is usually easier to spread evenly as a primary morning application. Sun sticks are convenient for portability and targeted reapplication, but it can be harder to judge whether you have applied enough.
What SPF and PA mean
SPF mainly describes protection against UVB, while PA ratings are used in many Asian markets to communicate UVA protection. Higher labels do not remove the need to apply an adequate amount and reapply when appropriate.
Do makeup products with SPF replace sunscreen?
Usually not in practice, because people rarely apply enough foundation or BB cream to reach the labeled sunscreen amount. Treat makeup SPF as a bonus rather than your only protection.
Current options
Blushcraft’s Sunscreen collection includes formats from SU:M37 and TheHistoryOfWhoo, including the UV Ultimate Red Vitamin Sunstick.
Bottom line
The best sunscreen is one you can apply properly and consistently. Choose texture and format around your routine rather than buying only by brand prestige.
