Sun protection is not only needed in the scorching summer, but all year round. The saying that a white complexion can cover up a hundred flaws is not an exaggeration.

Is Korean Wlab sunscreen a physical sunscreen?

Korean wlab sunscreen is a comprehensive physical + chemical sunscreen. Wlab sunscreen contains 60% cypress water, which is very suitable for use in hot summer weather. Although it contains physical sunscreen, it will not cast a white cast. It also has the advantages of chemical sunscreen, being skin-friendly and non-greasy, and does not put any burden on the skin. It is suitable for people of all skin types.

The difference between physical sunscreen and chemical sunscreen

The sunscreen ingredients of physical sunscreen are zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, etc., while the common sunscreen ingredients of chemical sunscreen are benzophenone, ethylhexyl salicylate, and octocrylene.

Chemical sunscreens are somewhat irritating to the skin and the effect is not long-lasting, so they need to be reapplied every once in a while. However, they are relatively light and thin, so they are suitable for non-allergic oily skin or combination skin. Physical sunscreen is safer for dry skin and sensitive skin.

The correct way to apply sunscreen

Take an appropriate amount of sunscreen and tap it evenly on the face, patting from top to bottom until the skin tone is even (apply along the direction of the facial pores to prevent it from being absorbed), and dark skin tones can be enhanced.
