Beat the Heat: Tips to Prevent Sweating After Applying Sunscreen

Summer is here, and that means sunshine, fun times outdoors... and sweat. Lots of sweat. But here's the thing: sunscreen is essential to shield your skin from harmful UV rays, yet sometimes it feels like that protective layer just traps the heat in. But if you are dealing with a sunscreen-sweaty face, discover tips to stay protected and comfortable all day.

Fear not, fellow sun-dwellers! Here are some ways to help you stay cool and protected without sweating after applying sunscreen.

Sunscreen Savvy: Choosing the Right Formula

Worried about the sun? Tired of getting burned? Here's where Korean sunscreen comes in! It's like a superhero for your skin, blocking harmful rays that can cause sunburn and wrinkles.  Korean sunscreens are lightweight and feel great on your face, so you won't feel greasy or sticky. Plus, many Korean sunscreens have added ingredients that moisturize and brighten your skin, giving you a healthy glow all day long!

Pick a sweat-proof sunscreen:

Look for labels that say "water-resistant" or "sweat-resistant." These formulas are designed to stay put even during physical activity.

Lightweight is key:

Opt for lotions or sprays with a lightweight, oil-free texture. Thick, greasy sunscreens will clog your pores and make you feel even sweatier.

Consider mineral sunscreens:

These sunscreens, which contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, tend to sit on top of the skin rather than absorbing, making them a good option for sensitive skin and those prone to sweating.

When to Apply Sunscreen? 

Cleanse and Prep: Start with a face exfoliator to clean your face. Then comes your usual Korean skincare routine Korean face oil, essence for face, and others!

Moisturize: If your skin is dry, apply a lightweight  Korean moisturizer before sunscreen. Let it dry completely for better sunscreen absorption.

Sunscreen Time! Apply a generous amount of sunscreen to your entire face and neck, don't forget your ears! Use a fingertip amount for each area: forehead, cheeks (2 dots each), nose, and chin.

Don't Neglect These Spots: Apply sunscreen to your lips (use a lip balm with SPF), eyelids (use a gentle, eye-specific sunscreen), and the tops of your ears.

Let it Set: Allow the sunscreen to dry completely before applying makeup. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes. 

Application A-Game: How to Put on Sunscreen Like a Pro

• Less is not always more: Don't skimp on the sunscreen! Apply a generous amount – about two finger lengths for your face and neck.
• Don't forget the often-missed spots: Ears, tops of feet, back of the neck – these areas get sun exposure too, so give them some sunscreen love.
• Let it sink in: Apply sunscreen 15 minutes before heading outdoors. This gives it time to form a protective barrier on your skin.
• Reapply regularly: Even sweat-proof sunscreen needs a top-up. Reapply every two hours, or more often if you're sweating heavily or swimming.
