Malta's sunshine makes sun protection worth thinking about throughout the year, not only during beach season. A good sunscreen is one you can apply properly and reapply when needed. If you like lightweight K-Beauty textures, Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh Rice + B5 SPF50+ PA++++ is one option to explore.
What does SPF50+ PA++++ mean?
SPF is a measure associated with protection against UVB radiation under standard test conditions. The PA rating is used on some Asian sunscreen products to describe UVA protection. The Beauty of Joseon product in our collection is labelled SPF50+ PA++++. This does not mean unlimited sun exposure; sufficient application, reapplication, shade and protective clothing still matter.
Why choose a lightweight sunscreen?
Some people dislike dense, sticky textures on the face and prefer lighter daily products, particularly in warmer weather. Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh uses a lightweight texture and includes rice seed water and panthenol (vitamin B5). It is designed to combine sun protection with a comfortable feel.
Texture preferences differ. If you have an allergy, very reactive skin or a particular concern about fragrance, inspect the full ingredient list on the packaging before trying any new SPF.
Where should sunscreen go in your morning skincare routine?
- Cleanse gently using a cleanser suited to your skin.
- Apply optional skincare such as a hydrating toner or serum, if you use one.
- Moisturise when your skin needs it. Some people find a moisturising SPF comfortable on its own, but that varies.
- Apply sunscreen generously as the final skincare step, following the product's directions before makeup.
Make sure you cover often-missed areas such as the neck and ears. Under-applying sunscreen can reduce the protection you actually achieve.
How often do you need to reapply SPF?
The American Academy of Dermatology advises reapplying sunscreen about every two hours when outdoors and immediately after swimming or sweating. Follow the label's specific instructions, and do not assume a cosmetic finish means a product is water resistant. For prolonged outdoor activity, select an appropriately water-resistant sunscreen.
Can you use it under makeup?
The Aqua-Fresh formula is positioned as a lightweight daily sunscreen that can be worn before makeup. Give it time to settle, then apply makeup without excessively rubbing away the sunscreen. You will still need a practical reapplication plan if you spend significant time outdoors.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need sunscreen when it is cloudy?
UV exposure can still occur when skies are cloudy. Think of SPF as part of your daily outdoor routine rather than something reserved for hot, cloudless days.
Is SPF50+ enough for the beach?
SPF is only one consideration. For swimming and extended time outside, check whether your sunscreen is water resistant, reapply as directed and combine it with shade and protective clothing.
Can I skip moisturiser if I use this sunscreen?
It depends on how your skin feels. Some people prefer fewer layers while others need separate moisturiser. Sunscreen should always be applied at the recommended amount.
