Easy-to-Spray Sunscreen... Perfect for Summer Vacation [Moon Hyewon's Cosmetics Review]

Sunscreens... Various Types Including Cream, Spray, Stick, and Cushion
Spray Easily Applies Outdoors Without Smudging on Wet Skin
Bonus Skin Glow... Thorough Cleansing Needed to Prevent Acne and Other Troubles

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] It is vacation season. You want to play at the beach but want to avoid the scorching summer sun. When traveling, I always bring my own cosmetics. Sunscreens, which are cumbersome because you have to apply them by hand and tend to cause white cast by settling into wrinkles, are usually left out, but I never forget to pack 'sun spray.' When spraying sun spray on arms, legs, face, and the back of the neck, the fine particles of the product are evenly dispersed, making the whole body shine instantly. It does not come off even on sweaty or wet skin and is easy to spray on, making reapplication at travel destinations convenient. However, it should be sprayed outdoors in a well-ventilated area and care must be taken not to inhale it.

This summer, I plan to bring the ‘Waterproof Sun Spray’ from Sikmulgara, which ranks high in Olive Young’s sun care category. This product has strong spray power and provides a cooling sensation upon contact with the skin. Above all, it is gentle on sensitive skin, which I really like. After spraying, the skin glows, so in addition to UV protection, it also instantly improves the appearance of skin texture as a bonus.

The intense ultraviolet rays in summer are one of the main causes of skin problems such as premature aging, loss of elasticity, wrinkles, and pigmentation. Proper UV protection is essential for healthy skin. Dermatologists unanimously emphasize the importance of always applying sunscreen well. A famous actress reportedly applies sunscreen even indoors to protect her skin from light bulbs and sunlight coming through windows.

Sunscreens come in many types. The world’s first sunscreen product was introduced in 1928 in the United States as a cream or lotion containing benzyl salicylate and benzyl cinnamate, and this type of so-called sun cream has been common for over 100 years. Recently, various products such as sun sprays, sun sticks, and sun cushions have been developed and launched to meet consumer needs.

Sun sticks, which look similar to lipsticks, are convenient because they can be roughly rubbed on and evenly applied over the entire face. They are popular mainly among male consumers who enjoy outdoor sports such as surfing, golf, tennis, and hiking. Sun cushions are applied by tapping with a puff, similar to foundation. They are more convenient than applying by hand and are good for touch-ups. Recently, versions mixed with BB cream, tone-up cream, or foundation have also been released.

In cosmetics, removing products is always as important as applying them, and this is true for sunscreens as well. Generally, sunscreens have strong skin adhesion and waterproof effects, so they are not easily removed with regular cleansing soaps or body washes. If not properly removed and left on, they can cause various skin troubles such as acne and inflammation, so care is necessary. Although dedicated products are occasionally sold, if you do not have them, use cleansing oils, cleansing creams, or cleansing wipes used for makeup removal to carefully remove sunscreen.
