The Best K-Beauty Sunscreens for Summer 2025
Did you know that May 27th marked National Sunscreen Day?
As the days get longer and the sun shines hotter, it’s important to make sure we’re on our A game with sunscreen application.
At PURESEOUL, we’ve got you covered with some of the best K-Beauty sunscreen picks to keep your skin protected, glowing, and ready to enjoy those warmer days.
UVA & UVB: Get to Know the Difference
UV (ultraviolet) rays are invisible sun rays that cause and accelerate skin ageing, dark spots, and sun damage.Â
UVA rays cause skin ageing, like fine lines, dark spots, and loss of elasticity.
UVB rays cause redness and sunburn, which can lead to irritation and hyperpigmentation.
Look out for PA++++ for effective UVA protection and SPF50+ for broad UVB protection!
Mineral or Chemical?
Sunscreens usually come in two main types: mineral (or physical) and chemical.
Mineral sunscreens sit on the skin’s surface and reflect UV rays. Look out for zinc oxide or titanium dioxide on the ingredients list.
They start protecting your skin from sun damage immediately, but the natural filters can leave a white cast, especially on deeper skin tones.
Chemical sunscreens, on the other hand, absorb UV rays and convert them into heat. They use ingredients like oxybenzone, avobenzone.Â
These formulas are usually lightweight, leave zero white cast, and are perfect to use under makeup for a glowy finish.
