Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun for dry skin

How to use Relief Sun with moisturizer

The sequence below is general skincare and sunscreen guidance, not Beauty of Joseon's product directions. A simple routine needs cleansing, moisturizing and sun protection, not a supporting cast of bottles.2

1. 1Cleanse gently before applying skincare. Limit face washing to twice a day and after sweating to reduce irritation.
2. 2Apply moisturizer to damp skin. Moisturizer traps water in the skin, making this a useful step when dryness includes roughness or flaking.
3. 3Apply sunscreen to exposed skin, including your face, neck and ears. Follow the directions on your exact tube, and do not spread sunscreen too thinly because that reduces protection.
4. 4For sun exposure long enough to risk burning, apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going out and again just before leaving.
5. 5Reapply every two hours during sun exposure, and after swimming, sweating, towel drying or rubbing it off.

What should you expect from the SPF?

SPF mainly describes protection against UVB, the radiation chiefly responsible for sunburn. UVA protection needs its own label check. Neither rating tells you how moisturizing a sunscreen feels. Make sunscreen a daily habit when the forecast UV index reaches 3 or higher; protection depends on applying enough and maintaining coverage, not waiting several weeks for a skincare result.4

What about swimming or exercise?

Choose a sunscreen explicitly labelled water resistant if you expect to swim or sweat. Do not assume your Relief Sun version has that feature. Reapply straight after being in water, even with a water resistant sunscreen. Use shade and suitable clothing too, and do not stay in the sun longer simply because you applied sunscreen.3

What if dry skin also stings?

Dry skin and sensitive skin are not interchangeable: dry skin is flaky, itchy or rough, while sensitive skin can sting or burn after product use. If sunscreen stings or burns, switch to a fragrance free sunscreen whose filters are only zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. If you cannot tell whether dryness or sensitivity is the problem, a dermatologist can help identify your skin type.12

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun for oily acne prone skin

For oily or acne prone skin, look for "noncomedogenic" or "won't clog pores" on the exact product label rather than choosing solely for moisturizing claims. Those are the relevant label checks for this skin type. Oily skin still needs moisturizer, so skipping that step is not automatically the better routine.12
