Sunscreen is essential for any skincare routine, especially if you’re aiming for that radiant, K-pop idol glow. When it comes to picking the right type, it can be a bit overwhelming. Chemical sunscreens work by absorbing UV rays and converting them into heat, while mineral sunscreens physically block those rays by sitting on top of the skin.
For those with normal skin, both options can be effective, but personal preference and skin type play a big role. I’ve noticed that mineral sunscreens can leave a white cast, which can be tricky for those with lighter warm tones. In contrast, chemical sunscreens tend to blend seamlessly and feel lighter on the skin, making them a favorite for everyday wear.
