{"id":115,"count":11,"description":"Sunscreen is the only product in a routine with strong evidence behind it for preventing visible ageing. Everything else improves how skin looks; sunscreen prevents the damage in the first place.\r\n\r\nKorean sunscreens are worth buying specifically because they solved the texture problem. Western formulas at SPF50 are frequently thick, white and unpleasant, which is why people skip them. Korean ones behave like moisturisers, and a sunscreen you actually wear beats a better one you do not.\r\n\r\nReading the label\r\n<strong>SPF<\/strong> measures protection against UVB \u2014 the rays that burn. SPF50 blocks roughly 98%, SPF30 about 97%. The gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.\r\n\r\n<strong>PA rating<\/strong> measures UVA \u2014 the rays that age skin and pass through glass. PA++++ is the highest. This matters as much as SPF and gets less attention than it should.\r\n\r\nChemical or mineral\r\n<strong>Chemical filters<\/strong> absorb UV and convert it to heat. They are cosmetically better \u2014 no white cast, lighter texture \u2014 and most Korean sunscreens use them.\r\n\r\n<strong>Mineral filters<\/strong> (zinc, titanium dioxide) sit on the surface and reflect. Better for genuinely reactive skin, but more likely to leave a cast.\r\n\r\nNeither is safer than the other in any meaningful sense. Choose on how it feels, because that determines whether you wear it.\r\n\r\nHow much, and how often\r\nTwo finger-lengths for the face and neck. Almost everyone applies less than a third of that, which means the SPF on the bottle is not what you are getting.\r\n\r\nReapply every two hours in strong sun. Indoors with no direct window light, once in the morning is fine.\r\n\r\nSticks and cushions are for reapplying over makeup, not for your main application \u2014 the format makes it very hard to apply enough.\r\n\r\nFrequently asked\r\n<strong>Do I need sunscreen in winter, or indoors?<\/strong>\r\nUVA passes through cloud and glass. If you sit near a window, yes. On a dark winter day away from windows, it matters less.\r\n\r\n<strong>Does makeup with SPF count?<\/strong>\r\nNo. You would need far more foundation than anyone wears to reach the stated protection.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is a tone-up sunscreen?<\/strong>\r\nOne that leaves a deliberate brightening cast. Some people want it, some do not \u2014 it is a preference, not a feature.\r\n\r\n<strong>Will sunscreen break me out?<\/strong>\r\nMore often it is inadequate removal rather than the sunscreen. Try a proper double cleanse before blaming the product.","link":"https:\/\/baseshop.am\/hy\/product-category\/arevapashtpan-kremner\/","name":"\u054d\u054a\u0556 \u0584\u057d\u0578\u0582\u0584\u0576\u0565\u0580","slug":"arevapashtpan-kremner","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/baseshop.am\/hy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/baseshop.am\/hy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/baseshop.am\/hy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/baseshop.am\/hy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
