What Makes Japanese Sunscreen Popular?
Japanese sunscreen products are often designed with everyday comfort in mind. Many formulas are lightweight, spread easily and are suitable for use as part of a daily skincare routine.
Depending on the product, you may find different textures and finishes, from lightweight essences and gels to milk-style sunscreens.
What Do SPF 50+ and PA++++ Mean?
SPF primarily indicates the level of protection against UVB radiation, which is associated with sunburn.
PA indicates the level of protection against UVA radiation. A higher number of plus signs indicates a higher level of UVA protection.
For everyday use, choosing a sunscreen with strong UVA and UVB protection is an important part of a sun-protection routine.
