How Sunscreen Works

Sunscreen is applied as the final step in a skincare routine before sun exposure. It is designed to help reduce the impact of UVA and UVB rays during daily activities.

Understanding UVA and UVB

UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and are associated with long-term exposure, including visible signs such as uneven tone and age spots, while UVB rays affect the surface of the skin and are commonly linked to sunburn.

Understanding SPF and PA Ratings

SPF refers to the level of protection against UVB exposure, while PA ratings (PA+, PA++, PA+++, PA++++) indicate the level of UVA protection. Korean sunscreens commonly use PA ratings to provide additional clarity on UVA coverage.

Types of Sunscreen

Gel Sunscreens offer a lightweight texture designed for comfortable daily application.

Cream Sunscreens provide a richer texture and are commonly used as part of a complete skincare routine.

Sunscreen Sticks are solid formats designed for convenient, portable reapplication.

Tone-Up Sunscreens are sunscreen formats that include a visible tone-adjusting effect during application.

PibuMate Tip

Apply sunscreen as the final step of your morning routine after moisturizer. For extended outdoor time, reapply throughout the day using a format that fits your routine.
