With new sunscreen formats hitting the skincare aisle every single day, you might find your allegiance to traditional lotions slipping. This sunscreen stick by Thank You Farmer is not about to make things any easier. Beyond delivering a non-sticky formula and quick absorption, the stick makes for a compact and fuss-free option for quick touchups on blistering days.
This sunscreen redefines sun protection with its lightweight, non-greasy formula that blends seamlessly into the skin. Enriched with rice extract and probiotics, it hydrates, nourishes, and brightens, making it more than just a sunscreen. With no white cast, it’s ideal for all skin tones and a dream under makeup.
Pro tip: Use a two-finger length for optimal coverage and reapply every two hours for maximum protection when outdoors.
Korean sunscreens have long had the game figured out: lightweight textures, skin-loving ingredients and absolutely zero white cast. Beauty of Joseon’s cult-favourite sunscreen checks every single box—and then some. If you’ve been on Instagram anytime recently, chances are you’ve seen your favourite skinfluencer casually slathering it on mid-routine. It’s become a go-to for a reason: packed with niacinamide, it keeps sebum and moisture levels in check, so you’re never greasy, just glowy. It’s also infused with rice bran and a fermented grain complex that gives it that creamy, hydrating feel without weighing you down. Pro tip: apply at least 15 minutes before heading out the door to let it do its thing.
Beauty of Joseon’s sunscreen isn’t just about protection—it hydrates, too. Packed with rice and probiotics, it helps nourish your skin while keeping it safe from the UV rays. It’s a smooth, lightweight formula that will quickly become your everyday go-to. So restock in bulk to keep your skin covered all year round.
Sun protection is recommended from the age of six months onwards—so you really have no excuse for skipping SPF in your getting-ready routine in the AM. Clinical studies have proven that consistent usage of sunscreen can slow down signs of ageing and the easiest way to hop on the train is with a lightweight, non-greasy formula like this probiotic-enhanced cream by Beauty of Joseon.
“I usually have very dry skin all year round, but in summers my skin tends to crave more lightweight hydration. I love this Clinique spray because it's such an easy, fuss-free way to give your skin that instant pick-me-up, whenever you need. It adds soothing hydration that never feels greasy and rescues my skin from dullness with just a few spritzes. The best part is that you can use this both under and over your makeup, making it a must-have for balmy summer days.”
“I love a bold lip, but liquid matte lipsticks tend to feel super heavy for summers and creamy bullet lipsticks don’t typically last as long. So I go for this Korean lip tint that offers the best of both worlds—it’s intensely pigmented and lasts long with a comfortable, weightless feel. Plus, it’s transfer-proof, waterproof and smudge-proof. I never have to worry about touchups through the day.”
“The one skincare rule I swear by during summers is to reapply SPF every two to three hours, whenever I am outdoors or in the sun. I always carry a sunstick in my bag for easy reapplication and the Thank You Farmer one is my current favourite. It feels super lightweight and non-greasy on the skin; and blends seamlessly to deliver a silky matte finish. It’s also waterproof and does not move or budge my makeup, which I love.”
“It’s not always possible to align your hair wash days with your social calendar, which is why—during summer—I stock up on this dry shampoo. A few spritzes on your roots instantly work to absorb excess oil and grease; and deliver a refreshed scalp and enhanced volume. I love that it gives my hair a clean, volumised look without making it feel dry or brittle. It’s a must-have for me whether I’m running late to work or grabbing dinner with my friends right after the gym.”
“I’ve always been a fan of Korean sunscreens, but this one has become a handbag must-have for me at this point. It has a light, soothing texture that absorbs seamlessly and works even for my sensitive skin. I love how it always leaves my skin feeling adequately hydrated and never greasy or sticky. Plus, it leaves no white cast and almost delivers this subtle brightening effect.”
“Wearing a full-face of makeup in the scorching heat can be a little tricky, but this K-beauty find has been an absolute gamechanger for me. I have combination skin which means my T-zone gets oily through the day. This translucent mineral powder not only absorbs excess oil and gives a matte finish, but also adds this soft-blur effect and minimises the appearance of pores. Go for it if you prefer a clean, matte look even on the most humid summer days.”
“This light, floral body mist is perfect for summers—it softens and hydrates the skin while leaving behind a floral scent. Prepared with fresh Indian flowers and herbs, it blends the refreshing notes of green tea with a musky, oud undertone and creates a soft, balanced scent that keeps me feeling fresh all day.”
