Top 10 Concerns
How to use sunscreen
1 NICKNAME Eoljangbaek
Q How much sunscreen should I apply?
Surprisingly, many people use too little sunscreen. The appropriate amount is approximately 800 mg based on the size of a typical female face. You can squeeze it out to the size of a 500 won coin. It’s a larger amount than you might think. You don’t need to use more than that.
2 NICKNAME Dal-i
Q There are many types of sunscreen, including inorganic sunscreen and organic sunscreen, but it is very difficult to know exactly which product to use.
Inorganic sunblock (physical sunscreen) tends to leave a white cast, but is used on children with delicate skin and those with sensitive or problematic skin. Organic sunscreen (chemical sunscreen) has little white cast and is easy to apply, but it has the potential to cause skin problems or allergies, so it is suitable for use when the skin is healthy.
3 NICKNAME Gums are weak
Q I am scared that pigmentation may occur on my peeled skin. But should you apply sunscreen to wounds too?
As a general rule, do not use sunscreen on peeling and damaged skin. In this case, there is a way to attach a play band with UV blocking function or apply sunscreen on the play band. After the wound has completely healed, apply sunscreen thoroughly.
Spot and blemish care
4 NICKNAME Panda is my friend
Q I don’t go out of the house often, but I keep getting spots. Can freckles occur not only under sunlight but also under fluorescent lights?
Since the amount of ultraviolet rays contained in fluorescent lights is extremely small, there is no need to worry about dark spots caused by fluorescent lights. However, since the sunlight coming through the window cannot be ignored, it is recommended to apply sunscreen even when inside the house. Additionally, freckles can be caused by a variety of causes, including not only ultraviolet rays but also hormones and stress, so you should try not to be stressed on a daily basis.
5 NICKNAME Bami
Q How do you distinguish between freckles and freckles? I wonder if each management method is different.
Freckles are usually characterized by several small spots distributed symmetrically around the nose, as if they were clearly dotted. There are various shapes of freckles, but they are usually symmetrical, such as around the eyes, cheeks, chin, or forehead, and are often wider than freckles, as if decalcomania was applied with paint. Both freckles and freckles are caused by ultraviolet rays, hormones, etc. The difference is that freckles can be easily treated with a laser, but freckles are difficult to treat. It is recommended to thoroughly block UV rays, consume sufficient vitamins, moisturize, and follow a regular lifestyle.

Q Once the blemishes appear, do they never go away?
Not necessarily. If you are well protected from UV rays, your skin barrier is strengthened, or your hormones are normalized after giving birth, freckles may improve on their own over time. However, because melasma is basically an incurable disease, it is not easy to treat in most cases. You can receive some help by taking melasma medication or laser treatment.
7 NICKNAME Jinkorita
Q I am always worried about dry skin. I’m wondering if dry skin may be more prone to blemishes?
you’re right. When the skin is dry, the skin barrier becomes weak, creating an environment where various pigment diseases such as blemishes and blemishes are likely to occur. Therefore, it can be said that it is important to prevent blemishes not only by blocking UV rays but also by thoroughly moisturizing.
8 NICKNAME Miminuppy
Q It seems like my freckles will get darker if I stay in the sun, but I still need to get in the sun to replenish vitamin D. Is there a way to kill two birds with one stone?
UV rays may cause dark spots, but it is difficult to obtain vitamin D from sunlight if you cover all of your skin with clothes or sunscreen. Therefore, it is best to find an appropriate compromise, such as covering your face with sunscreen and a hat, but leaving your arms and legs somewhat exposed. Of course, it would be better to avoid the hot sun. If you are lacking vitamin D through sunlight exposure, there are also ways to supplement it with nutritional supplements.
Spring skin care know-how
9 NICKNAME edisun
Q I heard that you should avoid exposure to the sun when applying whitening products. The sun is hotter in spring. How should I take care of it?
Among whitening products, ampoules containing vitamin C are recommended to be applied only at night when out of the sun. Vitamin C derivative products can be used regardless of day or night. If you carefully apply sunscreen when going out, the effect can be doubled.
10 NICKNAME Star Ruby
Q My skin is very dry these days. How can I achieve results with moisturizing care in spring?
After washing your face, it is important to lightly wipe off the moisture with a towel and immediately apply moisturizer before the moisture evaporates. Finish quickly in the order of toner, lotion, and cream. Water that is too hot can damage the skin barrier, so washing your face with lukewarm water at a moderate temperature is best. Excessive exfoliation can dry out the skin, so care should be taken to keep the skin moisturized rather than completely removing dead skin cells.
