As we dive into the heart of pool and beach season, I’m often asked what my go-to SPF is—especially during this time of year when we're all spending more time outdoors. On a recent trip, I discovered a sunscreen that’s completely changed my overall skincare routine: Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF 50+.
I came across this gem from South Korea (yes, it's as chic and thoughtful as it sounds), and I tested it thoroughly on my annual trip to Nevis. Every morning, before heading to the pool or beach, I applied this lightweight sunscreen—and here’s the best part—I never once burned, and I never even needed to reapply.
What makes it so special? It blends high sun protection (SPF 50+ and PA++++) with traditional Korean skincare wisdom, using rice extract to moisturize and brighten, and probiotics to calm and strengthen the skin. It feels more like a serum than a sunscreen—no white cast, no greasiness, and completely invisible under makeup or on its own.
