Poll based on some discourse I saw recently: Did you learn about sun cream / sunblock and skin cancer in school? I did but it was in Home Economics, an optional class. I'm also aware about different countries doing it differently, but I'm curious.
Got really bad sunburn on my legs cos I can’t wear sun cream due to allergies and was stuck in the sun. Fortunately had UV sleeves on my arms, might need to get some for my legs too.
Aqueous cream to the rescue, hoping it heals alright and stops hurting soon.
Update: it got worse, turns out my new meds cause bad sunburn and photo sensitivity. Only on a low dose so far so it’s probably going to get worse. :(
the word 'sunscreen' meaning 'sun lotion' kind of sounds like somewhere sometime someone mispronounced 'sun cream' and people were like, "yeah I guess that works too"
waaaa i hate having sensory issues i gate suncream i hate 'ultra-sheer dry touch' because it's the Same Greasiness As Every Other Suncream and it makes me want to Rip Off My Skin
There are a lot of new Korean sunscreen launches every year, but the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF50 PA+++ still remains loved by many. Except for sun protection, it’s enriched with Aloe Vera leaf extract to moisturize and soothe the skin.
I've shared my impressions on this sunscreen on my latest blog post: COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream Review
