Question of the Week: Sunscreen and Face Misting
Our listener asked:
"I have a question about sunscreen and misting. Started listening to your podcast a couple of weeks ago and going through a few episodes a day (LOVE it, by the way) and noticed you frequently and highly recommend d’alba White Truffle Serum Spray Mist. I may be a newcomer to k-beauty, so I may sound stupid, but how does regular misting throughout the day affect the sunscreen, if at all? Especially if the sunscreen is not waterproof?"
The answer is that yes, misting can interfere with your SPF especially if it’s causing your sunscreen or makeup to drip down your face.
There’s only two real ways around it - regularly reapplying sunscreen every 2-3 hours and/or using a waterproof one.

Why Did You Buy This K-Beauty Product?
"I want to try this and the essence (but it's sold out right now). I like light moisturisers and I just want some fermented stuff on my face haha"
"My sister has rosacea and we watch some chicks chatting and doing their makeup on you tube and they used it. Looks pretty promising AND it's got sunscreen in it!"
"I needed to spend a little more money and I also need an exfoliant. Some online reviews said it's gentle on sensitive skin."
Beauty Nails and Fails of the Week:
Nail:Nail is a new Japanese sunscreen I’ve been using. It’s a sun milk that’s for dry skin. It hasn’t caused any pilling, breakouts. I’ve got shots up on my Instagram stories.
Fail:The pollution in Seoul has been causing my rosacea to flare up.
