Best sunscreen for the face

The first sunny days of spring are slowly coming back! After months of little winter sun, your skin will soon be exposed to much more UV radiation again. Especially during this transition from winter to spring, a good facial sunscreen is essential.

A good SPF for the face feels lightweight, leaves no white cast and protects your skin against both UVB (burning) and UVA (skin ageing). Korean sunscreens are known for their comfortable textures and are often used daily as part of a skincare routine. Discover all options within facial sunscreen .

Spring tip: In the Netherlands, the UV index often starts rising from March onwards. Even when the sun doesn’t feel strong yet, UVA radiation is already present. That’s why dermatologists recommend wearing at least SPF 30 daily — and SPF 50 if your skin is sensitive or prone to pigmentation.

Frequently asked questions about sunscreen in spring

Do you really need sunscreen in March?

Yes. Even in March, there is already significant UVA radiation present. This doesn’t cause sunburn, but it does contribute to skin ageing and pigmentation.

Which SPF level is suitable for the face?

SPF 30 is suitable for daily use. Choose SPF 50 if your skin is sensitive, prone to pigmentation or if you use active ingredients.

What is the difference between Korean sunscreen and regular sunscreen?

Korean sunscreens are developed for daily use and usually feel lighter and more comfortable. They combine UV protection with hydrating and calming skincare ingredients.
