How to Boost Slow-Aging Sunscreen Benefits With Your Skincare
The ultimate SPF product pairings for that youthful glow.
Skincare isn’t a sprint, especially when it comes to crafting a routine that fits your individual goals. It’s tempting to use products that promise instant results, but youthful skin doesn’t come from quick fixes. It comes from patience, consistency, and the right ingredients.
At Beauty of Joseon, we believe in slow-aging: supporting the skin over time with gentle-yet-effective ingredients drawn from Hanbang tradition and modern skincare innovation. And no matter what your routine looks like, one product determines whether your results last: sunscreen.
Our sunscreens are more than just viral best sellers. They’re the anchor of a routine that keeps skin looking firm, bright, and resilient. When you pair your favorite Beauty of Joseon sunscreen with the right products, it becomes more than just a daily essential. Here’s how to combine our iconic SPFs with the right products to boost your youthful glow.
Why You Need To Wear Sunscreen Every Day
Serums, eye creams, and face masks often get labelled as anti-aging must-haves, but if you’re skipping sunscreen, you’re not getting the most out of your slow-aging essentials. Whether you’re actively targeting wrinkles or want to maintain existing elasticity, sunscreen is a must for rounding out your ritual.
Daily UV exposure is the biggest contributor to signs of visible aging, from fine lines to loss of elasticity. We’re not just talking about sunny days here; this also includes cloudy days and sun that comes through your windows. Using SPF every single day is the most effective step you can take to keep your youthful glow, help prevent UV damage, and make sure you’re not undoing the effects of your brightening, firming ingredients.
Think of SPF as your insurance policy for the rest of your skincare routine: You’re unlocking the full benefits of every product you applied.
Your Slow-Aging SPF Skincare Routine
While sunscreen can enhance any slow-aging routine, you can also shop our cheat sheet of top picks.
Our Bright + Firming Duo is a must-have pairing for youthful glow (plus, you can save when you get it as a set!). Start your morning skincare routine with Light On Serum, infused with vitamin C to help brighten and Centella asiatica to soothe. If you’re tired of vitamin C serums that feel sticky or irritate your skin, try this one. It goes on light, absorbs in seconds, and is made for all skin types to enjoy.
Light On Serum is the perfect complement to our cult-favorite Revive Eye Serum, designed to refresh and firm your under eyes, or wherever else you want to apply it. Ginseng nourishes and supports your skin barrier, while retinal liposomes stimulate collagen production. This helps visibly smooth fine lines and give your skin a healthy, plump look.
Now that you’ve treated your skin to powerful slow-aging ingredients, sunscreen brings this duo to a whole new level. While SPF does the heavy lifting of blocking UVA and UVB rays, vitamin C further combats free radical damage and leaves your complexion glowing.
The retinal in Revive Eye Serum is super effective, but it also makes skin more sensitive to UV rays. That’s why we always recommend pairing it with sunscreen, so your skin stays protected while the retinal in the formula works to enhance texture over time. Ginseng also delivers antioxidant benefits, which work best when combined with your SPF. By putting these steps together, you’re revitalizing, plumping, and defending your skin in one ritual.
For the final step, finish your slow-aging SPF routine by adding some self-care with our Revive Under Eye Patch. Apply them directly over your Revive Eye Serum and relax for 20-30 minutes as the essence sinks in. You’ll get a moment to yourself, and even more powerful slow-aging results: Revive Eye Serum has been clinically proven to show a 22% increase in its firming effect when paired with our patch.*
And remember, Revive Under Eye Patch contains retinal too, so proper SPF will maintain your results and protect against increased sun sensitivity.
