I find it really tiresome and time-consuming to wait for my moisturizer to sink in before I can put on sunscreen, and then wait for that to sink in before I can start my makeup. Plus, I’m oily, so it all feels like a lot of stuff on my face, which makes it feel more gunky, especially if I don’t have time to let it all sink in properly.
Would it be a bad idea to just wear sunscreen during the day and skip the moisturizer? I’m specifically using the Beauty of Joseon tube one.
I also use the stick version, which is quicker and more matte, but I find that it runs out really fast, and I can never tell how much I’ve put on.
Skipping moisturizer and relying solely on sunscreen can simplify your routine, especially if you have oily skin and find multiple layers uncomfortable. The Beauty of Joseon sunscreen you’re using may provide enough hydration, but if it doesn’t, consider a lightweight, fast-absorbing moisturizer to balance your skin. For the stick sunscreen that runs out quickly, you could use it for touch-ups and opt for a more cost-effective, easily applied sunscreen for full coverage. This approach helps you maintain protection while reducing the feeling of heaviness on your skin.
When I struggled with the same issues, I decided to simplify my routine by focusing on sunscreen alone. I found that skipping moisturizer worked well for me, especially with an oily complexion. The Beauty of Joseon sunscreen you’re using is designed to offer hydration and protection, so it can serve as a dual-purpose product. If you find the stick version runs out too quickly and is hard to apply evenly, you might prefer the tube version, which allows for more control over the amount used. Balancing your skincare routine to match your skin type and daily needs can streamline your process and reduce the buildup on your face.
It’s okay to use sunscreen without moisturizer sometimes, but don’t make it a habit. Skipping moisturizer can harm your skin in the long run, even if you’re using sunscreen.
