I often get asked about different sunscreens from different countries – why are many Korean ones, like the Thank You Farmer Sun Project Light Sun Essence SPF 50+ that I am going to review today, so different to European ones like the La Roche Posay line?     To understand that, we have to take a look at how sunscreen and sunscreen usage was (and in many cases still is) perceived.

One, Michelle from LabMuffinBeautyScience recommended it and she is my favorite source of sunscreen knowledge. And two: If there is one country that really has to put…
