Oh yes, this summer has been super hot in Tokyo. All sorts of sunscreens occupy shop front now, but let’s not forget that it’s extremely important to choose the right kind of sunscreen from the best Japanese UV sunscreens made in Japan. If sunscreen doesn’t suit your skin, it can create all sorts of problems. If you think your sunscreen doesn’t suit you, try the following:

  • Choose sunscreen for sensitive skin
  • Pay close attention to the ingredients in sunscreen
  • Check if SPF and/or PA is too high for your skin

It’s also important to rethink the ways in which you apply or wash off sunscreen.

  • Apply sunscreen as directed
