Q: Are the sunscreens you carry FDA-approved?

A: Yes! Every sunscreen on Soko Glam is FDA-compliant and meets U.S. standards. While Korean sunscreens are famous for their cutting-edge filters, the ones we stock are all formulated or reformulated to follow FDA guidelines—so you can shop with total confidence.

Q: Do I really need to wear sunscreen every day?

A: 100% yes. Whether it’s sunny, cloudy, rainy, or you’re parked by a window, UV rays are still at work. Daily sunscreen is the #1 non-negotiable for healthy skin (think anti-aging, anti-pigmentation, anti-everything-you-don’t-want). Our community knows: no routine is complete without SPF.

Q: How much sunscreen should I be applying?

A: More than you think! A good rule of thumb for your face (and neck!) is the two-finger rule: squeeze out sunscreen along the length of your index and middle fingers—that’s the amount you want to aim for. For your body, a shot glass-sized amount is the gold standard. And don’t skip spots like your ears, hairline, and the back of your hands!

Q: How often do I need to reapply?

A: Every 2 hours if you’re outdoors—and ASAP after swimming or sweating. If you’re inside most of the day, reapplying at midday is a solid habit. Pro tip: keep a mist or stick sunscreen in your bag for easy, mess-free top-ups.

Q: Can I skip moisturizer if my sunscreen is hydrating?

A: It depends on your skin type. Many of our community-fave sunscreens double as hydrators, which is amazing for oily or combo skin. But if you’re dry or dehydrated, we still recommend layering a moisturizer underneath for max skin comfort.

Q: What does the SPF number really mean?

A: SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor, and the number tells you how long the sunscreen will help protect your skin from UVB rays (the ones that cause sunburn). For example, SPF 30 means you’re getting about 30 times the protection compared to bare skin. But keep in mind: higher isn’t always better if you’re not applying enough or reapplying regularly—consistency is key!
