☀️ How to Choose Sunscreen for Asian Skin: A Complete Guide for Melanin-Rich & Sensitive Skin

🌸 Introduction:

Whether you’re battling hyperpigmentation, melasma, or post-acne marks, sunscreen is the most important step in any skincare routine — especially for Asian skin.

But let’s be honest: many sunscreens leave a white cast, feel greasy, or trigger breakouts. In this blog, we’ll help you understand what makes a sunscreen suitable for Asian skin, and introduce a formula that ticks all the right boxes.

💡 Looking for a zero-white-cast, brightening sunscreen? Check out the ACCEPTANCE™ Glow Hour Sunscreen SPF 50+.

👩⚕️ Why Asian Skin Has Unique Sunscreen Needs:

Asian skin is more prone to:

  • Hyperpigmentation & melasma

  • Sensitivity and inflammation

  • Combination or oily skin in humid climates

  • Post-acne marks (PIH)

That means your sunscreen should:
✅ Offer high UVA & UVB protection
✅ Be non-comedogenic & lightweight
✅ Contain brightening and calming ingredients
✅ Leave no white cast (especially on tan to deep skin)
