Farmstay Cica Farm Nature Solution Sun Cream

It's rated SPF 50+ PA++++, the on-pack figures for a high-protection daily sunscreen. SPF refers to UVB and PA to UVA coverage, with PA++++ being the highest tier on the Asian scale. As with any sunscreen, the rating holds only when you apply enough and reapply through the day — roughly every two to three hours outdoors.

Apply it as the final step of your morning routine, after moisturiser, using roughly two finger-lengths for the face and neck to reach the labelled protection. Let it absorb for a few minutes before makeup. Reapply every two to three hours when you're outdoors or after sweating and swimming, as no single application lasts all day.

It's built on chemical filters rather than heavy mineral ones, so it spreads clear and absorbs without the white cast that thicker sunscreens can leave. The finish is light and non-sticky, which makes it comfortable under makeup. As with any sunscreen, rub it in fully and give it a minute to settle for an even, invisible finish.

Its lightweight, fast-absorbing, non-sticky texture suits oily and combination skin well as a daily sunscreen. It contains fragrance, so if your skin is reactive, patch test first. For very oily skin, a light layer and a matte makeup on top works well; reapplication over the day can be done with a powder or stick SPF if you prefer.

Yes — that's exactly what it's designed for. Applied after moisturiser and given a moment to absorb, it sits smoothly under foundation or a BB cream. Daily sunscreen is the single most useful step for keeping skin looking even and healthy over time, so a comfortable formula you'll actually wear each day matters more than anything fancy.

"Cica" refers to Centella Asiatica, a botanical known for calming and soothing the look of skin. It appears in this sunscreen, though it sits low in the formula, so it lends a gentle character rather than acting as a concentrated treatment. The product's main job is sun protection; the centella is a supporting, comfort-focused touch.

UV reaches skin on overcast days and through windows, so daily sunscreen is worth wearing year-round if you're near daylight, not only on bright summer days. A high-SPF daily formula like this makes that habit easy. On days with little to no daylight exposure it matters less, but consistency is what makes sunscreen worthwhile.

Sunscreen is best removed with a proper cleanse. Start with an oil cleanser or micellar water to break down the water-resistant filters, then follow with a gentle foaming cleanser — a double cleanse. This makes sure nothing is left to sit in pores overnight, leaving skin clean and comfortable before the rest of your evening routine.
