A sunscreen that protects, hydrates and visually improves the complexion, obviously, we listen. The Stay Fresh Tone-Up Sunscreen from Beauty of Joseon has all the SPF you want to slip into your summer routine, especially when you want to go out without foundation but with a little more even skin.
The novelty was highlighted by YesStyle in its selection of K-beauty launches for July 2026. It offers SPF50+ protection, with two corrective shades: Green for skin prone to redness, and Purple for duller complexions.
The SPF that also makes a foundation
What makes this solar interesting is its hybrid side. It protects like sunscreen, but it can also be used as a base before makeup. The green version is perfect if the skin reddens quickly, especially around the nose, cheeks or chin. The purple version gives more freshness to tired complexions. It’s very K-beauty in spirit: one product, several benefits, and skin that looks better without wearing too much makeup.
Why is this a really good idea in summer?
When it’s hot, you don’t necessarily want to pile on cream, SPF, primer and foundation. This Beauty of Joseon tinted sunscreen helps simplify the routine while maintaining high protection. It does not replace a concealer if you want to camouflage a specific imperfection, but for a clearer, fresher and better-prepared complexion, it is exactly the product we love to discover before the holidays.
How to avoid marks with a tone-up sunscreen?
With a corrective sunscreen, apply it in a thin layer and spread it well, especially on the contours of the face, near the eyebrows and around the jawline. The green or purple tint should only correct the complexion, not create a visible veil. The best is to leave it on for a minute before applying makeup to the skin. Result: a fresher, more uniform complexion, but still natural.
Which shade to choose?
The Green shade is the most interesting if the skin tends to redden. The Purple shade looks prettier on a dull complexion that lacks radiance.
Can it be used under makeup?
Yes, it’s even one of its best uses. It slightly evens the skin and prepares the complexion before a BB cream, concealer or just a little powder.
