🌿 Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick: Mugwort + Camellia
The Matte Sun Stick is a convenient, portable sun protection product that allows for easy and hygienic reapplication throughout the day. It is formulated to provide robust protection while controlling oil and imparting a smooth, matte finish.
Product Overview & Key Features
-
Ultra-Portable Reapplication: The stick format makes reapplication simple and mess-free, even on the go, without needing to touch your face or disturb makeup.
-
Matte Finish: Unlike many sunscreens that leave a dewy or shiny finish, this formula sets to a soft, matte texture, making it ideal for those with oily or combination skin, or anyone who prefers a shine-free look.
-
High Protection: It offers strong broad-spectrum protection with SPF 50+ PA++++, using gentle chemical filters that glide on clear without a white cast.
-
Soothing Ingredients: It is infused with Mugwort (Artemisia Capillaris Extract) and Camellia (Green Tea) Seed Oil. Mugwort is known for its calming and healing properties, while Camellia provides light, balancing moisture.
Key Ingredients
| Ingredient | Primary Benefit | Why it's Important |

| Mugwort Extract | Soothing and Antioxidant | Calms skin and protects against environmental damage. |
| Camellia Seed Oil | Light Moisture | Nourishes the skin without adding a heavy feel. |
| Modern Chemical Filters | High SPF/PA | Provides stable, invisible, and comfortable broad-spectrum UV protection. |
☀️ How to Use the Matte Sun Stick
This product is primarily used for reapplication and as the final step in a morning routine.
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Final Step (Morning): In the morning, use it as the last step of your routine, gliding it over your face and neck.
-
Reapplication (During the Day): Apply generously to areas exposed to the sun (face, neck, ears, hands) throughout the day, particularly every two hours when outdoors.
-
Application Technique: Twist the bottom dial to expose the stick. Gently glide the stick back and forth across your face and neck, ensuring full coverage. Make sure to apply 3-4 layers to ensure you are getting the stated SPF protection, as it is easy to under-apply a stick format.
Tips for Best Results
-
Hygiene: You can occasionally wipe the surface of the stick with a clean tissue if applying over makeup to keep the product sanitary.
-
Oil Control: The matte finish is great for setting down shine in your T-zone.
