I look around and I am in sunscreen heaven. Not only have some of my favorite Korean skin care brands become more accessible in the United States but also, I'm spotting a new sunscreen trend that I'm loving. Some of the more science-based skin care brands are taking to formulating their sunscreens to include a variety of skin enhancing ingredients that can take your skin care routine to the next level with a step that you (should be) doing already. Sunscreen as skin care!

Some notable brands that are taking part in the trend are Allies of Skin and Murad. Both known for advanced formulations that treat targeted skin concerns, both have recently released sunscreen products that offer more than just UVA/UVB protection. For example, Allies of skin has given us a super duo with the Sunless Tan SPF50 Daily Self-Tanner and The One SPF 50 Invisible Sunscreen Gel.

• Sunless Tan SPF 50 Daily Self Tanner is designed to be a solution for those wishing to be bronze and beautiful without sacrificing their face time with the sun. It enhances your skin care experience with ingredients like vitamin C, chamomile, green tea and licorice. These work to treat concerns like texture, uneven skin tone and fighting inflammatory factors in the environment. 
• The One SPF 50 Invisible Sunscreen Gel is for anyone who desires a caste-free, matte finish. The velvety texture is unlike any finish I've ever experienced! To better suite the skin care needs of those with oily skin or acne concerns, the ingredient list features niacinamide, red raspberry seed oil and vitamin E.
