This product from acclaimed Korean skincare brand Skin1004 is said to have moisturizing and superior sun-protecting properties.&nbsp;

Looking for a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/tags/sunscreen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new sunscreen</a> to try this summer? With <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/beach-packing-list-for-your-hamptons-getaway-guide-the-hamptons-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Memorial Day Weekend </a>coming up, it's important to protect your body from the harsh sun rays of a hot summer afternoon. Going outside without proper skin protection can increase the risk of skin cancer, but did you know that certain sunscreens on the market could be harmful as well?&nbsp;
Well, Dr. Christopher Bunick, a Yale Medicine dermatologist, is cited in the study and states that mineral-based products are the way to go when it comes to sunscreens and after-sun care.
&ldquo;There is a lot of controversy right now about chemical sunscreens. Likely, many are very good with no benzene contamination or octocrylene as an ingredient,&rdquo; Dr. Bunick states. &ldquo;But if you are concerned, my advice is to use mineral-based sunscreens, hats, and sun-protective clothing and wait for the FDA to do their research.&rdquo;&nbsp;

About Skin1004&rsquo;s Centella Suncream

Luckily for you, we found a sunscreen that isn't just highly acclaimed but doesn't contain any harmful cancer-linked carcinogens and is mineral-based.&nbsp;
Skin1004&rsquo;s Centella Suncream is the non-nano mineral sunscreen that works to protect your skin from harmful UV rays without harming the environment due to its non-nano filters. Non-nano filters, by the way, refer to the bigger size of the Zinc Oxide particles within sunscreen. Smaller particles can mix easier into the ocean which may potentially harm wildlife.&nbsp;
This product <a href="https://skin1004.com/products/skin1004-madagascar-centella-air-fit-suncream-plus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">retails for $18 but is currently on sale for $15.30.&nbsp;</a>

How should this product be used?&nbsp;

As <a href="https://skin1004.com/products/skin1004-madagascar-centella-air-fit-suncream-plus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per their website</a>, it is recommended that this cream should be the last step in your skincare routine. This means that after you have applied your moisturizer, the sunscreen can then be applied so that its UV-blocking elements can work to its full capacity.&nbsp;

What are the key ingredients?

The key ingredients are Centella Asiatica Extract and Niacinamide.&nbsp;
According to the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4852572/#:~:text=Centella%20asiatica%20extract%20is%20a,hydration%20and%20epidermal%20barrier%20function." target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Library of Medicine</a>, Centella Asiatica extract is " a rich source of natural bioactive substances, triterpenoid saponins, flavonoids, phenolic acids, triterpenic steroids, amino acids and sugars" that showed the best results in moisturizing the skin. As per their study, a test group containing 25 volunteers applied products with Centella Asiatica extract twice a day and after four weeks the skin that was tested showed an increase in skin surface hydration and a decrease in transepidermal water loss.
Niacinamide, according to the academic medical center <a href="https://health.clevelandclinic.org/niacinamide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cleveland Clinic</a>, not only helps to hydrate your skin but eases redness or inflammation your skin may experience. They also state that niacinamide may possibly protect you from skin cancer.&nbsp;&nbsp;
