Sun Smarts with Clinique Self Sun Face Tinted Lotion

May 28th, 2010 by Jeannie

What: Clinique Face Tinted Lotion delivers a healthy, natural and safe tan. The reason I like this one is because Face Tinted Lotion is allergy tested, dermatologist tested, 100% fragrance fee, oil-free and non-acnegenic so I don’t have to worry about strange coloring ingredients wrecking havoc on my face.

Why We Love It: Face Tinted Lotion is a multi-tasker. To guide application and make impatient beauty addicts happy, the self-tanner is a bronzer too. Thanks to mica and iron oxides, you get a bronze goddess glow before the longer lasting faux color sets in.

Sun Smarts with Clinique Skin Expert Dr. Tom Mammone

May 28th, 2010 by Jeannie

Dr. Tom Mammone is the Executive Director of Research and Development Worldwide at Clinique. Putting his PhD in molecular and cellular biology from St. John’s University to excellent use, he studies everything from apoptosis in the skin to keratinocyte differentiation to develop effective products that offer skincare solutions.

Clinique was gracious enough to give us access to his encyclopedic skin knowledge so we asked him five sun skin-safe questions that have been bugging us for a while.

With so many products and marketing promises out there, it’s difficult to discern between skincare fact and fiction. Hopefully Dr. Mammone’s answers will better arm us with skin knowledge so we can properly protect it.

Sun Smarts with St. Tropez Wash Off Mousse

May 27th, 2010 by Jeannie

What: Wash Off Mousse is the latest innovation from self-tanning experts St. Tropez. For those of us who love to self-tan but hate waiting to see the results, Wash Off Mousse is brilliant.

Why We Love It: I can go bronze quickly (even applying it haphazardly) and not have to live with the embarrassing consequences of splotchy color for days. The DHA-free color comes off with soap and water. If I do apply the mousse with care and want the color to last all day, I can show it off in summer whites without worrying about tell-tale color transfer.
