For instance—Clinique Sun with SolarSmart –New SPF 30 Face Cream also encourages skin’s natural repair process while it protects your complexion. It feels weightless and is absorbed quickly leaving you with the feeling only traceable remains is the virtuous feeling you will have knowing you are doing something to protect your skin—which is, after all, an organ—like your kidneys or lungs.

Also try the new SPF 50 Body Cream—Contains antioxidants as well as protection fro the sun’s damaging UVB ad UVA rays. They all feel wonderful going on and do an excellent job of fighting for your skin’s health while you work and play or do absolutely nothing.
