The SPF 18 Fluid Tint by La Mer





Rain rain go away in Manhattan! Thank goodness for The SPF 18 Fluid Tint by La Mer: it gives a sun-kissed look that leaves you glowing.  It is fabulous for all kinds of weather: in days like today it leaves you feeling like you have been on the sunny beaches of Florida and on the days when you ARE on the sunny beaches, it has the built in SPF.  As we head into fall and Thanksgiving time, we are thankful for La Mer bringing a bit of summer into fall!

La Mer has combined its miraculous skincare with an all important sunscreen and subtle tint to create The SPF 18 Fluid Tint. Available in three natural shades, not only does it give your skin that sun-kissed glow but it also protects from the sun.   Peachy Deegan likes it in the dark shade for her medium skin.

Designed for daily use, this incredibly light water-borne formula absorbs instantly into the skin to provide broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. However, it is much more than a simple sunscreen and provides a trio of natural and sea-derived ingredients that uniquely benefit the skin.  At Whom You Know we love products like this that are multipurpose and offer multiple benefits.

Gemstones absorb light energy, transforming it into beneficial green light to enhance anti-oxidant activity. Peachy Deegan loves when she can not only wear gemstones, but she can use it on her face!  Photonic spheres within The SPF 18 Fluid Tint redirect and diffuse light. Smart, light-reactive seaweeds impart natural humectant properties to bind moisture – preventing dehydration.

Tourmaline and Brazilian Malachite capture light energy and provide anti-oxidant benefits. These semi-precious gemstones found in The Fluid Tint absorb light and continuously re-emit it as beneficial green light. These beneficial rays of green light have a powerful anti-oxidant effect on the skin. Additionally, the light energy they emit acts as a generator for the miraculous broth found in Crème de la Mer, boosting its efficacy.

Hollow Photonic Spheres help this Fluid divert light waves. The Fluid Tint uses hollow photonic spheres to scatter light rays -- light enters the spheres and is “bent” and re-directed. The SPF 18 Fluid Tint reduces the potential for damage with sunscreen while also creating a flattering light effect that helps skin appear more luminous.

Seaweed imparts protective, hydrating benefits. Smart seaweeds included in The Fluid Tint have natural humectant properties that work to attract and bind moisture to the skin. These unique, light-reactive seaweeds in their natural state produce a protective emollient barrier to prevent dehydration when exposed to the elements. They provide the same remarkable effect in The Fluid Tint, preventing dehydration by providing essential emolliency when skin needs it most.
