Whom You Know Highly Recommends Clinique Sun With SolarSmartTM: It Offers Advanced 3:1 UV Protection. At Clinique, Safe is Always Sexy says Peachy Deegan!

It's August Manhattan!  Is your skin protected?  Once upon a time, Peachy Deegan was a sun goddess, worshiping the rays every hour she was not working at the law firm, her summer job.  He friends declared she was as dark as the Hawaiian Tropic girl, and that is because she is Black Irish.  These days, she is more concerned about protecting her skin and she has a fabulous solution for all Irish and non-Irish alike out there: the Clinique Sun with SolarSmart.  Clinique always has quality products and what could be more important than preventing cancer?  Did you know UVA rays can cause deeper damage than UVB rays?  UVA rays age the skin while UVB rays burn it.  Surprisingly, not all sunscreens protect against both. Clinique Sun with SolarSmartTM offers a comprehensive defense against harmful UV rays with 3:1 technology, where UVB protection is three times proportional to UVA protection.  Why is this key? The ratio 3:1 is crucial to ensure products contain an appropriate amount of UVA protection.  Formulated with Clinique’s Proprietary SolarSmart™ Technology, a unique blend of photostable sunscreens designed to help skin defend itself from UV assault.  Whom You Know has tried this whole line and we highly recommend every component of it.  Clinique does not cut corners.  They are committed to top products, and you will be solidly protected in the harsh rays of August!
“There is no harmless amount of sun exposure for the skin.  Even small daily amounts of UV exposure contribute to photo-aging, alterations in the immune system and skin cancer.  In fact, we now believe that about 80% of the skin changes we perceive as ‘aging’ are due to sun exposure.  This is why daily sun protection is crucial all year long, regardless of season.” 
- Dr. David Orentreich, Clinique’s Guiding Dermatologist 

The Skin Cancer Foundation, a leading organization dedicated to the prevention, detection and treatment of skin cancer, has given Clinique’s products its Seal of Recommendation. The range of UV protection factors and forms will fit any individual’s lifestyle and preference. The non-greasy formulas are oil-free, water and sweat-resistant, non-pore clogging and appropriate even for those with sensitive skin.  

THE ULTIMATE PROTECTORS

  • Sodium Ribonucleic Acid (RNA Fragments) and C1-8 Alkyl Tetrahydroxycyclohexanoate (Cat’s Claw Plant Extract) encourage skin’s natural repair process to help “clean up” skin damage before it can replicate.
 

  • Ferulic Acid, Rosemary Officialis (Rosemary Extract), NDGA(Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid) and Ascorbyl Tocopheryl Maleate are potent antioxidants encapsulated within a protein shell. This unique system allows for targeted delivery.
 

  • A targeted blend of stabilized sunscreens: Avobenzone, offers broad protection against UVA rays. Ethylhexylsalicylate and Homosalate, a combination ofUVB absorbers, help to protect the skin against sunburn. Oxybenzone provides broad spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays. And, Octocrylene, a water-resistant molecule that protects the skin against UVB and short UVA rays, helps boost and stabilize UVA and UVB protection.
 

  • Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) is a potent antioxidant that helps to neutralize free radical damage associated with UV damage such as premature aging and visible lines and wrinkles.  Perilla Ocymoides Extract helps to calm and soothe irritated, sun-exposed skin.
 

  • Sucrose / Caffeine are anti-irritants that help to calm and soothe the skin from the effects of sun exposure.
 

  • And, all of Clinique’s facial cream formulas include Plankton Extract, a natural marine extract that releases unique “repair” enzymes when exposed to UV. These enzymes help counter visible damage to the skin including loss of collagen.
