NEW In My Top Tan – Clarins Sunscreen Care Oil Spray

Holding the firm belief in the benefits of moderation as I do, I see nothing wrong with modest year round tanning. On my recent trip to Costa Rica, 95 degree heat was the constant–whether eating, drinking, reading, or thinking, I was in the sun. Anticipating the week of sunshine in Nosara, I picked up a bottle of the new Clarins Sunscreen Care Oil Spray SPF 30 prior to departing NYC. After using it for a week, I’ll be looking into a gig in sunscreen testing if this blogging thing doesn’t work out. #skill

There is no denying that I’m partial to Clarins sun care products. The sunny slash golden packaging speaks to me, the scent takes me back to some of the best summer days in my life, and what makes for better ingredients than plant extracts? Package the whole thing in a spray component with a dry oil formula and you just got yourself the best sunscreen under the sun. #literally

Clarins Oil Spray SPF 30 is “for beautiful body and hair”. Coincidentally, my body and hair are more beautiful with a subtle sheen that this new dry oil provides. It absorbs fully leaving behind a slight glow. The hint of a relaxing scent reminds me of a crisp issue of your favorite fashion magazine on a summer day. Must be the scent strips in fragrance ads. #luxe

Organic Indonesian Nyamplung oil is the key additive in my new favorite sunscreen. Known as dilo in Fiji (pretty sure it’s Kate Somerville’s latest face oil) and tamanu in Tahiti, it protects hair and skin from the harshness of sun, salt water and chlorine. Known for its resistance to air pollution, Plane Tree extract fights free radicals. Add soothing aloe vera and the winning ingredient deck has arrived. #botanicals

Broad Spectrum is the new black. This FDA approved sunscreen test confirms protection against both UVA and UVB ray damage. Clarins Sunscreen Care Oil Spray is water and sweat resistant for 40 minutes. Reapply after towel drying or every 2 hours if you just ‘sit there.’ Make sure you spray yourself down 15 minutes before sun exposure. Follow these simple steps and you will avoid sunburn and serious photo damage. #TanningTales

After my seven day trial, I am happy to report outstanding clinicals. This oil spray absorbs instantly leaving the skin soft with no greasy after feel 100% of the time. Nourishing properties enhance and prolong the healthy look of any tan. And look ma, no sunburn!

Clarins Sunscreen Care Oil Spray SPF 30 retails for $35 (5oz). Available at Clarins.com, Sephora, Nordstrom, Macy’s and more!
