MAKE UP FOR HOT DATES

It's getting to be that time of year, when the outside temperatures start to play havoc with girl's choice what to wear - and that applies to the face and body as much as the wardrobe. Fortunately the world's cosmetic companies are beavering eagerly on our behalf.

Clinique's new Superdefense SPF25 Age Defense Moisturizer has SPF25 to defend against the damaging and aging effects of the sun and address damaging visible effects to skin from both external sources (like sun and pollution) and internal aggressors like everyday psychological and emotional stress (thanks to Red Microalgae Extract, a patented stress neutraliser).

This is a protective emollient balm formulated to condition lips and lock in moisture with a sheer wash of color, an all-natural sheen and SPF15. It tastes nice and feels food on the lips (some bit balms can be a bit greasy).
