Let me get a little Inconvenient Truth here for a sec… So in these days of global warming, ozone depletion and cell phones, apparently it’s not just enough to protect your face from UV rays. The iPhone-loving smarty-pantses at Clarins have come up with a skin cocktail that “protects skin from the electromagnetic waves produced by modern day communication devices” called Expertise 3P: Anti-Electromagnetic Waves & Urban Pollution Screen Mist, 3P standing for Poly Pollution Protection. This 3.4 oz spray shields your pretty face against biological stress, reinforces your skin’s natural barrier against "newly created environmental aggressors" and increases cellular energy. The Al Gore of skin care Expertise 3P is made with plants like thermus thermophillus, rhodiola rosea, white tea, succory dock-cress and glycofilm and has a subtle scent akin to Big Red. What’s more, it fights the universal enemies such as aging, dehydration and dullness at $40 a bottle. You can get it here.
