It’s March 2nd, and the weather is less angry than usual, so that makes it technically almost maybe spring, and the good folks at Physicians Formula have wasted no time in debuting their spring and summer product line. Bloggers from all reaches of NYC gathered at the Tanuki Tavern to get the dish on the latest releases from makeup artist Joanna Schlipp.
Plus we have a TERRIFIC GIVEAWAY for our readers, scroll down below to get the deets!
The Healthy Wear line features three products, all containing SPF 50. As a person of the pasty white persuasion, I get fanatical about sunscreen, and almost no products meet my standards. SPF 15 just doesn’t cut it, but often with great SPF comes great irritation. The new Healthy Wear Tinted Moisturizer, Powder Foundation, and Bronzer each contain mineral and reactive sunscreens, so they block both UVA and UVB rays. This line also makes use of SPF boosters – long polymers that help the sunscreen molecules adhere to skin. To further sweeten the pot, all three contain a bevy of feel-good ingredients: CoQ10, Vitamin E, Alpha-lipoic Acid, and Genistein to protect and Licorice and Tomato extract to restore skin to its optimum status.
The cosmetic scientists at PF put these products through a battery of clinical trials to ensure not only their SPF, but also to ascertain that they won’t irritate sensitive skin. Joanna Schlipp recommends using the Powder Foundation as a concealer – simply apply it with the packaged sponge. If you desire lighter coverage, put the powder on with a big fluffy brush. Each product retails for $14.95.
