I have never been a big fan of tinted moisturizers or sunscreens somehow they always feel so heavy on my skin and leave my face extra shiny. I have finally found a SPF tint worth my devotion, La Mer SPF 18 Fluid Tint is simply divine. I applied a little first thing in the morning and noticed how light it felt and how quickly it absorbed into my skin.

All day I noticed my skin kept the flawless coverage and also how it left my skin feeling amazing. You only need a tiny drop so a tube of the La Mer SPF 18 fluid tint will last you forever. This is the perfect product for hot summer days when your normal foundation will be too heavy.

La Mer The SPF 18 Fluid Tint

Dr. Max Huber understood the power of light. Just as plants need sunlight to thrive, there are energies within the light spectrum necessary for our well-being. Utilizing this principle, The SPF 18 Fluid Tint captures beneficial light while diverting potentially damaging light. It brings a touch of color to the skin for a smooth, even finish.

Designed for daily use, this water-borne formula absorbs instantly into the skin to provide broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. A trio of natural and sea-derived ingredients uniquely benefit the skin. Gemstones absorb light energy, transforming it into beneficial green light to enhance anti-oxidant activity. Photonic spheres within The SPF 18 Fluid Tint redirect and diffuse light. Smart, light-reactive seaweeds impart natural humectant properties to bind moisture - preventing dehydration. Worn over Crème de la Mer, The SPF 18 Fluid Tint acts as a generator, actually boosting its efficacy.

Available in Light, Medium and Dark.

Have you ever done Mystic Tan before?  I have, and I actually really liked it - but it is SOOOO freakin expensive, I couldn’t really justify going back.

I’m someone who doesn’t maintain my tan throughout the year, and it’s really depressing.  I feel so much better about myself when I’ve had a little bit of sun. 

Erin and I went on a walk last weekend, and it was GORGEOUS outside.  It was like 70 degrees, and the sun was shining bright and hot.  At the end of the walk, I realized I hadn’t put sunblock on, and my face and neck were totally burned. Ever since, I find myself thinking I look better - with that little bit of color on my face.  What is it that makes us think we look better tan?

Well, Mystic Tan has released a line of products that you can use yourself at home, without having to go spend the $30 in the Mystic Tan stores.
