MATTE ABOUT SUNSCREEN
On the flipside – the worst part of SPF – is the perpetual sheen it imparts on the face, that no amount of powder can help subside!

DRINKABLE SPF
Imagine drinking your UV protection and achieving the defense comparable or equivalent to an SPF 30 without lotion. Drinkable SPF? Yes, this is the future of holistic health and beauty. Osmosis Skincare’s UV Neutralizer Harmonized Water is non-toxic – in fact it’s simply distilled water imprinted with unique, vibrational messages which isolates out the precise frequencies needed to protect you from UV rays. The frequencies that have been imprinted on water will vibrate on your skin in such a way as to cancel approximately 97% of the UVA and UVB rays. This results in coverage for around 3 hours and approximately 98% of people will be protected by this new vibration frequency technology. Sounds like we’re in a sci-fi movie, huh? UPDATE: A little hard to, ahem, swallow – maybe it is. See here.
