Snowing in the Summer: If there is anything chic-er than a golden tan this summer, it’s having ivory white complexion.

Christian Dior has now introduced a revolutionary whitening system that is ideal for Asian complexion exposed to harsh sunlight. Dior Snow is a multi-step skin whitening program that doesn’t bleach skin but whitens it from within by inhibiting the formation of melanin, which causes skin to darken. Its moistuzers also have high SPFs that protect skin from the sun’s harmful rays. With a whitening cleanser, serum, spot corrector (SPF40), mask, protective base (spf35) and revitalizing creme all containing the patent S.N.O.W. (Skin New Oligonucleotide Whitener) complex, you can be sure to have perfectly snowy white skin safely. It’s all about being white hot this summer!
