Kiehl’s Summer Book Exchange
KIEHL’S SUMMER BOOK EXCHANGE-get new beach reads at Kiehl’s, June 24 – Labor Day!
This summer, Kiehl’s Since 1851 helps its customers stock up on more than just sun care-we’re going to keep them stocked in summer beach reads!
From June 24 through Labor Day, customers can visit their nearest Kiehl’s freestanding store, drop off a well-read favorite and pick up a new title. Customers who purchase a Kiehl’s sun preparation will also receive a Limited Edition “Safer Fun in the Sun” bookmark, to further remind them of the importance of sun protection.
At Kiehl’s, they hold firm in the knowledge that the regular use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen is a vital aspect of any daily skincare regimen and the key to healthy, protected skin. They strongly recommend the consistent use of sunscreens for the face, eye area and body on a daily basis throughout the year, even on cloudy, seemingly “sunless” days. Because summer days are the longest of the year, and there’s greater interest on outdoor activities, it’s even more important that the face and body be fully protected.
Please visit Kiehls to see their full range of sun-protection formulas for men, women and children.

The spontaneous burst of color on the packaging , unique on each bottle, represents his interpretation of a firework, to celebrate this momentous occasion.
