Simple renewal for the new year with Drunk Elephant

Whether your holiday pics don’t seem to reflect how youthful you feel, the winter weather’s taken you for a beating or you just want simple comfort for your skin for the new year, Drunk Elephant has got you covered! I was happy to be hosted to experience it.

Mello Marula Cream Cleanser may have first be conceptualized as a shaving cream — which it’s still great for — but it’s to wash your face or hands that may be delicate, especially now. They suggest it with Slaai as a double cleanser, but it’s really rich enough to be the first step, unless you’re wearing tough waterproof or glittery makeup.

It’s a dense cream in a tube, low-lathering. With a pH of 5, it won’t chemically strip your complexion. I tried it both during below and above freezing days in Baltimore; on warmer days, you could follow it up with Beste No. 9 Jelly cleanser. It contains vanilla fruit extract, colloidal oatmeal and nutritious oils. This is what you grab for when you’re wind burned!

This is the time of year when not only can your hands “give the game away,” they can even make you look older than you are! Scraping ice, chapped ringers, dehydrated skin — less than charming. Yet, it’s impractical to be applying cream all day long: your computer and phone will get messed up, papers will get icky. Therabu Buttered Reparative Hand Cream does its thing for 24 hours! Not only does it have marula and shea butters, but nourishing oils like avocado and jojoba. Colloidal oatmeal will take away that windburned, rashy look.

The vanilla-colored dense cream isn’t greasy, smells like vanilla and feels soothing upon contact.
