Spring can be tricky for skin — dry and chapped from winter, yet the humidity can ramp up quickly. A gorgeous complexion gives confidence and is much more attractive than the artificial Tupperware faces on tv. This Mother’s Day, give the mom in your life — and maybe baby, that’s you — a great face to face the world. Drunk Elephant has products for every type of concern, so it’s quite ageless. I was happy to be hosted to experience it!
Mom’s going to want some very quick results, not incremental improvement over months. How about a special spa night to wake up and be gorg for a fun brunch? Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil comes from the oil of the marula fruit, found in Southern Africa. This oil is noted to be rich in omegas 6 and 9 important fatty acids. Touch it on fine lines to soften them. add them to moisturizer to give it a nourishing boost. A drop added to foundation on your hand will give it a less cakey glow. They suggest using it to finish your skincare routine, even on top of lip balm to increase its efficacy. I do that every night, to really level up. I think it helps seal everything in. It’s appropriate to use on even the most sensitive skin. It is not adulterated in any way. This is one of Drunk Elephant’s most renowned products.
Here’s what they say about it: “Our Virgin Marula Oil is like rehab for your skin. It nourishes and balances while restoring a youthful glow and remains in its purest form.”
If you need your oil application to be more active, do more things, there’s A-Gloei Maretinol Oil. It refines skin’s texture, minimize the appearance of lines, hyperpigmentation, blemishes and sun damage. It incorporates vegan retinol, virgin marula oil and ceramides. It’s in porcelain container, applied with a dropper. You only need 2-3 drops on a dry face, once a day. It’s still gentle feeling, no discomfort. Now, I’m not your dermatologist, so I can’t speak for your skin. But I have delicate skin that has suffered burns, crazy bright sun this summer, humidity and I was trying everything I could lay hands on. I was drinking all these vitamin waters, the whole nine. I started using this oil for a few days and I then could go outside without troweling on a ton of foundation and concealer.
Another many-year running, award-winning moisturizer is Lala Retro Whipped Cream. It’s called a “rescue cream” with 6 African oils and fermented green tea. But it’s so fluffy and light, it’s not greasy at all! If you avoid moisturizer, because they feel too oily or waxy, this is the product for you. So, Drunk Elephant works to be sustainable and they offer a refill to put into their touch pop-up applicators. That keeps everything fresh and clean. Keep your application It’s very soothing and hydrating, suitable for your face and whole body.
Bora Barrier Repair Cream also comes in a refillable pop-up container. It is rich, rich, rich! Think of it as a protective layer before harsher outdoor activities or for a hard-working night cream. If you have that flaky, dehydrated look, you just might be looking stunning by morning! They describe it as “a buttery, ultra-rich lipd cream that helps restore that helps restore and support even the most fragile of skin, drenching it with a barrier-replenishing blend of ceramides, lipids, natural minerals and potent antioxidant compounds.” It promises to deliver moisture, firms skin and reduces redness. Certainly keep that in your bag of tricks!
