Drunk Elephant, founded by Tiffany Masterson in 2012, has achieved cult-like status among influencers and skincare newbies alike. Originally designed by Masterson to address her skin’s issues, the brand boasts a following of nearly 2 million followers on Instagram who are loyal to both Drunk Elephant and Masterson herself. Their claim to fame is the decision to exclude the “Suspicious 6” ingredients from their products: essential oils, drying alcohols, silicones, chemical sunscreens, fragrances/dyes, and SLS. Masterson believes that these ingredients are at the root of every skin issue and, when removed, your skin is able to return to its healthiest, most-balanced state. Drunk Elephant currently boasts a line-up of skincare, body, and haircare products, as well as a number of product duos and sets.

It reduces the appearance of dark spots, softens wrinkles, lightens sun damage, and improves overall texture and tone.

There are a few specific rules you should follow when it comes to using retinol. Particularly, if you’re introducing it to your skin for the first time. You’ll also want to be mindful if you’re combining retinol and vitamin C in your skincare routine. And the same goes for combining retinol and hyaluronic acid. (Not to worry—we go into detail on all of […]

Lindsay Silberman — Fri, 10 Apr 2020 10:00:31 +0000

Several months ago I went to see my dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman (aka @drdendy) with a specific agenda: I needed to get rid of my hyperpigmentation and freckles. She recommended Fraxel—something I hadn’t even heard of—and I decided to have the treatment done. Below, you’ll find my full review of the Fraxel CO2 laser treatment, details about how much Fraxel costs, the downtime associated, and my honest opinion about whether or not I think it’s worthwhile. [This article originally appeared on Spotlyte.] Regrettably, in my teens, I spent a lot of time in the sun with little concern for the long-term effects and, as an adult, my complexion was paying the price. While my freckles and hyperpigmentation might not be noticeable to most, they’re a constant source of concern for me. I often fantasize about being the […]
