Drunk Elephant Reviews: The Best (and Worst!) Drunk Elephant Products

Lindsay Silberman — Sat, 02 Mar 2024 19:39:00 +0000

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. Their customers have been consistently impressed with the quality and efficacy […]

How to Apply Fake Nails Like a Nail Artist (in 15 Minutes or Less)

Lindsay Silberman — Mon, 19 Jun 2023 15:12:00 +0000

Truthfully, up until recently, I hadn’t done my own nails in YEARS. I’ve been loyal to the same manicurist since 2013 and would go see her once a month, every single month, without fail. I never missed a single appointment! But when nail salons were forced to close during the pandemic, I had no choice but to learn how to apply fake nails like a pro. (I also had to figure out how to safely remove a gel manicure at home, which I had never done before!) I tried an at-home dip powder manicure, and although I loved the way it looked, it took WAY too long (over an hour) and really only lasted for a week or two. Eventually I started doing some research on the best fake nails after hearing from several people […]

I’m a woman and I shave my face. There, I said it. But it’s not what you’re thinking. Don’t worry, I didn’t use my boyfriend’s Mach III—because I have my own my secret weapon: an at-home dermaplaning tool called the Tinkle. You see, dermaplaning has been all the rage recently and for good reason. The benefits of dermaplaning will blow your mind. It gives your complexion a glowier look, helps your makeup and skincare products settle better on your face, and it has even been known to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. But if you’re still not quite sure what dermaplaning is, we’ve got you covered. This guide will walk you through how to dermaplane at home, key things to keep in mind to ensure you’re dermaplaning safely, and the best […]

What Does Exfoliating Do, Exactly?

Lindsay Silberman — Fri, 19 Jun 2020 22:38:14 +0000

You probably know you should be exfoliating at least once a week, but perhaps you’re wondering: what does exfoliating do, exactly? Great question. Here’s a little refresher on why it’s important, how to exfoliate your face the right way, and a few of the best exfoliating products. What is Exfoliation? Let’s start at the very beginning. What does exfoliating even mean? Think of it this way… The next time you happen to walk past a bookshelf, take your finger and just run it along the shelf. Unless either you or someone else has just cleaned it, you’re likely about to pick up some dust that has accumulated. Would it surprise you to know that the majority of that dust (around 90% in fact) is dead skin cell particles? The truth is we all shed BILLIONS […]

Fraxel Laser Review: Before & After My Fraxel Laser Treatment

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 […]
