![]() ![]() What makes the Drunk Elephant formula so special is the fact that it pairs its powerhouse exfoliators with potent hydrators-and the combination of the two types of actives is important for supporting the health of your skin barrier. "It removes dead skin cells, sweat, dirt, and other toxins that clog your pores." So, if you haven't exactly kept up with your exfoliation routine as you've been basking in the sun and sand, consider now a good time to start. All in all, it does what it says on the tin – baby soft."Exfoliation is a must in any skin-care routine, especially in the summer," esthetician Joanna Czech previously told Well+Good. The exfoliation was gentle enough to avoid irritation on my combo skin, but also potent enough to promote that radiance I long for every time I touch a skincare product with acids. I wanted to see results, and results I did see! Suddenly, there was no sign of late nights on Netflix, there was clarity and evenness in my skin’s texture. Then followed it up with the Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil mini sample that came with the mask, to seal in that moisture. I left it for the full 20 minutes and rinsed it off with lukewarm water and a wash cloth. There was an immediate tingly sensation, which I secretly enjoyed, as it felt like it was doing something instantly. ![]() On application, I’m enjoying the creamy consistency, it did have a slight grit/grain, but not too gloopy, not too thick. The pump applicator eased the application (I did use a mask brush, I find them useful for accurate placement - you don’t want this grade of potent stuff getting in the wrong places like eyes and mouth). Let’s start with the obvious: the packaging. Baby-facial? Those are big words and a lot to live up to, but I was not disappointed. On first impression I was skeptical of this mask. It felt silky smooth to touch and my breakouts quickly cleared up over the next day or so. My skin was squeaky clean and glowing like I have never seen before. However, I did accidentally get a little on my under-eye area and had to quickly wipe it away to stop it from stinging.Īfter 20 minutes, I rinsed off with water and a washcloth. The formula itself is a different texture that I was expecting - it's much thicker - and its yellow-beige colour coincidentally perfectly matches my skin tone.Īfter applying a thin layer, I could feel a distinctive tingling, especially where I had active breakouts, which is most likely due to the cocktail of exfoliating acids within the product, helping to break down dead skin cells and remove debris. Drunk Elephant Baby Facial hits the perfect balance of feeling like it's actually doing something while still remaining kind to skin.īaby Facial arrives in the brand's signature clinical-but-cute packaging, with an airless pump applicator to keep the formula within fresh and to help dispense the right amount of product. Obviously, there's a cut off point and I would never advocate a product that stings or causes irritation. I'm a big believer in 'no pain, no gain', so when it comes to my skincare, I take a slight tingling sensation as a sign that the product is working. ![]()
