If you felt someone was being sus with your friend, you’d let them know, right? Well, that’s the idea behind Drunk Elephant’s beauty line. Their philosophy is there are six culprits at the root of almost every skin problem: essential oils, drying alcohols, silicones, chemical sunscreens, fragrances/dyes, and SLS. They call them the Suspicious 6, and if your friend has any of those in their skincare routine, here’s a great way to kick them out. Drunk Elephant’s Day Dream Duo is a dynamic duo of brightening vitamin C day serum and an ultra-quenching hydration serum. Together they form a one-step morning skincare routine that’s pure glow up.
