Smoothie Do’s and Don’ts
“Do listen to your skin and choose products based on your skin’s needs and concerns. Your skin may not need the same thing every day.”
“Do mix products that are compatible with each other. Drunk Elephant products are formulated to work well together, as they are free of silicones.”
“Don’t mix products that have conflicting pH levels or ingredients. For example, avoid mixing any of the sunscreens, as you do not want to dilute the UV protection.”
Our skin needs are changing constantly depending on the products we are using, the weather, environment, climate, our diet and overall lifestyle. Pay attention to what is happening to your skin on a particular day. Much like you choose ingredients for your daily smoothie based on your body’s cravings, pick products for a.m. and p.m. smoothies based on how your skin feels. You can switch up products pretty much daily if your skin needs it.
The main reason we needed to layer in the past and wait some time before proceeding to the next step is that a lot of products on the market contain different types of silicones. Silicones need time to dissolve on the skin and they can also block the absorption of active ingredients, such as vitamins. Also, they do not have any direct benefit for your skin. We encourage everyone to try mixing your Drunk Elephant products, but that doesn't mean you cannot layer our products too, it's great to have options for both.
Ever since I discovered makeup and tutorials from a young age, I have been completely in love! Makeup, for me, is more than just a look - it’s a feeling. I am obsessed with the process of applying my makeup, bringing a look together and feeling a whole new level of confidence. My makeup routines and looks have been on a transformative journey over the years but now my most favourite go-to look is glowy, natural and sun-kissed. The Iconic London Radiance Booster is the ultimate game-changer and a makeup must-have!
