La Mauvaise Herbe – A True Healer of the Skin

La Mauvaise Herbe, an innovative skincare brand that opts for holistic therapies and leverage science to formulate the best products. The brand uses aloe and hemp oil as the main ingredients in their products, which is a unique combination filled with hundreds of benefits.

A brand is a perfect option for vegan people as it is free of toxins and 100% vegan. The beauty industry lacks creative minds that use science and ingredients together to come up with a unique formulation.

At La Mauvaise Herbe, you will find beauty products that are approved by estheticians and include a clinical-grade formula to solve many skin-related problems.

As they say,

‘Healthy Skin from the Inside Out’

The products by La Mauvaise Herbe will help you get:

Skin Hydration

Skin hydration is the key to youthful and younger-looking skin. With La Mauvaise Herbe, you can enjoy hydrated skin even in your 40s. As time passes, the skin losses its natural moisturizing abilities, so here is the perfect brand for you to revive your skin.

Try out the Regenerative Face Moisturizer by the brand to renew your old and tired skin cells while improving skin elasticity. Get nourished and smooth skin in just a few days.

Brightened Skin Tone

Do you suffer from dark skin patches, uneven skin tone, or less radiance? The CC Serum with Vitamin C gives you the desired radiance and improves skin brightness by working on the depth of your skin. The product includes Citrus Stem Cells in it that show dramatic results in a few days. Furthermore, it greatly improves skin elasticity, as well. Get vibrant-looking skin with the perfect product.

Skin Cells Revitalization

Skin revitalization is essential, especially if you are growing old. As we grow, our skin tends to become more affected by our environment than usual. Hence, the wrinkles, fine lines, and whatnot on our skin. The Wrinkles Recovery Serum from La Mauvaise Herbe is the perfect product for skin cell revitalization. It comes with 5% Retinyl Palmitate and CoQ10 that helps in getting rid of age spots, wrinkles, and fine lines. Moreover, it contains carrot and Chamomile extract to fight skin irritation due to the chemicals.

Slow Aging

Aging is the process of losing your beauty and firm skin with time. Nobody can stop the process of aging, but it is possible to slow it down. The Pro-Repair Serum by La Mauvaise Herbe is one option that can revive your skin overnight. Not only will it replenish your skin’s moisture, but it will give it deep hydration, so the depth of your skin stays hydrated. By maintaining the moisture and hydration in the depth of the skin, the product helps in getting rid of wrinkles and fine lines. Furthermore, it is best for elasticity and firmness.

Healthy Skin from Inside

Charcoal has great benefits for skin, but the Detoxifying Charcoal Mask with CBD is something more than you expect. It acts as a magnet that clears your pores from deep inside and helps you to get rid of toxins and impurities. Don’t worry about getting dry skin after using it, the lecithin in the product retains the moisture and gives skin hydration.

This CBD Glow serum is great for all over the body! 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Product Name: CBD Glow Skin Serum Product Company: Moon Mother Hemp Size and Cost: 1floz. $50USD ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After hearing about the amazing origin story of this farmers market, women-lead brand based out of Colorado, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Moon Mother Hemp’s Glow Skin Serum. Not only is the packaging ethically sourced, the ingredients are as well. With the likes of jojoba oil, argan oil, and full spectrum hemp, this light weight oil is a universal treatment that can be used all over the body. It’s subtle scent of rose, frankincense and herbs adds a soothing almost spa-like feel to any daily skincare routine. I discovered that my skin loves this serum to be applied daily right out of the shower when skin is still slightly dripping wet. I pump 1-2 pumps of this light amber colored serum into my wet hands and work it around to mix the oil and water together. Then I thoughtfully massage this mixture onto my face, neck and decollete (I even rub this into the eczema and psoriasis spots I have behind my ears and in my hairline). After several weeks of doing this, I find my skin maintains a hydrated even-toned look and has stopped feeling inflamed or extra greasy. This has been one of the only oil-based serums I have used that doesn’t leave a silky film on top of my skin and for that reason, I will continue to keep this gem in my daily skincare routine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sensory Rating: 7/10 ⭐️ Ingredient Lineup: 10/10 ⭐️ Packaging: 10/10 ⭐️ Value: 9/10 ⭐️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Overall Rating: 9/10 ⭐️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Skin Type recommended for: Normal to dry skin. I also love this for sensitive skin types. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✅Like what you read here?

How to Do Lindsay Ellingson’s Skincare Routine

This article may contain affiliate links. See our Disclosure for more information.

"People might presume that since I'm a model, I have perfect skin, but I've always had skin issues," says Lindsay Ellingson.

Working as a runway and Victoria's Secret model in her 20s, she was constantly battling breakouts, thanks to a non-stop travel schedule and all the makeup being applied to her face. She also told The Cut and Erno Laszlo that she developed melasma, dark circles and hyperpigmentation.

Thanks for watching!

Those struggles inspired her to start researching the ingredients in her skincare products, and now, at 34, she's finally figured out what keeps her skin "glowing and balanced."

Although Lindsay's skin type is combination ("my T-zone gets a little bit oily"), she takes a decidedly gentle approach with her routine.

"The best advice that [dermatologists and estheticians] have given me is to stop stripping my skin," she told Spotlyte. "Just because your skin is broken out or oily doesn't mean you need to go at it with harsh cleansers and treatments."

Thanks for watching!

Her favourites include an array of lightweight serums and hydrating masks, along with products from her own line, Wander Beauty, which she launched in 2015. (They're "infused with skin-loving ingredients... and free of parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances and mineral oils.")

Here's how Lindsay takes care of her skin, inside and out.

Lindsay’s Morning Skincare Routine

1. Micellar Water:

Bioderma Sensibio H2O

Bioderma Sensibio H2O: "Bioderma micellar water is a staple in makeup artists' kits backstage. It's extremely gentle and feels like water, without any of the harsh effects of tap water."

2. Essence:

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence: "Then I press a few drops of SK-II Facial Treatment Essence in my skin, which always gives me a nice glow."

3. Serums:

Dr. Barbara Sturm Anti-Pollution Drops

Dr. Barbara Sturm Anti-Pollution Drops: "I'm obsessed with layering serums right now. I often skip moisturizer because serums are more active and just as hydrating for me. I start with Dr. Sturm's Anti-Pollution Drops which have a water-like texture that melts into my skin. It's packed with active ingredients like purslane to protect skin from oxidative damage and inflammation."

Ildi Pekar Tissue Repair Serum

Ildi Pekar Tissue Repair Serum: "Next, I use Ildi Pekar Tissue Repair Serum—it's enriched with CBD oil, which helps to calm any redness or inflammation. It's become an essential in my beauty routine. My skin just drinks it up and it leaves me with a post-yoga glow."

4. Face Oil:

Wander Beauty Glow Ahead Face Oil

Wander Beauty Glow Ahead Face Oil: "I hydrate with Wander Beauty Glow Ahead Face Oil. The raspberry seed oil acts as a natural sunscreen and evening primrose oil instantly absorbs, leaving my skin more bouncy and ready for makeup."

5. Eye Mask:

Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks

Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks: "I wear [them] for about 10 minutes. The warmth of the gold foil helps the serum to absorb deeper into my skin for an instant refreshed look. It's like a spa treatment for your under-eye area."

6. Sunscreen:

Josh Rosebrook Nutrient Day Cream SPF 30

Josh Rosebrook Nutrient Day Cream SPF 30: "I never leave home without wearing SPF. Right now, I'm loving Josh Rosebrook's Nutrient Day Cream SPF 30. It's packed with skincare ingredients, so if I'm in a rush, this product alone will work as my skincare and SPF. The formula starts off white and then blends beautifully into the skin without leaving a chalky finish."

7. Foundation:

Wander Beauty Nude Illusion Liquid Foundation

Wander Beauty Nude Illusion Liquid Foundation: "To perfect my skin with undetectable coverage I mix two drops of Wander Beauty's Glow Ahead Face Oil with our Nude Illusion foundation (I wear Light) to create a lightweight tinted oil. Then I blend onto problem areas of my face with our Wander Cushion which gives me perfectly diffused coverage. We named this foundation Nude Illusion because it truly looks like your skin, but totally, undetectably perfected."

8. Concealer:

Wander Beauty Dualist Matte and Illuminating Concealer

Wander Beauty Dualist Matte and Illuminating Concealer: "To conceal imperfections, I apply Dualist Matte and Illuminating Concealer. When we created Dualist, I was inspired by my years spent backstage in the makeup chair. These two formulas are all I need for that no-makeup makeup look."

9. Blush/Highlighter:

Wander Beauty On-the-Glow Blush and Illuminator

Wander Beauty On-the-Glow Blush and Illuminator: "I add a pop of colour and glow to my cheeks, eyes and lips with On-the-Glow Blush and Illuminator. The dual-ended stick is my go-to multitasker that works like a pretty filter for my face."

10. Lip Balm:

Wander Beauty Beach Balm

Wander Beauty Beach Balm: "[It] is my absolute favourite. The shade is called Sangria, and it has a gorgeous berry tint, and your lips are just drenched in hydration."

11. Face Mist:

Wander Beauty Glow Getter Mist

Wander Beauty Glow Getter Mist: "I set my makeup and refresh throughout the day with Glow Getter Mist. The Icelandic glacier water in Glow Getter's formula calms my skin."

Lindsay’s Nighttime Skincare Routine

1. Cleanser:

Erno Laszlo Sensitive Cleansing Oil

Erno Laszlo Sensitive Cleansing Oil: "I cleanse in the shower with Erno Laszlo sensitive oil cleanser."

2. Cleansing Brush:

Foreo Luna Mini 2 Facial Cleansing Brush

Foreo Luna Mini 2 Facial Cleansing Brush: "My nighttime beauty routine includes cleansing my skin with Foreo's Luna Mini, which works to deeply cleanse and exfoliate."

3. Exfoliator:

Lancer The Method: Polish

Lancer The Method: Polish: "And then exfoliate with Dr. Lancer skin polish, my go-to for an at home microdermabrasion effect."

4. Serums:

Dr. Devgan Platinum Hyaluronic Serum

Dr. Devgan Platinum Hyaluronic Serum: "As soon as I step out of the shower, I apply Dr. Devgan Platinum Hyaluronic Serum to retain moisture."

Resurface by Shani Darden Retinol Reform

Resurface by Shani Darden Retinol Reform: "A few times a week I use Resurface by Shani Darden, she's an expert esthetician whom I learned about in a Byrdie article focusing on her amazing skincare products. This retinol and lactic acid serum has reduced my hyperpigmentation, and it is now one of my secrets to flawless skin."

5. Overnight Mask:

Wander Beauty Extended Stay Hydrating Overnight Mask

Wander Beauty Extended Stay Hydrating Overnight Mask: "I finish off with Wander Beauty Extended Stay Hydrating Overnight Mask. It's lightweight, so it doesn't make a mess of my pillow. Plus, the mix of watermelon and rose flower oil leaves my skin luminous in the morning."

6. Face Massage:

Skin Gym Rose Quartz Gua Sha Sculpty Face Tool

Gua Sha tool: "The last beauty product I use at night is my gua sha face tool, which I use to give myself a lymphatic massage to define my features."

7. Silk Pillowcase:

Slip Silk Pillowcase

Slip Silk Pillowcase: "I always sleep on my Slip silk pillowcase to prevent bed head and sleep crease."

Lindsay’s Skincare Treatments

Facials:

Ildi Pekar: "Once a month, I see my facialist Ildi Pekar. She's originally from Budapest, and has very unique treatments.... She has really transformed my skin. I rarely get breakouts and my skin tone is much more even now. [She] does the best microcurrent treatment, which is like a workout for the face."

The Cryosphere: "[My favourite beauty treatment indulgence is] Cryo Facials at The Cryosphere."

Dermaplaning:

Dermaflash Luxe Facial Exfoliating Device

Dermaflash Luxe Facial Exfoliating Device: "I shave my face using a tool called the Dermaflash. If I have an event or party to go to, I'll shave my face in the morning after exfoliating with Lancer's Polish. It just makes your makeup look so much better and you have baby-soft skin."

Microcurrent:

NuFace Trinity Facial Toning Device

NuFace Trinity Facial Toning Device: "I've also enjoyed using the NuFace devices. I wish I used it more!"

Facial Cupping:

Cellu-Cup Glow Cup

Facial cupping tool: "I cup my face! [It's] so satisfying. It's like an instant face lift."

Face Masks:

111Skin Meso Infusion Overnight Micro Mask

111Skin Meso Infusion Overnight Micro Mask: "One of my favourite new beauty finds is 111Skin Meso Infusion Micro Masks, which I sleep in before any modelling shoot. They contain just two ingredients: hyaluronic acid, which helps to plump fine lines, and vitamin C, which helps to brighten skin and even the complexion. What makes these masks unique are the 150 micro structures that gently press the skincare ingredients deep into the skin. It's a little like dermarolling, but much more gentle. You can use these masks to target specific areas that need extra help like under the eyes, crow's feet, forehead, or frown lines."

Nuori Supreme Moisture Mask

Nuori Supreme Moisture Mask: "Nuori is known for creating the freshest, all-natural formulas. What makes this mask unique is that you can wear it almost anywhere—it's lightweight and practically invisible on the skin. I apply it during flights or while at the office for an instant boost of hydration."

Wander Beauty Lift Off Purifying and Brightening Peel Off Mask

Wander Beauty Lift Off Peel Off Mask: "The mix of superfruits and kaolin clay help to gently lift impurities and bring back the radiance to my complexion."

Lindsay’s Diet, Exercise and Lifestyle

Diet:

"I'm a healthy eater. I stay away from processed foods as much as I can and avoid anything with white flour. I notice a huge difference in my energy level and overall well-being."

Sakara: "To stay healthy, I signed up for Sakara's meal delivery service. I bring their lunches to the office which is great for me because then I’m not tempted to order takeout, and I know I'm getting a perfectly balanced plant-based meal that gives me energy for the whole day."

Supplements:

Dr. Barbara Sturm Repair Food

Dr. Barbara Sturm Repair Food: "I take vitamins every day including Dr. Barbara Sturm's Repair Food which helps to renew your skin from the inside out with powerful actives like purslane and quercetin. My skin has a noticeable glow after one week of use."

Hot Yoga:

Modo Yoga: "The hot classes always help me unwind after a stressful day and I love to get in a good sweat while I work out—it feels extra cleansing. Also... inversions are said to be a 'natural face lift.' They increase blood flow and oxygen to the face, which gives you a healthy glow."

Pilates:

Le Petit Studio NYC: "It's a great workout for anyone with injuries because it's so low impact. I had spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis when I was 13 and have limited mobility in my spine. I'm so much stronger, especially my core, but still lean."

Sleep:

"Sleep is the best medicine if you're feeling burned out or your skin is having a meltdown... get a good eight or nine hours' sleep. There's nothing better. Weeknights I'm in bed at 10 p.m. and asleep by 10:30 p.m. because I feel like my best self with eight hours of sleep. On the weekends, I love a night out with my husband and friends, so I just sleep in!"

Saunas:

"[In the evening, you can find me] in the sauna. My husband and I relax inside for about 15 minutes. It's a great phone-free moment for us to talk about our days."

Thanks to Rose Inc., Porter, Byrdie, StyleCaster, Into The Gloss, The Cut, The Select 7, The New Potato, Spotlyte, Erno Laszlo and Wander Beauty.

Turns Out CBD Beauty Products Might Be A Lie

A fun fact about me: I once worked for a medical marijuana dispensary. It’s something that usually surprises anyone I tell—“Wow! I never would have guessed you were into that!”—but also something I feel pretty passionately about and am decently educated on. I qualify for a medical card in New York, and cannabis is something that helps me manage pain so I can function. It’s great, it works, but you can't get it everywhere—most states haven’t legalized marijuana. Another plant from the cannabis family is legal, though, and that’s hemp. Hemp is at most just .3-percent THC, the psychoactive element in cannabis that gets you stoned. While low in THC, hemp is high in CBD, the soothing, anti-inflammatory compound causing a completely legal buzz all over the country.

So, do CBD beauty products work? Let’s start with this: Most products boasting CBD properties only list cannabis Sativa oil (another name—confusingly!—for hemp seed oil) as an active ingredient. Hemp seed oil actually contains no CBD. That’s right—you heard me. For a little clarity, I called up my old team at Knox Medical and spoke to their Manufacturing and Controls Director, Nikolas. “If you do the correct collection method from pure hemp seeds, it actually has no CBD. Or, if it does it’s below the detectable level—it’s very, very low.” Pure hemp seed oil is still a nice, light, non-comedogenic oil—but not much else. Even if there was CBD, there’s still little research to support that CBD applied topically (without transdermal technology) will do what beauty brands say they will do. “[Brands] just like to use the name ‘cannabis’ so people buy it,” Nikolas confirmed.

So right about now you might be feeling paranoid... Which makes it a perfect time to down to check in on your favorite CBD product. If it's already rocking your world, I’m here to guarantee that the ingredient you’re actually loving is definitely not CBD.

If you love Kiehl’s Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil… …it’s because of vitamin E. Tocopherol, another name for vitamin E, is the third ingredient in this oil—that means it’s present in relatively high quantities. As an antioxidant, Vitamin E is calming and anti-inflammatory. It also slows down signs of aging by neutralizing free radicals and makes your SPF work better. It’s a hero ingredient, but you knew that already.

If you love Lord Jones CBD Body Lotion… …it’s because of menthol. It’s really no surprise that this relieving lotion shares its active ingredient with Icy Hot.

If you love Herbivore Emerald… …it’s because of squalane. Because squalene oil is naturally produced by your skin, chemically related squalane (note the e-to-a switcheroo) mimics your sebum and balances oil production. It’s a light, non-comedogenic oil that sinks in quickly and is suitable for all skin types.

If you love Peter Thomas Roth Green Relief Sleep Cream… …it’s because of melatonin. Melatonin has similar properties to CBD when ingested, and it’s also likely the power ingredient in this Peter Thomas Roth cream. Recent studies have shown that applied topically, melatonin is an effective antioxidant to reduce and prevent photodamage (you know, sun spots and fine lines...).

If you love CBD For Life Eye Cream… …it’s because of caffeine, hyaluronic acid, and retinol. This eye cream is the only product on this list with cannabinoid extract, but it packs a punch for other reasons: hyaluronic acid hydrates and plumps the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while caffeine from paullinia cupana (AKA guarana) extract depuffs undereye bags. Add in retinol, and you’ve got a holy grail level eye cream—with CBD or without.

Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser

Finished by Laura D'Angelo, Marketing Insights Manager “Over time, my skincare (and overall life) motto has evolved into: the simpler, the better. After years of struggling to find a mild cleanser that wouldn't irritate my sensitive, eczema-prone skin, yet would also be able to take off my eye makeup at night, I've finally found my holy grail in Vanicream. It's a no-frills, unscented cleanser that gets the job done without being drying or harsh and, after trying everything from Cetaphil to Clinique to Chanel, I've come to appreciate the simplicity and gentleness of the formula. It may not be the prettiest bottle around, and smells like, well, soap, but at under $10, it's quickly become a staple in my routine.”

Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask Finished by Samantha Addison, gTeam Editor “First of all, I would probably continue to use this for the name alone. It evokes a feeling of having fresh-squeezed orange juice on a beach in Greece instead of sitting crammed in a middle seat on a four-hour flight. This is my ride-or-die product for flights or anywhere I feel my skin gets dry or stressed. It goes on clear so you don’t look “like your skin is coming off” as my partner lovingly says about sheet masks (yay to not scaring your in-flight seat buddy!), and it works as a shield from all the angry, recycled air. I usually don’t even have to rinse it off because my skin absorbs it so well! Extra perk, it’s 90mL, aka TSA-approved.”

Biologique Recherche Lait U Finished by Emily Ferber, Editorial Director “My skin has a lot of needs right now. I need to keep breakouts on my forehead at bay, address some latent rosacea on my cheeks, all the while handle what appears to be an eczema explosion on my jawline and neck. A lot of conflicting priorities all fighting for top billing. Lait U is gracefully handling all of these issues while keeping my skin clean. It’s my security blanket cleanser. When all else fails, fall into its soothing, milky embrace like a newborn babe. Nothing can hurt you now.”

Kiehl's Olive Fruit Oil Deeply Repairative Hair Pak Finished by Roya Shariat, Communications Manager “My thick, curly locks are always in need of some love—when left to their own devices, they tend to get dry and frizzy. I came across Kiehl's Olive Fruit Oil Deeply Repairative Hair Pak when scouring ITG for articles on deep conditioning and bought it after reading endless positive reviews. It has a consistency somewhere between Greek yogurt (side note: I've been known to make hair + face masks with Chobani) and marshmallow fluff, which is extremely satisfying to dunk your hand into. I use it as a hair mask once a week before a cycling class—I think the heat and sweat makes it more effective, but I have no scientific proof. I primarily put it on my hair at the mid-shaft and ends, with a smidge on the roots, then twist my hair into a braid or high bun for my workout. Even after one use, the Pak makes my hair smoother, less frizzy, and seemingly more resilient and shiny, especially when I use heat tools. It smells heavenly, never leaves my hair feeling weighed down, and and works wonderfully as a quick, in-shower conditioner when my hair needs extra TLC.”

Pharmacy Honey Potion Finished by Nicholas Kim, Planning Manager “Every winter, the name of the game is hydration, and (for me) moisturizers are simply not enough. I use this mask after walking around the city on the weekends, and it has been incredibly hydrating. The combination of humectants and the warming effect feels like it is literally locking in the moisture and my open-pored skin just drinks it all in. Needless to say, I upgraded to the four-ounce bottle as soon as I finished the first.”

Eminence Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum Finished by Kata Knezovic, Paid Search and Affiliates Manager “This serum was introduced to me when I was getting a "Spotless Reputation" facial at Face Haus in LA. It felt magical as the esthetician cooled my face with ice globes and then applied this gel-like strawberry lemonade smelling serum. It doesn't smell artificial though. I bought it immediately after and have squeezed out every last drop. It penetrates my skin quickly and does more for me than my past hyraulonic serums. I love the plump glow it leaves me with and it seals in the moisture that I needed this winter. It truly feels like the dessert to my skincare routine and might even taste like it too!”

L'Occitane Immortelle Precious Eye Balm Finished by Kelsey Fernandez, Recruiting Coordinator “I came across the Immortelle Precious Eye Balm while casually browsing a L'Occitane store with a friend. The lady working there that day was honestly wonderful (shout out to amazing customer service!) and really was able to dig in to what I might need. I've always had an issue with dark undereyes—I'm sure they’re from being exhausted all of the time, and probably from genetics, too. This is the first product that truly made a difference for me, and quickly too (within a week or so)! The consistency is ridiculously smooth, and I love that it has no fragrance. While I've never been a big fan of products that come in pots, I give this one an easy pass due to how well it works, and how affordable it is. Highly recommended, and because you need such a small amount, it'll last you a long time! I always look forward to this with my nightly routine.”

Mondo Mondo Perfume Oil in Hysteria Finished by Colleen Kelsey, Copywriter “I’m very picky about fragrance! It’s always been a challenge to find one that really feels like me. Mondo Mondo has a really interesting lineup of perfumes, and now I’ve finally ticked off the “find signature scent” box on my to-do list with Hysteria. The blend of tuberose, jasmine, palo santo, coconut, sunscreen, and musk notes is heady and intense, but also fresh. The oil feels close to the skin, lingers beautifully, and the rollerball vial fits comfortably in whatever tiny bag I'm taking out for the day. A roll on the throat, nape of the neck, and inner wrists and I’m good to go.”

Boscia Clear Complexion Cleanser Finished by Lindsay DelGrosso, Executive Assistant "There is literally no better feeling than a clean face, especially after a day of existing in New York City. I have oily skin, so in the morning after a long slumber, in the evening after a days work, and after doing just about anything... I yearn for the freshly cleansed face feeling. I am a skincare fanatic and have tried most anything anyone has suggested I use, but Boscia Clear Complexion Cleanser is the one thing that has stood the test of time in my routine. It’s like no other, fragrance-free, does not strip my face, keeps my complexion clear, it's not even a bad price point. Is it too good to be true? I think so, but I hope it never changes. Pro tip: pair it with the konjac sponge for an even deeper cleanse. Goodbye, I am going home to cleanse my face just thinking about it..."

Violets Are Blue White Tea and Evening Primrose Facial Cleanser Finished by Maura O’Neill, Project Manager “My many other 'gentle' cleansers tend to leave my skin feeling stripped, so I was pretty surprised when this one kept me soft and smooth. After a month of using it, I noticed (and started to receive compliments on) how much my skin cleared up—with acne, with dryness, and with redness. It's now the only product I will never substitute and I always make sure I have a backup bottle...just in case. I also just love that Violets Are Blue was started by a cancer survivor, and that the brand donates a set of their products to women beginning chemotherapy for breast cancer at Mount Sinai hospital here in NYC.”

Susanne Kaufmann Body Butter Finished by Emily Ferber, Editorial Director “I am a lover of a luxuriously packaged body product. The statelier the better. I want it to sit on my counter with majesty and heft. But of course, that makes it a bitch to travel with. Which is why, before my big move this month, I had to finish my Susanne Kaufmann Body Butter. It’s incredibly rich and buttery, perfect for winter. But it also smells a bit like a mango parfait—perfect for summer! A luxurious body cream for all seasons. Use it up!”

Clarins Gentle Care Skin Beauty Repair Concentrate Finished by Mary Martha Stasinopoulos, Consumer Insights “My skin is easily irritated, prone to overreacting, and hates change. To be fair, I could be describing any native New Yorker. I used to treat any sensitization/irritation with a firehose of thick calming cream...which would then clog my pores...so I’d apply a strong exfoliant or spot treatment...and start the angry reaction all over again. Only the Clarins Skin Beauty Repair Concentrate broke this irritating cycle. It's a tiny bottle of thin, runny oil that tells my skin to calm the hell down and get its shit together—without clogging pores or interfering with other steps in my routine. It's my solution for everything from irritation, to angry spots, to rosacea flare-ups, to 'my skin looks upset and I don't know why.' I slather it everywhere when I'm on a plane, put it on sensitized skin under my eyes before I sweat in the sauna or in SoulCycle, mix a pump into my favorite moisturizer to give it a boost, and even use it to thin out foundation. My husband swears by it for razor burn and dry hands. It’s a tinnnyyy bottle for the price, but it seems to last forever. I’m still using the bottle I bought six months ago to soothe a late summer sunburn, but already have a spares in my medicine cabinet—and my desk drawer, if anyone at Glossier needs some!”

Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF50+/PA++++ Finished by Ariel Herman, Engineer "I wear sunscreen every day on my face and neck, so I am constantly using my Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF50+/PA++++ to the last drop. I get it off Amazon in packs of two so that I always have some on deck at home and in my travel toiletry kit. My complexion is medium-dark (Perfecting Skin Tint G6 for reference) and my skin is combination with an oily t-zone. I used to use La Roche-Posay Anthelios but found it too oily. So I switched to this Japanese sunscreen and it's the only one I've found that doesn't leave the dreaded white cast on my skin and isn't oily. The formulation is a light cream with an oh-so-subtle, barely-there hint of citrus scent. I use the Fenty Pro Filtr foundation most days and it sits well under that without causing my skin to get extra oily, even on a muggy New York summer day. If this sunscreen were actually mattyfying it would truly be my end-all-be-all.”
