Ahh, skincare. Something that a lot of people forget about, other people rave about and some don't even care about. I, for one, can't get enough of it. I'm always trying new cleansers and toners.

One of the main downfalls of good skincare is that it can get expensive. Don't get me wrong, I'm always shopping the drug store for a good deal, but it seems like the good stuff always comes from the high-end section of the store. Skincare that costs a fortune isn't always the first to catch my eye as not everyone has the means to spend a pretty penny on some soap, which I totally understand and can relate to. But sometimes, splurging is necessary.

One of the best instances to splurge is when you've got a few gift cards for your favorite store saved up. This trick is exactly how I got my hands on the Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial^TM. Making the “Allure Best of Beauty" list in 2017, this 50 ML facemask is quite the magic worker. This product retails at a hefty $80.00 and Sephora reviews give it 4.5 stars. It is often paired with the Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil, because they are technically made to be used hand in hand, but not completely necessary.

The Sukari Babyfacial is made for all skin types to improve dull or textured skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven skin tones. The product contains 25% AHA and 2% BHA as well as the staple Drunk Elephant ingredients such as glycolic, lactic, citric and salicylic acids. Drunk Elephant is known for avoiding “filler products" such as fragrances and other acids to create a more abundant amount of product.

For you science folks, Babyfacial has a pH level of 3.5, allowing for people with sensitive skin to effectively use the product without it burning or irritating their skin. I don't have sensitive skin, but did notice a slight tingling sensation in places where I had recently extracted a pimple. It was nothing overbearing, but definitely noticeable.

You are advised to use the product once to twice a week by applying a thin layer on the skin and leaving it on for 20-30 minutes.

In my opinion, it doesn't have a smell, unlike what others said when I was doing my own research on the product. After 20 minutes with the product, I washed it off and immediately noticed that my skin was smooth. I applied the oil afterward and went to bed. When I woke up, it was obvious that some of my problem areas had improved. Honestly, I wasn't originally going to give in and purchase this product just because of the hype. But after hearing such good things about it and how it specifically targets the problems I have with my skin, I had to try it. The before and after differences were noticeable: my skin is less red and definitely less textured after using the Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial. I'm more than impressed with what a cute little bottle of product could do to my skin.

Thank you, Drunk Elephant!
