The Drunk Elephant favourites Team Cult Beauty swear by
Everybody in the Cult’s getting tipsy! Serious skin care, hair and body heroes that don’t take themselves super seriously, Drunk Elephant’s rise to the top of the industry pops has been (rightfully!) meteoric. Founded by Tiffany Masterson who wanted to formulate products without any ‘fillers’, this all-star collection is powered by biocompatible actives – a mix of synthetic and plant-derived extracts – that skin recognises and knows what to do with. And, because of their ingredient-elimination philosophy, you won’t find any of the following ‘Suspicious 6’ – drying alcohols, silicones, SLS, chemical screens, essential oils or fragrances/dyes – so you can ‘reset’ your complexion and help both your skin and your tresses to flourish like never before. It's no wonder Team Cult Beauty can't get enough of them...
F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial - Holly, Cult Beauty Social
One of their most cooling and quenching tipples, the F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial plumps and restores dry, dehydrated skin with an electrolyte cocktail while strengthening the skin’s acid mantle. "This has got to be my favourite skin care discovery of the year. It's basically like Lucozade for your face: quenching thirsty skin and delivering a hefty shot of electrolytes to regulate moisture levels. I’ve noticed some lines creeping up on my forehead - which are more obvious when my I’m dehydrated -and this literally plumped them up overnight! Best part? You can use it in the day too... I’ve switched up my normal moisturiser for this and I'm absolutely loving how supple and healthy my skin looks. OBSESSED!"
D-Bronze Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops - Eva, Cult Beauty Design
A concentrated mix of protective antioxidants to boost your skin’s defences against pollution and environmental stressors…all delivered with a bronzy finish. This is the hero formula behind countless just-got-back-from somewhere glows! "I think I speak for many people here when I say that I cannot start a day - especially a gloomy one - without a generous dollop of D-Bronzi in my moisturiser. Every time I wear it, I get so many compliments on how glowy I look! This is most definitely a girl's and boy's best friend."
Lala Retro Whipped Cream - Georgia, Cult Beauty Marketing
If your skin’s in need of rescue, introduce it to this quenching, nourishing all-purpose moisturising cream. Taking ceramides and blending with six rare oils and whipping them up into a cream, this airy blend has the luxurious texture of a rich face cream without feeling suffocating or heavy. "This is the only moisturiser I buy. I’m on my fourth tub of it and nothing hydrates my skin as well as this. It's perfect for people with dry, irritated skin and feels SO soothing on my skin. Plus, it leaves me with this amazing dewy glow that makes me look refreshed and alive in the mornings. Think: skin care staple."
Slaai Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser - Ella, Cult Beauty PR
A must-try for any Drunk Elephant devotee, this clever oil to milk cleanser effectively melts away all traces of dirt, debris, make up and sunscreen – even water-resistant formulations. "I LOVE this! It really removes every. last. trace of make up and excess oil, quite literally melting the day away. Massage it over dry for the best results and let it leave you with a glow from the Gods. If there is ever a repeat product in my basket, this is it and my skin thanks me every time."
C-Firma Day Serum - Tabitha, Cult Beauty Merchandising
This super-potent vitamin C day serum is brimming with antioxidants, essential nutrients and fruit enzymes, all of which work together to firm and brighten the appearance of skin and minimise signs of ageing. "Like a Berocca for my face, this serum packs a serious punch to my skin! All thanks to my fave ingredient vitamin C, it helps boost radiance back into my skin and generally making me look more alive! This unique texture absorbs quickly and layers perfectly under my moisturiser and make up too."
