DRUNK ELEPHANT SKINCARE SYSTEM (CHANGE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT SKIN CARE)


Update Feb. 10 2015- Drunk Elephant is now available through Sephora 


So I was sent by one of the founding partners of DRUNK ELEPHANT a very unique skincare system that I would like to share with you all. THANK YOU


The system consists of (2) 4oz cleansing bars, 30ml Glycolic T.L.C Framboos night serum, 100ml Blok sheer physical defense, 30ml C-Firma Day Serum and the star of the show 30ml 100% fragrance free Virgin Marula Luxury facial oil.


So the idea here is to wash your face with the mild 3in1 JUJU BAR which helps to gently exfoliate and cleanse the delicate facial skin. This bar has thermal mud, 20% glycerin, and bamboo powder which helps give this bar its creamy lather.


The things I love most about this bar is that there is no detergent or fragrance and only contain ingredients that are ideal for everyone even those with extremely sensitive skin. I like that it makes my face feel clean, but no crazy fragrance while washing.
Besides the immediate benefits which is removing makeup, debris and oil from the skin the JuJu bar will also give you a more refine texture to the skin with time, while brightening and minimizing enlarged pores.

You then will follow up by using the

C-FIRMA DAY SERUM 15% L-ASCORBIC ACID PUMPKIN FERMENT EXTRACT
This highly potent Vitamin C serum packs a punch of powerful antioxidants, nutrients, and fruit enzymes. Chronopeptide helps to plump the skin as it transforms into vitamin D and works seamlessly with the other ingredients to promote healthier, less aged looking skin due to the skin being over exposed to damaging UV rays.




The C-Firma Day Serum has what is called a "RESERVOIR EFFECT" which means it will continue to provide your skin with it's many benefits for up to a staggering 72 hours. No worries it doesn't wash or rub off. This product can even be smoothed over you hair if it tends to be dull and you would like to add a little shine. I won't be doing that though my hair is oily enough.

To complete the morning routine finalize with the applying 30 minutes prior to sun exposure
BLOK SHEER PHYSICAL DEFENSE
This is a broad-spectrum sun block that delivers the highest quality ingredients to provide excellent UV protection as well as working hard to defend your skin from unsightly wrinkles.
The standout ingredients are sunflower shoot extract, Astaxanthin which is a carotenoid, Marula oil for it's great moisture benefits. Also something I never knew Raspberry seed oil which is nature's most powerful sunscreen (VERY COOL TO KNOW.)




So once your day is over and your getting ready for bed you'll want to start your night regime by using the


PEKEE EVERYDAY BAR
This bar is a great multi-tasker that will get rid of all the unwanted impurities on your skin from your day of being exposed to many environmental factors. However its gentle and will not disturb the skins natural balance of oils.


The Pekee bar has blueberry extract, green tea, marula oil and honey. It will lovingly give your skin much needed moisture with it's rich lather, while helping to retain elasticity and firmness.

After washing your face you will need to apply


GLYCOLIC T.L.C. FRAMBOOS NIGHT SERUM
This serum has a very nice light weight lubricant feel to it. It will allow other products to perform better by clearing the way for better absorption. This Glycolic serum has a lot of beneficial ingredients such as citric, tartaric, lactic and salicylic acids, along with Raspberry, horse chestnut, bearberry and white tea that aide in calming the skin.




What are the benefits of this night serum? Do you have fine lines, wrinkles or pre-signs of aging, hyperpigmentation, excess oiliness, acne and enlarged pores. While this serum may be just the thing to allow a more beautiful facial surface show through, with smoother more clear complexion.
AHA'S can often becoming more irritating to the skin if not formulated correctly, which again I was not aware of and could be why I had many problems in the past testing out various products. However Drunk Elephants intuitive formulation with cactus plant enzymes help to reduce this unnecessary irritation. There is only a tiny bit of tingle when I apply this serum, but nothing that feels like it is harming my skin or causing it to flare up.

lastly once your skin has dried then you will apply

VIRGIN MARULA LUXURY FACIAL OIL
I don't know! but there is something very powerful about Marula oil. I am so glad I have had the opportunity to try it.
Taken straight from the pip of the Marula fruit which is it's inner seed and then virtually untouched by any chemical or fragrance, natural or synthetic, is kept in tact to the purest form. 
Since I have been trying this out I truly feel my skin has never looked better. I believe a lot of mystery and magic lie within Africa and so much more has yet to be discovered about the plants, fruits and animals indigenous to that region.




If your looking for the purest solution to give you an overall glowing beautiful complexion I highly recommend this Marula facial oil. I recommend this beyond Argan oil.

I would like to thank Tiffany for giving me the opportunity to try out these fine products and being able to share them with the rest of you.

I really hope that when the new website is up and running, you all have the opportunity to try out these products. I hope that "DRUNK ELEPHANT" has much success with a line of very gentle, natural products that will surely change your perception of what is good for our skin.
I have learnt a lot from reading the information provided to me, especially about thinking a product is natural when it really isn't. Also learning the lingo that many companies use to mask ingredients that are in fact irritants to our skin and we don't even realize it.

Also you will purchase these products with comfort of knowing they are cruelty free & gluten free. Drunk Elephant also supports Recycle for Earth's Sake, is a P.E.T.A member, and foremost a supporter of the IEF( International Elephant Foundation). This pulls at my heart strings because I think the most beautiful, highly intellectual, caring and compassionate large animal is the Elephant, they are deeply shrouded in mystery which in some cases are better left unknown and add to that enigmatic way that we as Elephant lovers appreciate.

STAY BEAUTIFUL
