The first product I started trying a few weeks ago is the adaptive day cream. Y’all this stuff is light as a feather and feels SO good on your skin. It’s a mousse like consistency, which I love because I feel like so many moisturizers are a little too heavy for my skin. This priming moisturizer is the perfect boost of hydration. One thing that I think really sets it apart as a moisturizer is that it also kind of serves as a primer, in that it blurs imperfections and balances your skin’s tone and texture. I also love that it can both deliver extra hydration AND help absorb any excess oil. So many moisturizers focus completely on delivering intense hydration, which can result in a super oily complexion either immediately or later on in the day. I didn’t have that problem once with this day cream! My skin had a really balanced complexion throughout the day. I recommend using this as your morning moisturizer. And honestly, you only need a pea sized amount – a little goes a long way!
When I first read the name of the product and before I even read what all it did, I was like umm.. sign me up. Doesn’t a plumping pillow facial just sound like a dream?! This facial is essentially an overnight mask that both hydrates + plumps the skin. You apply it as the last step in your nighttime skincare routine and then rinse it off first thing in the morning. Moisture is one of the moist essential pieces to having a youthful, glowing complexion. Anytime your skin is dehydrated, it instantly gives you a more aged, tired look.
Y’all know I am always looking for good face masks and this one quickly became a new favorite! I’ve honestly never used a face mask quite like this thousand flower mask. First off, it’s made with everything from flower buds to nutrient-rich soil. I know, that may sound kind of odd right off the bat but I’m telling you it is such a great mask for your skin! You can use this about 2-3 times a week and it works well on all skin types. It majority replenishes moisture and antioxidants to your skin, resulting in a smoother, more healthy looking complexion. Pro tip: don’t forget to use all skincare products (including masks!) down to your neck. That skin also needs all the TLC!

I’ll be honest: I’ve used a ton of eye creams and found a lot of them to be extremely disappointing. They feel nice to apply, but they don’t end up making any noticeable difference in the long run. But this eye recovery cream legit works, y’all. It helps with everything from puffiness to dark circles to even those fine lines/crows feet around the eye area. I would say I noticed a difference within the first two weeks of using it. I kind of geeked out when researching this product, so just bear with me haha. I would say the ingredients in Elemis products are what majorly set it apart from other skincare lines. Elemis is the first company to use this oil from the night scented stock flower, which is loaded up with fatty acids and vitamin E. Those ingredients (which are in this eye cream and I think some other products too!) are majorly essential for any skincare routine! They help restore elasticity and balance out your skin’s texture. Anytime you’re using an eye cream, be sure to pat it in rather than simply rubbing it into your skin.
