Skincare is the foundation of any beauty influencer’s everyday life, and the Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Moisturizer is essentially a love letter to their complexion.

The ceramides in the product are an absolute game-changer, fixing the barrier of the skin that gets destroyed by endless product trials something that all influencers can attest to.
I recall leaving this to a friend who is constantly testing new foundations and serums for her YouTube reviews. She was losing her mind about how it became her holy grail for soothing her skin after all-day shoots. It is not a product, it’s an instant of self-treat that responds, “I notice how much care you’ve taken to preserve your glowing skin.” And with its non-toxic, natural ingredients that are in concurrence with the ethical beauty care trend, it’s a considerate purchase for influencers looking to be careful about what they use on their skin.

Having been sucked in by the Sol de Janeiro craze (those Bum Bum Cream vids are my kryptonite), I can confirm that this set is a winner for anyone seeking a nice fragrance.
These scents aren’t simply about smelling great They’re about projecting an energy. The mini-perfumes are ideal for influencers who are always on the move, whether it’s flying to a brand event or videotaping a GRWM in a hotel room.
