Drunk Elephant TLC Sukari Babyfacial

&ldquo;This really is the closest thing you can get to a facial at home; I love how it tingles. It has 25% AHA and 2% BHA blend of glycolic, salicylic, lactic, citric and tartaric acid to deeply exfoliate, minimize appearance of pores and smooth texture. It genuinely works and I wake up with super glowy, soft skin.&rdquo; <br /><br /><a href="https://go.skimresources.com?id=38395X987171&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=Ewoma-KristenAiken-051721-&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.com%2Fproduct%2Ft-l-c-sukari-babyfacial-P415777"><strong>Get Drunk Elephant TLC Sukari Babyfacial for $80.</strong></a>
