Meet Frida Uncensored, the Unfiltered Guide to Women’s Sexual Health

Say hello to honest, educational how-tos on conception, pregnancy, and postpartum care.

When you’re feeling burnt out, the effects are often written all over your face. Lack of sleep lowers your natural moisture levels and slows down cell turnover, and while “tired skin” isn’t a clinical term, it often means skin that looks “dehydrated, dull, less than firm, or sun-damaged,” explains Hadley King, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in New York. Sure, eight solid hours of shuteye and ample hydration throughout the day can certainly help, but if you want to wake up in the morning looking fresh and on top of your game, Elemis Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix Duo (now $145) is here to help. And the best part is that now through April 30th, this celeb-beloved set is on sale at QVC for 30% off. Better yet, new customers get $30 off a $60 or more purchase with code HELLO30.

Elemis is popular among celebrities like Catherine Zeta-Jones, Victoria Beckham, Kate Hudson thanks to its aromatherapy-inspired formulations. This product is no different, with the infusion of eucalyptus giving off spa-like vibes. We also love that this formula addresses dull-looking skin with a stacked set of ingredients, which explains why skin pros call it a “cup of coffee” for your complexion. Dr. King specifically references its humectants (“they help hydrate the skin, which can help the complexion look more plump”), emollients (“which support the skin barrier and can help the skin look healthier”), chemical exfoliants (“to help skin look more fresh and polished”), and antioxidants (“which can help protect the skin from free radical, sun exposure, and pollution damage”) as the best-in-class basics for giving sleepy skin a boost.

Beyond these basics, the moisturizer takes things one step further with a blend of potent, naturally-derived actives like microalgae to help improve hydration and the look of stressed skin. The texture is rich and custard-like in the jar, but magically melts into the skin like a lightweight gel cream when you apply. The instant effects include a bouncy, healthy complexion—a true glow—while the latent effects (the ones that have been clinically studied) include a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, with improved firmness and elasticity.

Apply a pea-size amount into your hands and warm together, then apply to the face and decollete. Soon enough, you’re skin will appear well-rested until you can squeeze in a solid night’s sleep.
