Skin care isn't just for seasoned professionals. Younger consumers are becoming interested earlier than ever (think of the rise of “Sephora kids“), and brands have had to think about what's actually in their formulas (and what's being left out). The one who does it right is Bubble skin carea playful, ingredient-conscious brand that has built a loyal following thanks to its affordable prices (all under $20!), colorful packaging, and gentle, fragrance-free formulas that won't overwhelm sensitive skin. But what I love most is that it suits everyone, from skin care newbies to those looking for a simple yet effective method. And I'm clearly not the only one who thinks so; Leighton Meester, the brand's first ambassador, is also a longtime fan who regularly turns to Bubble products.
Bubble and Mister's collaboration began with the brand's first campaign, Radical Joy, starring the Gossip Girl alum playfully posing with her favorite products—and she has several, might I add. As stated Elleher skin-care routine is “pretty simple” in the sense that she sticks to basic skin-care steps, relying entirely on the line beloved by Gen Z. “I cleanse morning and night,” she told the publication. “[When] I wash my face in the morning, I need the foam to appear. I really like it Soft Launch Moisturizing Cleansing Cream ($17). It's very creamy and doesn't irritate my skin at all. I think the real test of peeling is: If you don't apply moisturizer afterwards, will your face feel tight?”
Then there's toner, a concept she admits she was skeptical of for a while but has now completely changed. Cosmic Silk Moisturizing Milk Toner ($16) – “A really great product for hydrating your skin and clearing it up,” she says, adding that her best gel moisturizer for her acne-prone skin is this Level Up Balancing Moisturizing Gel ($16). According to the brand, other essentials in her daily life include adorably packaged Talk Back Loud & Clear Hydrating Lip Serum ($12) and, for added brightness, Day Dream Toning and texturizing serum ($17).
There's plenty to love about Mister's line, as is the campaign, simple yet powerful, summed up perfectly in the Instagram caption accompanying their photo shoot: “Our secret to happy skin is always JOY ✨ Dermatologist-developed, clinically proven formulas plus fun.” Who said skin care has to be so serious?”
