🎤 TALK
BEAUTY
TO ME

WITH LIlli Gordon,
@firstaidbeauty

If you’re fighting skin irritation or sensitivities, episode 15 of Talk Beauty to Me can’t get here soon enough! For this week’s tête-à-tête, we caught up with Lilli Gordon, founder of First Aid Beauty, on a recent trip to NYC for a *very* exciting launch: she’s got a new skincare baby called FAB Pharma. Gordon is no stranger to creating cult fave skincare products (a jar of First Aid Beauty’s Ultra Repair Cream is sold every minute) and she tapped into her years of experience when creating this collection. Inspired by classic apothecary ingredients with a focus on solving common skin issues rather then on anti-aging, the pharmacy-style skincare line is an expansion on the brand’s problem-solving mandate. The launch kicked off with the reveal of a fix-it-all salve and an ultra-hydrating mask. Want to know more about this skin-saving duo? Tune in below for the inside scoop on FAB Pharma from Gordon herself and a peek at the super cute event that took place at a Chinatown bar—complete with drink ‘prescriptions’ and pharmacy Rx gift bags 💊.

In the words of Gordon, “everybody needs a good balm” and we couldn’t agree more. This salve works wonders on rough patches, dryness, irritation and chapped lips and is basically your one-stop-shop for winter skin woes. Packed with top soothers like hemp seed oil, colloidal oatmeal and avocado oil, this fix-it-all balm also tames flyaways and won’t leave behind any greasy residue.
