A Beauty Editor and Her Mom Swapped Skincare Routines—And Here's What Happened

ELLE.com Beauty Director Chloe Hall certainly knows her way around a skincare routine, but she recently got some product recommendations from an unlikely source: her mom, Dee.

After spending countless weeks

slowly stealing each other's products while living together in California during quarantine, they decided to take their stealth skincare sampling to the next level. In the video above, they swap their entire skincareroutines, exchanging valuable tips they’ve picked up over the years along the way.

Neither has been to a brick-and-mortar retailer to do their skincare shopping lately. Instead, they’ve turned to Dermstore for all of their beauty buys. It's a pro-approved retailer with a highly curated selection of top-rate skincare, makeup, and hair care—and they both swear by the stashes they've accumulated from their Dermstore hauls.

After going through the other's start-to-finish lineup, they've even converted one another to some of their absolute favorites. For Chloe, it’s important to find a sunscreen that doesn’t leave a cast: she’s struck gold with the Skin Cancer Foundation-approved Elta MD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46, which the (admittedly) SPF neglectful Dee promptly added to her own lineup.

For Dee, a neck cream that hydrates and firms is a must. Her go-to product is NEOCUTIS Neo Firm Neck & Décolleté Tightening Cream, and she might have to head to Dermstore for a restock soon. “This neck cream is now my neck cream!” said Chloe after testing out the formula.

Check out the video to see Chloe and Dee’s full routines (plus a welcome dose of mother-daughter bonding), and shop their favorites below.
