Lingerie brand Lively originally intended to create an affordable skincare range for frequent travelers but the pandemic inspired the brand to pivot and focus its efforts on at-home care and becoming more comfortable in one's own skin. As founder Michelle Cordeiro Grant revealed to Allure, "What started out as being more comfortable in a bra has also transformed into wearing less eye makeup, less foundation, less and less and less. Our community has been on that same journey."
Lively's own skincare range now includes a face mists, a sleep mask and a lip balm—three comforting essentials that help to provide a sense of comfort and self-pampering during the increased time spent at home. The comforting trio boasts ingredients like Vitamin E and C, pink rose oil, grapefruit seed and replenishing hyaluronic acid.
