At Stella McCartney, a Face Oil for Your Bikini Line

From ELLE

We rely on Stella McCartney's fashion show for cool prints, cruelty-free accessories, and at least one ingenious move with denim-on-denim. But yesterday in Paris, we found all those things...plus a new potion for the bikini line.

It's called UFO, and it's a green-tinted face oil from Sunday Riley with 1.5% salicylic acid, designed to stop acne, clear pores, and smooth fine lines from the face. Stella McCartney's models wore it to help give their skin an otherworldly glow (or at least a Stranger Things vibe) on the catwalk, but certain models also used it while prepping their bikini lines for the collection's shorter hemlines.

"Salicylic acid is notoriously over-drying, leaving your skin stripped and looking irritated," says Riley. "By infusing it into clarifying oils (like tea tree oil and black cumin seed oil), the drying effects of salicylic acid are nipped in the bud."

Translation: You can use it to hydrate and matte-ify your skin, and prevent ingrown hairs, too. And there's one more reason your bathroom counter is about to become an Alien nation: guys can use the unique formula as aftershave.

Considering Stella McCartney's new menswear line is imminent, we'd say the timing is pretty perfect...
