Not a perfume and not a room spray, this fragrance is meant to be an overall calming mist designed for the face and body. It mixes phytoncides (found in forest air), vitamin D (what you get from sunlight), and fulvic acid and microalgae (to mimic the microbiome boost you get from the outdoors). The scent is a  subtle blend of cypress, hinoki, spruce, Japanese mint, and pine.

• How to pop a pimple yourself, according to Dr. Pimple Popper's tips Insider producer Celia Skvaril video chatted with Dr. Sanda Lee, aka Dr. Pimple Popper, to get her professional advice on how to pop a pimple at home.

Lee offered her tips on how to best minimize the risk of scarring and further infection when popping your own pimples, like attempting to pop only superficial whiteheads and properly sterilizing the pimple and tools both before and after popping. Following Lee's tips, Celia attempted to pop her own whitehead at home. For more from Dr. Pimple Popper, visit: https://slmdskincare.com/ https://www.instagram.com/drpimplepopper/ INSIDER
