Beauty Products I Love as a Minimalist
40
items I'm a 29 year old mom with 5 boys, and over the years I've learned how to simplify things more and more, including my beauty and hygiene products.
I'm not the type of person that likes my bathroom or home full of 20 different products of face wash....

As you can see, Good Molecules is one of my favorite brands to use. Their products just work really well for me and are extremely affordable. Consistency is key for seeing results.
I personally have big pores and skin texture/scaring because I suff...
This serum absobs nicely, and it does lighten dark spots with consistent use. So if you have skin discoloration or sun spots, this may help you!
Good Molecules Discoloration Correcting Serum
My absolute favorite moisturizer for the face. I've purchased this 3 times and about to purchase it a 4th time! It's lightweight and absorbs nicely. Sometimes it's also really nice to layer underneath tallow. I prefer not using tallow alone because i...
Good Molecules Lightweight Daily Moisturizer
I love this vitamin C powder. I mix a little bit with my face lotion every other day in the morning. It also lasts awhile and lasts longer because it is in powder form.
Good Molecules Vitamin C Booster Powder
I use this about twice a week in the evenings. Makes my skin tighter and more smooth looking. Good Molecules just has such amazing products for an affordable price tag.
Good Molecules Gentle Retinol Cream with Bakuchiol
These pimple patches are the best ones of all the brands I've tried so far. They stick better to the face and I feel like they also work better. Perfect for breakouts and keeping yourself from wanting to pick your face.
Mighty Patch™ Original Hydrocolloid Acne Patch 72ct
This is amazing on top of my regular moisturizer for when I need some added moisture. I also feel that it helps diminish my breakouts faster when they are occuring.
Whipped Beef Tallow & Honey Balm Moisturizer
I'm in love with this lip scrub. Such simple ingredients and I'm sure it might be easy to make your own, but this is convenient for me and has lasted me a long time. The coconut one is so good and tastes good if you eat some of it. I want to check ou...
Handmade Heroes Natural Coconut Lip Scrub
I apply this daily. Sunscreen is a must! This one leaves my face smooth and absorbs nicely leaving a subtle glow behind.
Centella Sunscreen SPF 50+ Moisturizing
This mask is amazingggg. I just used it last night and I typically use it about once a week. I put it on my face like a mask and then I usually hop in the shower while it sits. Then I rub it in circular motions on my face which produces a warming fee...
DRMTLGY Pumpkin Enzyme Face Mask 5.5 oz
This is my absolute favorite Hydrating Cleanser. One of my favorite ways to use it is to let it sit on my face as a barrier in the shower and it doesn't slide around or drip into my eyes, but I also feel like the steam from the shower helps it absorb...
Good Molecules Hydrating Facial Cleansing Gel
Haircare
I naturally have thicker hair, although I have been suffering from hair loss lately which I've changed some of my products to help out with. I'll share my current hair products by California Naturals as well as the ones I used previously that are mor...
One of the hair brushes I own. I use this one mainly for the kids. (I have to buy a new one actually cause out puppy chewed it up)
WetBrush Original Detangler Black
I love paddle brushes. This one was great especially for when my hair was longer. I still love it and it has held up well. It's also very affordable
Wet Brush Paddle Detangler Hair Brush, Black
I use a silk hair bonnet for sleeping in so thst my hair doesn't get tangled and it stays clean for a longer period of time too. One of the best decisions I've made.
YANIBEST Silk Satin Bonnet Double Layer
As someone who doesn't spend too long styling my hair, I always go for heatless styles most of the time. This heatless curler gives me anazing curls overnight that last me a few days.
Kitsch XL Satin Heatless Curling Set - Chocolate
Oil that I use for the ends of my hair especially between wash days to make sure my ends don't get dry. Keeps them shiny and soft.
Cliganic Organic Argan Oil 100% Pure
Currently the shampoo and conditioner I use for my hair. It's very affordable, smells natural and clean and gives my hair volume. My hair also dries faster when using this.
California Naturals Re:GRO Shampoo & Conditioner Set, 20 oz
This is my favorite product from California Naturals! It smells so so good and it can be applied to your skin as well as your hair. It's like a luxurious lotion you can apply in the shower and it leaves your skin feeling baby soft. I hope they eventu...
California Naturals Deep Repair Hair Mask 12oz
I am currently using this serum to help stop my hair loss and grow my hair out long again. I love the ingredients and I love thst it doesn't make my scalp oily. It feels soothing on my scalp.
California Naturals Men's Re: Gro Anti-Thinning Serum
Leave in conditioner is a must have for a hair care routine. It helps lock in moisture after you shower and this one smells like you went to the salon. It's also buildable but not too heavy.
California Naturals Leave In Conditioner, Coconut Milk, 6 fl oz
I love the material on these and they hold my thicker hair rather well. I also love thst they're silky so they don't pull your hair like most hair ties.
Kitsch Ultra-Petite Satin Scrunchies - 6 pcs
This is the original shampoo and conditioner I was using. And I do love these as well, but they are more expensive for smaller bottles. But the scent is so unique and not too over powering.
Weightless Shampoo & Conditioner Set
This is the more expensive leave in conditioner I was using previously and it works well, but I personally don't like that it has a direct spray. They say they've tested it though and found it to be more effective that way.
Leave-In Conditioner
Oral Care
Best toothpaste hands down! This minty flavor tastes so natural compared to other toothpastes on the market and I also haven't experienced any tooth sensitivity which I would occasionally get prior to using this brand. I've rebought this so many time...
Boka Fluoride Free Nano Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste, Sensitive Teeth, Ela Mint, 4oz 3Pk
I can't stand listerine personally, so this is my go to mouthwash. Tastes natural and leaves my mouth feeling so fresh and minty without overdoing it.
GuruNanda Dual Barrel Oxyburst Whitening Mouthwash Wild Mint 3x20oz
Was looking for a way to whiten my teeth more and I've tried those purple toothpaste tablets for example from other brands which were nasty. With this I simply dip my wet toothbrush and toothpaste into the powder and brush normally.
With consistent...
Boka Teeth Whitening Powder with Probiotics
This floss feels more gentle than other ones and it has a nice flavor. I highly recommend it!
Cocofloss Woven Mint Dental Floss, 33 yd
This is the toothpaste my kids love. I've purchased it multiple times already
Boka Fluoride Free Nano Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste - Orange Cream, 4 oz
Make-Up
This gives me such long looking lashes. It's so worth it! Also the thing about tubing mascara is that it doesn't smudge like typical mascara. When you wash it off you might have to gently pull it off as if your pulling fake lashes off. It actually is...
tartelette Tubing Mascara - Lash Extensions
This is the mascara I use for when I want volume. It does a great job at that!
tarte maneater mascara
Absolute favorite under eye corrector! It's so worth it. It blends so nicely and gets rid of any dark circles or discoloration. The best part is that it's working with your skin to lighten that area as well. So it's like make up and skin care all in ...
DRMTLGY Luminous Tinted Under Eye Cream SPF41
An amazing under eye corrector and blends out pretty smooth. I find that if you wear it for a long period of time it can slightly start to feel like it's caking up (just use powder to help set it), but overall still a great choice compared to many pr...
colored clay cc undereye corrector
Love this powder. Helps set my under eyes and makes my face feel smoother overall giving me a more finished makeup look. Lasts awhile too.
tarte creaseless setting powder
Best foundation I've ever used. I have big pores and skin texture and a little of this goes a long way. I also use the foundation brush to make sure it evenly is applied to my face.
It's perfect for when I want heavier coverage.
tarte face tape foundation
Foundation brush I use to help blend out my foundation easily. Such a good quality brush that I'm sure will last me a long time
tarte The Buffer Airbrush Finish Brush
Shaving
My favorite brand of shaving cream. I've rebought it for years! And sandalwood is probably my favorite scent. They have lots of other scents to choose from as well
Cremo Sandalwood Shave Cream, 6 Fl Oz
My absolute favorite razor of all time. It's a hybrid between safety razor and typical razor. It can pivot but uses the same blades as a safety razor. I haven't bought blades in at least 5 years now. I bought a pack of 100 years ago, and you can brea...
Leaf Shave Rose Gold Metal Razor w/10 Blades
These are the blades I bought like 5+ years ago and still haven't needed to buy new ones. I still have plenty left. Perfect to use with the leaf razor. Just break them in half.
Astra Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades, 100 Count
Having a dermaplaner that you don't throw away after every use and can change the blades out is pretty awesome. These use the same type of blades as the razor which I haven't rebought in like 5+ years.
Leaf Shave Dermaplaner Kit Rose Gold
Body Care
This stuff smells amazing. I especially smell the hint of grapefruit. It also seems to be helping my skin stay more clear.
California Naturals Glow Oil Body Wash, 16.5oz
Hempz is my favorite brand of body lotion. It absorbs nicely and they have so many scents to choose from. I love the simple vanilla scent.
