So good to have on hand, especially for those really tough areas that just can’t get enough hydration (like my crusty heels)
Moisturizing Cream
I occasionally get super dry spots around my eyes and lips and vitamin E oil is so good for those trouble spots. Gentle on your face and super moisturizing.

Drugstore prices, high quality skincare! I love vitamin C serums, super brightening especially when pregnancy hormones are wacky

Niacinamide serum is one I used religiously while I dealt with horrible postpartum acne, really helped with oil production and smoothing my skin!

I throw this in the freezer and use it to depuff my eyes in the mornings, it’s so soothing and really elevates your skincare routine!

If you need a gentle, scent-free cleanser this is the one! Especially for sensitive skin this is the best, super cleansing and gentle!

I love this when I’m not pregnant, I try to limit how much I use salicylic acid during pregnancy but best believe as soon as baby comes out I’m going back to this!
Acne Control Cleanser | Salicylic Acid Treatment
Also love for when I’m not pregnant, it does have menthol so it gives your skin that cooling tingly feeling but I’ve never had it irritate my skin! Super effective on acne prone skin

My skin went through a lot of phases, their gentle cleanser was great during horrible acne breakouts, and the purifying cleanser was great after my skin healed!

I use this for a gentle eye makeup remover, because mascara is terrible to wash off!
