Skincare Essentials
If I could recommend one product, it would be this one. $$ but worth the investment. Has totally transformed my skin and is my botox alternative until I am done breastfeeding and can safely revist the medspa again. Sigh…
The Rich Cream | Augustinus Bader US
Has brightened my skin up so much! Inexpensive and a daily staple in my AM skincare routine.
Vitamin C Serum
My favorite body oil hands down! Clean, smells amazing and doesn't stain my clothes. Its lightweight and absorbs so well into the skin. I apply this daily post-shower!
Undaria Algae® Body Oil I Non-Greasy Moisturizing Oil
THE BEST BODY BUTTER! Feel great about putting this on my body in postpartum - clean and keeps my skin so hydrated.
MUTHA® Body Butter
I slather this on every night before bed. I've found it takes about a quarter size amount to get the most bang for your buck. I wake up every morning with skin that glows and I know it's mostly bc of this thick cream! Love that it doesnt have a scent...
Barrier Restore Cream
The best eye cream. A little $$ but I've tried so many brands and found this one works the best. Clean and powerful - one bottle lasts me ages. A little goes a long way!
holi (glow) ageless eye and lip serum
Keeps my skin GLOOOOOWIN. This + a dry brush have completely transformed the way my skin looks.
The Nudist Exfoliating Body Bar
This step in my PM routine takes all of 5 minutes and feels incredible. I learned about the importance of this practice during a lymphatic massage. Not only has doing it consistently shown me great results but it also feels great and is something I l...
Dry Brush
SPF for my daily stroller walks + park hangs and gives me the illusion of a proper sun kissed tan. Started with the mini size of this and recently upgraded to the big boy. I love this stuff so much! Anything that can double as 2+ things and save me t...
DreamBeam SPF 40 PA++++
Makeup Recs
My favorite clean makeup brands + products! I prioritize finding clean alternatives for the products I use the most and do my best with everything else. It's been a journey but we are getting there!
The best blush! It's a balm - looks dewy, not overpowering and blends really beautifully. Fun fact - this brand was founded by Bobbi Brown, the OG!
Miracle Balm - Jones Road Beauty
Best tinted brow gel. Looks natural and stays on all day! Doesnt rub off or come off too thick like some other brands I've tried. Repurchased this many times!
Brow 1980 Volumizing Mousse
Best Bronzer! I use the shade biscuit (light medium/neutral). Creates the perfect bronzed look and blends beautifully. I use my fingers to rub it in but they have great brushes as well.
Face Trace Contour Stick in Biscuit by Westman Atelier
Lip + Cheek Tint. Anything that can double as 2 different products is a win for me. I keep one of these in my bag to touch up on the go. Looks natural and comes in a range of shades based on skin tone etc.
Lip2Cheek | Natural Cream Blush with Radiant Finish
Haircare!
My skin and hair have never been drier than in postpartum! This leave in conditioner has added an extra, much needed layer of hydration to my dry strands. It also smells amazing so there's that!
The Leave-In Conditioner
My favorite ‘clean’ shampoo. I've yet to find anything that smells better than this exact one by Amika. The entire Amika signature line is excellent!! Been using it for years.
shampoos + conditioners
The BEST hair brush for tangles! I upgraded from my wet brush to this recently. Not only does it untangle my hair so well but it has a built in drain that keeps it clean and extra hygienic. Love love love this brush!
Brushes
I use a little bit of this daily to support my postpartum hair loss recovery efforts! It doesnt make my hair look greasy and takes all of 30 seconds to apply to the areas that need it the most.
Hair Serum
Misc Beauty + Wellness Finds
My most complimented perfume - and this is coming from someone who has a huge (and $$$$) collection. It's (mostly) clean and the one I continue to reach for the most. Perfect everyday scent - not overpowering. Just smells like you but even better :)
Milk Layering + Enhancer Fragrance
My favorite clean deodorant. Aluminum free and the whole line smells AMAZING. I feel great about putting this on my body daily.
Aluminum Free Deodorants
I keep one in my car and one in my stroller - the 2 places I'm near the most these days. Keeps my hands hydrated and smells so good. The bergamot scent (green one) is my fav hands down.
