My Must-Have Mumma Beauty Products
If you didn’t already know this about me, I love self-care, and just generally pampering myself. It makes me feel so good and refreshed. When I take care of myself, I’m instantly in a good mood, I feel more motivated to get things done, go out, meet people, and I honestly feel like an overall better parent to my daughter. Happy mum, happy baby - am i right?! Since becoming a parent, I almost feel like I want to take care of myself even more than I ever have done before. So… Here are just a few of my favorite/feel-good/aesthetically-pleasing/vegan-friendly/must-have products that I literally cannot live without:
Summer Fridays Super Amino Gel Cleanser
Okay… If you haven’t heard of Summer Fridays, you are totally missing out. I absolutely love their products and they all have serious shelf appeal. Their Jet Lag Face Mask is one of my staples - it is super rich, hydrating, moisturizing, and you don’t need to wash it off - which I love. I take this everywhere with me. Summer Fridays have also recently come out with a Super Amino Gel Cleanser, and this is now my go-to. This brand is just an all-round YES from me, and their products are a must-have for your skin.
PRISM 20% AHA + 5% BHA Exfoliating Glow Facial
I know this is another skin-care product, but it’s actually necessary that you get your hands on one of these. Herbivore is, again, another one of my favorite brands. Their packaging is on point, and their products are truly amazing. Try the PRISM Exfoliating Glow Facial - and you will just thank me forever. I promise. Go, go, go!
Aesop Reverence Aromatique Hand Wash
I have tried Aesop’s skin-care products (obviously) and their hand soaps. For me, their skin-care range actually made my skin feel dryer than normal (I have really dry skin naturally), so as much as I love this brand - the skin-care wasn’t for me. For anyone who has naturally oily skin, it’s definitely worth trying out their skin-care line. However, we LOVE their hand soaps and have them in all of our bathrooms. Personal preference: I like hand soaps without an exfoliator — we have the Reverence Aromatique Hand Wash, and won’t go back to any other soap. It’s really smooth and your hands feel so soft, clean and fresh afterwards.
Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer
I have always loved Too Faced as a brand. Their make up always applies so well, I love pretty much all of their lipstick colors, and their packaging is cute AF. A few of my favorite products are the Better Than Sex Mascara, Natural Nudes Lipsticks in Rosy Beige (nice for every day), the Lip Injection Extreme Lip Plumper (this was a game changer for me - definitely worth trying), and the Chocolate Soleil Bronzer (yes, it actually has real cocoa powder in). Mmmm.
OUAI Rose Hair & Body Oil
I love, love, love body oils! I way prefer using an oil on my skin over a cream. Oil just feels so much more luxurious and hydrating. One of my favorites is the OUAI Rose Hair & Body Oil. I love the smell, it’s super moisturizing, and it also doubles up as a perfume - win win. If you haven’t used OUAI before, definitely check them out. All of their products are very reasonably priced and feel/look luxurious.
WANDER Beauty Baggage Claim Rose Gold Eye Masks
After a long night of having little to no sleep, concealer can only do so much. Eye masks are therefore an essential for those SOS moments and for all of you tired Mumma’s out there. Ever wake up with dry, puffy, dark circles? Well, eye gel masks are soothing on the delicate skin underneath your eyes, hydrating, and seriously refreshing. I mean… Even if they just help you feel more awake, it’s worth it right?! I love the Wander Beauty Rose Gold Eye Mask (the Rose Gold is limited-edition only). This mask has three layers, and contains hyaluronic acid that delivers intense hydration to your skin, decreasing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Beauty Hack: If you want to feel that much more refreshed, buy yourself a mini beauty fridge and keep your eye masks in there. Putting on a cool eye mask in the AM really reduces puffiness, and just feels so damn good!
