When it comes to my beauty routine, it's all about skin & skincare these days. As a mom, I'm all about simple yet effective, and that philosophy extends to what’s inside my beauty bag. While my job does allow me to try a lot of amazing products, here are a handful of trusted, hardworking essentials that have earned their space on my shelf.
On days I'm doing full makeup, Merit’s Instant Glow Serum is my go-to. It’s lightweight, dewy, and perfect for that everyday glow. A couple nights a week, I use Summer Friday's Jet Lag Overnight Eye Serum - it's super hydrating and smoothing with a gentle retinol blend. I also love their daily mineral milk sunscreen.
I've been layering my serums and nothing is the gold standard like La Mer's The Concentrate. I also love Colleen Rothschild's Vitamin C with niacinamide (this is a powerful serum at an approachable price) and have also been alternating with this anti-wrinkle serum (for that glass skin look.)
For body care, of course I don’t go anywhere without Nēmah’s Nourishing Belly Oil. It’s not just for mamas—the hydrating, fast-absorbing formula is perfect for anyone looking for silky smooth skin (and the scent is heavenly). And because I've been on a hair health journey, Ceremonia’s Scalp Oil is a must. I like to leave it on my scalp overnight before I wash my hair to get the max benefits. If you follow my stories, you know I've sung the praises of this brightening eye cream - it's like a concealer and eye cream in one (this tired mama needs.)
I've also been traveling with my chocolate brown velvet Beauty Bag from our One Wednesday x Nēmah collab.
