Winter might be long gone (can I get an amen!?) but the change of season has really thrown my skin into a frenzy! Between changing diapers, making all the snacks, playing outside, making more snacks, and washing my hands all the dang time—I am in desperate need of extra hydration when it comes to my skin! Not to mention all the gardening + playing with flowers that have left my hands in need of a fix…
Y’all know I’m a huge beauty junkie + really value skincare and I was so lovingly gifted a few products to try out along with some fan favourites that I’ve been loving for years. I thought I’d share a few that I’ve been enjoying + that have been bringing some extra needed super hydrating self-care into this mamacita’s life. And self care is where it’s at these days—in all it’s amazing forms.
Now, It’s been a hot minute since I’ve had a long soak or used a bath oil but it was such a freaking treat to use the Keri Moisturizing Bath Oil. It is light and has a very delicate fragrance that feels luxe. I’m typically not a fan of products that contain a fragrance but I was pleasantly surprised by this oil—you really don’t need a ton either! I like that it felt velvety and made my skin feel super smooth—it was almost like being at a spa. I used it during a shower as opposed to the bath (and it felt nice, reaaaal nice).
Okay. Now. Y’all. I loooove me some face masks + I’ll more often than not have on my EVER purify mask or a super cute sheet mask like these ones. Andddd I’ve been known to look like Frankenstein with this Amazonian clay mask—the kids love when I use this one most because my face gets dry + they laugh their faces off that I can’t move my face. ANYWAY. I tried this new mask by Freeman Beauty and I loved it! It felt nice on my face and left my skin feeling infused + hydrated. I love how this line is easily accessible anddddd has something for everyone’s complexion! Definitely a fun little addition into the face mask mix.
Anyone else feel like their lips are so parched and just needing so much moisture?! I always feel extra dehydrated everywhere at the turn of the season (also with three little ones, I literally live off coffee…) and I was so excited to use Lypsyl again! I don’t think I’ve owned one of these bad boys for years and what a dang shame because helloooo coconut oil and beeswax, I love you! And I tried real hard y’all to hide this from Eloise but she’s kinda obsessed with all things lip chap, lip gloss, and lip stick so it’s no longer mine, ha! But it was so wonderful while it lasted those 0.7820 seconds! I’ve since replaced my own because that cherry flavour gives me the 90’s nostalgia vibes and I am here for it. Now if I could just get on board with the straight legged jeans…
OK. SO. I’ve loved this brand for years! I remember my aunt having some J.R. Watkins soap at her home + cottage and feeling like it was such a treat to use it. Ha. I realize how dorky that makes me but ugh, it was just the nicest soap! I’ve been a major fan + you may recall I have their eucalyptus bath salts (which was a game changer for me in the winter) and here I am with the most gorgeous hand cream. Honestly, the fact that it is grapefruit alone makes me feel happy—that citrus scent is so fresh and perfect for spring. Andddd with all the excessive hand washing and hand sanitizer and diaper changes and gardening, and more hand washing, my hands are dryyyyy + cracked. And they hurt. I love how this company is Leaping Bunny Certified, non-greasy, and plant-based! The hand lotion tube is the perfect size + I just pop it in my backpack and boom! Happiness! I’m OBSESSED.
Trying new products and loving on old faithfuls are just so much fun + I encourage you to take some time to get a soak in, throw on a fun mask, or pamper your hands with an uplifting and beautiful hand cream! Oh! And drink your water! I can’t get behind the big plastic jugs with time markers to remind me to chug my water + I very much need a post it stuck on my forehead to keep that reminder going because y’all, when we drink water and plenty of it, it does wonders for our body! Hydration is key! Drink your water!
What are your favourite products or ways that you take care of your skin during season changes!? I wanna know!
