I’m a little over 1 year into motherhood and postpartum and wow…have I learned a lot about myself. As a new mom, you’re constantly serving other people; whether it’s your baby or your husband, you tend to put others ahead of yourself. Trust me, I’ve been there! One of the biggest things that I’ve learned is the importance of taking care of yourself. Whether that’s an “everything shower” or some simple skincare, it’s key to pour into yourself as you do for others. With that said, I’ve rounded up my ultimate list of self-care faves that have truly helped me feel like myself again!

Body

• hanni Splash Salve: An absolute game-changer when it comes to shaving! After you shave, you apply the Splash Salve, quickly rinse it off and pat to dry. This product leaves your skin buttery smooth leaving you extra hydrated, so you can forgo applying body lotion afterwards! To get an even better shave, exfoliate with a brush or wash cloth. Seriously so easy!
• OSEA Undaria Algae Body Oil: Want even more hydrated after you shave? Lather up with this body oil! This product is a clinically proven seaweed-infused body oil that instantly improves skin elasticity and delivers deep moisturization. Pro-tip: Apply to stretch marks to help with the appearance of fine lines!
• Flamingo 5-Blade Women’s Razor: Back to shaving…this has been my favorite razor as of late! It’s affordable helps me achieve a close, comfortable shave that I don’t get from other razors. You can find this at Target or most drugstores!
• Nécessaire The Body Wash: This product is definitely a splurge but if you love luxury body soaps, this will easily be your new favorite! The eucalyptus scent alone makes me look forward to taking a shower!
• Nécessaire The Body Serum: Same goes for this body serum! Both of these products elevate your self-care night and small oh-so luxurious.
• OUAI St. Barts Cleansing Scalp & Body Sugar Scrub: Need a deeper exfoliation? This sugar scrub not only smells amazing but really gets all the dead skin off before shaving! This is also super great if you’re trying to rub off your old self-tanner as well!

Hair

• IN COMMON Magic Myst 4-in-1 Universal Elixir: This has been my favorite leave-in conditioner for awhile now! It gently hydrates and protects hair without weighing it down. It also doubles as a heat protectant before blowdrying your hair!
• Tangle Teezer Ultimate Detangler Hair Brush: The only detangler brush I use! I started using this when I had my hair extensions in and have continued using it over the years.
• Kitsch Rosemary Oil: As a new mom, you’re probably dealing with a little hair loss and thinning, so this scalp oil is definitely for you! This rosemary hair oil for hair growth, a hair serum treatment with a gentle yet effective formula works on all hair types to loosen buildup and nourish the scalp prior to shampooing.
• dae Prickly Pear Hair Oil: I absolutely love the versatility of this product! You can use on dry hair to smooth, soften, and style, on damp hair as a detangler and to prevent breakage, or overnight on dry hair as a hydrating treatment.
• OUAI Treatment Mask for Fine and Medium Hair: My favorite leave-in treatment mask! Sometimes I’ll put this in my hair in the morning and leave it in throughout the day and rinse it out before bed. Smells incredible and doesn’t weigh down my thin hair!
• Kitsch Satin Heatless Curling Set: I don’t always do heatless curls but when I do, I always grab my Kitsch ones! They’re super easy to use and even more comfy to sleep in. Definitely a hack to help me wake up feeling semi-put together!
• amika Mirrorball High Shine + Protect Antioxidant Shampoo: Been loving all things amika lately and this shampoo is no exception! Like all these other products it smells amazing but also leaves my hair with the most gorgeous shine.

Skincare

• Naturium Vitamin C Complex Face Serum: Products with Vitamin C have easily been a favorite of mine and I’ve been loving this face serum by Naturium lately! It helps give my a skin a healthy glow and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. When applying products with Vitamin C, be sure to follow with sunscreen!
• Sponge Spa Headband: I think we’re all familiar with this headband by now! I love these because it helps keep my hair out of my face for when I’m doing my skincare, makeup or even a face mask.
• Drunk Elephant Protini™ Polypeptide Firming Moisturizer: If you struggle with your skin looking dull, this one’s for you! This protein moisturizer combines signal peptides, growth factors, amino acids, and pygmy waterlily to improve the appearance of skin’s tone, texture, and firmness.
• Paulas Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant: Listen…I get the Paula’s Choice hype now! This exfoliant is made with 2% BHA (Beta hydroxy acid) to unclog and diminish enlarged pores, exfoliate dead skin cells, smooth wrinkles and brighten and even out skin tone. This combats redness, wrinkles, aging, enlarged pores, & blackheads. 
• Schick Hydro Silk Touch-Up Exfoliating Dermaplaning Tool: My favorite little tool for derma planing my face and shaping up my eyebrows! Comes in a pack of three or nine on Amazon.
• iNNBEAUTY PROJECT Keep It Clean Hydrating Gel Cleanser: This is not your average makeup remover! So many of the cheap ones are made with harmful irritants and things that should not be put on your skin. The iNNBEAUTY PROJECT cleanser is hydrating and softening that removes makeup, dirt and excess oil without drying the skin.
• iNNBEAUTY PROJECT Bright & Tight Dark Circle Firming Eye Cream: From the same brand as above, I’ve been loving this firming eye cream! It cools and brightens my under eyes which is perfect for every day…and the days you don’t get that much sleep haha!
• fresh Mini Floral Recovery Overnight Mask: I’ve tried many overnight masks and this one from fresh has been my recent go-to! It helps soothe and hydrate my skin overnight.

That’s my roundup of recent self-care products I’ve been loving! Whether you’re a new mom or you’re looking to add some new products into your self-care routine, I hope this is helpful for you! Let me know what products I should round up next.
