I’ve already shared my work uniform and my go-to quick hair styles. Today I want to walk you through the products I use in my morning and evening beauty routine—the items I truly reach for every day.
Before we begin: these are products I actually use. I purchased most of them myself (one was a gift from a friend), and they’re genuine favorites I keep repurchasing or carrying with me.
Below are the products that make up my everyday skin, body, and hair care routine, used mornings and/or nights.
One of my favorite body moisturizers is Korres body butter in jasmine. The scent is incredible, and I apply it to my arms and legs after a shower or whenever my skin feels dry.
For when I’m out and about, I keep Herbivore’s jasmine body oil in my purse. It gives skin a subtle glow compared with a thicker body butter, so it’s great when you want radiance on the go. Clearly I have a soft spot for jasmine—half of my routine features that scent.
Dry shampoo is a must since I don’t wash my hair every day. Alder New York’s hair powder works really well between washes. The 4 oz bottle lasts a long time—so long that the packaging changed since I first bought it.
Bath salts are a treat I save mostly for evenings when I take a bath (not every night). Sometimes I make my own, and sometimes I buy them. One of the bottles I love was actually a gift from a friend, and I often reach for it when I want a calming soak.
For facial care, I use Josie Maran’s Pure Argan Milk moisturizer on my face. I’ve also used Algenist’s anti-aging moisturizer with SPF in the past; it’s pricier but effective, especially if you want a moisturizer that includes sun protection.
Finally, my go-to hand cream—and one I’ve tested against many others—is the Grown Alchemist hand cream. The blend of vanilla and orange peel smells like an orange creamsicle. Expect compliments, and maybe jokes from friends about how delicious it smells.
