Must Have Beauty Products For Moms
Odds are when you became a mom your beauty routine severely took a hit in the time allocation department. Sometimes just showering is a win. I’ve been through my fair share of product trial and error looking for those that meet the needs of my new mom beauty routine: quick, natural but still fun.
All of these I have personally tried and are on my must have list. Look to sample some of the below tried and true products for those days when a bit extra concealer is needed or your hair needs that extra spray of dry shampoo.
Hair
Dry shampoo: Every mom needs their dry shampoo staple! Washing and drying your hair can be a massive production that is not do-able every day. Insert dry shampoo to the rescue! Spritz some dry shampoo to absorb oil, remove the grease and by you an extra day in between washes!

Detangler: Grimy kid hands with fistfuls of your hair on the daily. Am I right!? My hair is so knotted by the end of the day, thinking about brushing through it literally makes my skin crawl. It wasn’t until I found the best of the best detanglers to help manage the dreaded feat of brushing through my post mom-bun hair!

Texturizing spray: For those days when your hair needs that extra oomph and volume, use one of these texturizing sprays with some good teasing. You will literally feel like a new person with a fresh blowout and all the bounce in the world. PS. The Oribe one is worth the cost just for the smell alone, it’s amazing!
