The Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Wipes are ultra soft and remove everything—including waterproof mascara. These are extremely gentle and great for all skin types.
Clean & Clear isn’t just for teenagers, you guys! If you’re like me and still get those pesky breakouts well into your thirties, you’re not alone. Also, it’s not fair. I really like simple cleansers without a bunch of added exfoliants (no salicylic acid in this one) , and this one fits the bill. The Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser is a gentle cleanser that contains Vitamin C and Ginseng. The citrus scent is perfect for spring.
I love a good toner to remove any extra traces of dirt and makeup and to give me a gentle exfoliation. This Clean & Clear Lemon Juice Toner is alcohol free! It contains Vitamin C and lemon, which is a gentle exfoliant. Not only is this great for acne-prone skin, it’s also ideal for anti-aging. Exfoliation definitely helps in both cases! Also, can we talk about how cute this packaging is? It screams spring!
If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know that hyaluronic acid is one of my favorite skincare ingredients. It’s weightless hydration and really does an amazing job of keeping the skin plump. The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Serum is a fantastic affordable option that contains purified hyaluronic acid. It’s completely lightweight, not greasy, and will not clog your pores. If you move away from heavier moisturizers in the spring, this is a fabulous product to incorporate.
Sun protection is of utmost importance in any stage of your skincare journey. I always look for mineral SPF when it comes to my daytime moisturizers. First of all, it’s safer for pregnancy. I’ve also found that it gets less greasy than chemical sunscreens, and you also avoid the sunscreen smell. Options can be limited at the drugstore, but luckily the Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer with Sunscreen SPF 30 is an amazing option. It contains mineral sunscreen, is a very light and weightless texture, and is fragrance-free.
If you’re looking to do a little extra exfoliation, check out the Aveeno Positively Radiant 60 Second In-Shower Facial. It’s a 1-minute mask that you apply in the shower, leave on for 1 minute, gently massage, and rinse. The active exfoliant in this particular product is glycolic acid, which is generally safe in pregnancy. This product only needs to be used 1-2 times a week.
***Since I am pregnant, I cannot use any retinols, but that is 100% something I would suggest incorporating if you haven’t already (and are not pregnant). The Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair is a great affordable option that I’ve used in the past.***
