Alex Drummond has shared her skincare routine over the past couple of years—but since becoming a mom, she’s taken new steps to find the glow she's looking for! With the arrival of sweet Sofia, Alex’s beauty routine has evolved into something even more effortless (yet effective!), which is always a welcome things for new moms.
In a recent Instagram story series, Alex gave a peek into her current favorite skin care finds, which have shifted to focus on time-efficient products that also produce results. Whether it’s for self-care moments amid a hectic day or relaxing skincare rituals that make her feel her best, Alex recommended some great go-to products.
First up: the Epionce Lytic Gel Cleanser. Alex admits she stole this from Ree! But who can blame her? The gentle-yet-effective cleanser is known for its skin-tingling action, and Alex swears it’s been a game-changer for her breakouts. With its ability to deeply clean without stripping the skin, it’s no wonder this one earned a permanent spot in her lineup. (Note from Ree: It's her absolute favorite cleanser no matter how many others she tries.)
Next is the Caudalie Beauty Elixir, a French cult-favorite face mist that Alex uses both morning and night. "This is a product I will never ever stop buying. It has to be my 20th bottle," she jokes. It has a refreshing tingle that has helped her to minimized pores while giving a glowy finish. Basically, it's a must-have!
Alex is also loving the Rhode Glazing Milk, a lightweight yet nourishing facial essence from Hailey Bieber’s skincare line. Alex calls it her "morning moisturizer," especially for no-makeup days, because it provides a beautifully natural radiance. But it also acts as the perfect primer under makeup. Talk about dual-purpose benefits!
Then, there's SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2. It's an anti-aging moisturizer that has become Alex's nighttime go-to for smoothing fine lines. Though this product has a hefty price tag, she admits the results make it worth repurchasing: "I'm sad to report I think this has actually worked. 😂" SkinCeuticals is a brand Ree also swears by, and while they aren't inexpensive, they do last a long time because of how concentrated the formulas are.
As for a shower staple, Alex uses the L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil—a pregnancy favorite that stuck around postpartum! This luxurious formula was Alex’s solution for helping prevent stretch marks, but continues to make her skin ultra-soft. Bonus: She raves that it smells "DIVINE."
For hair care, Alex has fallen in love with Ouai’s Leave-In Conditioner (St. Barts) . With a beachy, tropical scent, it works wonders for silky-smooth, manageable locks while leaving her hair smelling amazing.
Finally, for that perfect finishing touch, Alex reaches for Glossier You Doux. She says, "If you're searching for a new go-to perfume, look no further... it's tooooo good! And this bottle has honestly lasted me a while." The scent? A soft, serene woody fragrance with violet, palo santo, frankincense, and smoky myrrh, balanced by a warm ambrox base that will last through long hours of parenting.
Thank you for sharing, Alex!!
