My Updated Nighttime Skincare Routine

As the warmer months start to approach (it was 75 in Utah the other day!!), I’m switching out my winter skincare products and adding in perfect products for the warmer, sunkissed days ahead. It’s so important to keep your routine ever-changing – especially as the seasons change! A rule of thumb is to change your products out 4 times a year for the different seasons. This doesn’t mean you need to swap out all of your skincare, just a few items that make sense for that time of year! For example, I use a lot of heavy creams at night during the winter to lock in moisture, but as we approach summer, I don’t use them anymore and stick with a basic moisturizer because our skin tends to hold more water in the warmer months. I try to go heavier with rich creams and oils in the winter and lighter with dewy, hydrating moisturizers and serums as we head into spring and summer. I outlined my routine, so it’s easy for you to follow!

Oil Cleanse with this Seabuckthorn Oil: If there’s one thing you need to buy, it’s this! It’s called Best Skin Ever for a reason. This has completely changed my skin!! If you have oily skin, don’t be afraid to use this product. It’s for everyone and will work to cleanse, exfoliate, and tone. I love double cleansing in the spring/summer because of all the buildup from sunscreens and other products that get into your pores. Follow this tutorial!
Cleanse with Tula’s Cult Classic Cleanser: This one is a constant in my skincare routine. It’s perfect for any season and leaves your skin clean, balanced, and hydrated.
Exfoliate with Summer Fridays: I love this gentle exfoliator! It works to brighten, even skin tone and minimizes pores.
Apply retinol: Now that I’m done breastfeeding, I’ve incorporated gentle retinol into my routine again! Retinol is such an amazing product and works to reduce wrinkles, redness and minimize pores.
Hydrate with this overnight moisturizer/mask: This product is perfect for spring and summer! It’s not super heavy and will leave you with hydrated and glowy skin when you wake up.

My New Beauty Product

As you may have heard, I’m working on developing a skincare product with Volition Beauty!! What started as a little idea when Sage was still in my belly is finally coming to life.

As a professional dancer, I’ve used my fair share of tanning products, but when I became pregnant, I started to notice all of the harmful ingredients in the lotions I was using. My body care routine started to grow as well. I was applying my tanning product, then my oil to prevent stretch marks, and then my body lotion to stay hydrated. I would have to wait several minutes between each step and make sure the tan wouldn’t streak all at the same time. I started to think how amazing it would be to create a moisturizer that doubled as a self-tanner without the hassle. I wanted to give myself a buildable glow that didn’t streak or stain, but I also wanted it to moisturize, tone, and protect my skin. As my body changed throughout pregnancy, I dreamed up this incredible product to help everyone achieve smooth, firm, and glowy skin while protecting you from harmful free radicals. It’s packed with incredible and effective ingredients like broccoli and sage oil that work to protect your skin from free radicals and minimize appearances of blemishes and imperfections, vegan collagen to plump and increase the appearance of firms, and so much more.

This product isn’t made to replace your 24-hour self-tanner; rather, it’s a daily moisturizer that also gives you a glow. Unlike other gradual tanners or body lotions on the market, this product DOES IT ALL. From giving you a gradual glow to deeply hydrating and protecting your skin, its robust and clean formula takes your multi-step routine and bottles it up into one incredible product.

Benefits

– Provides a gradual, healthy-looking tan

– Increases the appearance of firmness

– Helps protect against free radicals

– Smooths and hydrates for long-term moisture retention

– Helps minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles

– Softens the look of stretch marks

– Quick-dry formula

Skin Concerns

– Dull, pale skin

– Dry skin

– Fine lines and wrinkles

– Uneven skin tone

I’ve been a longtime customer of Volition Beauty and knew they could help me bring this product to life with their innovator lab, so I submitted my idea, and now I need your help in making this product come to life. Volition Beauty is all about asking their community what products should be made next. Instead of telling their customers what is coming up, you can submit an idea to their lab, and if it makes the cut, it moves to the waitlist stage to gauge the beauty community’s interest. If your idea meets the waitlist threshold, it’s on to the pre-order phase and is in development! Everything they make is certified clean and free of parabens and sulfates, plus it’s cruelty-free.

This is where you come in! I need you to help get my idea to the pre-order phase to make this incredible product become a reality! If this sounds like something, you would love to use, join the waitlist today at volitionbeauty.com/lindsay – just enter your email and create a password.

Thank you so much for your support!

3 Skincare Brands That Changed My Skin This Year

I still cannot believe we made it through the century that was 2020! The beginning of a new year is usually a time for reflection, and one thing I’m so grateful for now that baby Sage is here is being able to settle back into my *new* normal routine as a new mom! No one really talks about how much your skin changes along with everything else; because of these crazy changes, I had to start digging for some new products to keep blemishes at bay! Since I know so many of you are new mama’s, I had to share the wealth. There are a lot of products that I love and keep in my routine consistently, but I had to make some adjustments after experiencing some hyperpigmentation and other changes. Keep scrolling for 3 skincare brands that changed my skin this year ❤️ If you’re a new mama going through this, I’m with you and know it gets better!

My Favorite Affordable Skincare Brands

Beauty has always been one of my favorite categories to test new products! I love that clean and affordable beauty products are becoming much more accessible at local drugstores. I have a few favorite brands that have become staples in my skincare routine, and I knew I had to share with all of you. Clean skincare has really been a hit or miss for me. I’ve tried countless brands, and although they were clean, I didn’t notice a difference in my skin. I always test out a product for about 28 days, and if I don’t notice a difference, I move on. I’m always rotating products in and out, especially as the seasons change, allowing me to test out so many products. I’ve found a few different brands that I absolutely love and have been using their products for years. So, when I find a clean skincare or affordable brand that is also effective, I always want to share it with you! These brands are amazing, and I love that they don’t break the bank when I have to refill. Keep reading for all of my favorite affordable skincare brands that you need in your routine ASAP!

My Go-To 5 Minute Makeup Routine

Now that I’m a new mama, every routine has become “under 5 minutes” 😂! With baby Sage being #1 priority, putting on a full face of makeup nowadays is just not realistic when I’m running between her nap and feeding schedule! So, a quick makeup routine in the mornings just to feel even slightly put together makes a world of difference. Over the past few days, with only a few minutes to spare, I’ve really started to master my go-to 5-minute makeup look.

Before I go into products, I thought I’d share my recipe for the *simple* look that most mamas will have time for. Let me tell you, downsizing my routine is the best thing I’ve ever done! The idea is to keep it short, sweet, and simple with just the basics. For me, that means concealer, SPF, multi-use blush/lips product, mascara, and a brow pencil. If you’re a new mama like me, keep scrolling for a few time-saving products that have truly changed my life!

#1 NARS Soft Matte Concealer

My favorite part of this concealer is how easy it is to blend in. There is no cakey-ness, and it just melts right into my skin!

#2 Supergoop! CC Screen

I would trust Supergoop! Sunscreen with my life, I love this CC Screen because it adds the perfect amount of coverage and glow 😍

#3 Ilia Muli-Stick Cheek & Lip

Multi-sticks are a new mom’s dream come true! They fit perfectly in any bag and are great for quick touch-ups when you’re in a time crunch!

#4 Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

This mascara has been my ride or die for years. It gives your lashes the perfect amount of volume and always makes me look wide awake! A necessity for a new mom 😂

#5 It! Cosmetics Brow Pencil

I never feel complete without doing my brows. This brow pencil is amazing! I love how natural it looks, and the price is on point.

4 Skincare Products I Always Have In My Routine

I always love to switch up my routine and try new skincare products, especially as the seasons change, but I keep 4 products in my routine no matter the season. These have been my ride-or-die top-shelf products for years now. I’ve even tried to replace them or find something better, but nothing compares. So when I tell you these products are good, I mean it!

#1. Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser

I love all things Drunk Elephant, but this cleanser is just incredible. It leaves my skin feeling so hydrated and clean without that stiff feeling. I tried so many cleansers before I discovered this one. I have dry skin, and I found that all the cleansers I was using before this were drying my skin out even more. I recently learned that squeaky clean feeling actually isn’t a good thing! You should be using a cleanser that cleans your skin but also doesn’t dry it out. That’s why I love this one so much. A cleanser is always the first step in your routine and your skin will drink it up, so make sure you’re using a good one. If you need a new cleanser, try this one and let me know what you think!

#2: Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum

This serum does it all! It hydrates, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and it improves skin texture and tone. I’m all about a simple skincare routine, so I love it when a product has multiple benefits. Less is more in my opinion, which is why I’m obsessed with this serum. Over the years, I’ve slowly switched over to mostly clean skincare products. I’ve tried so many different clean brands, but they were far from effective. Drunk Elephant is one of the best clean skincare brands and all of their products are incredible.

#3: Laniege Water Sleeping Mask

Don’t let the name fool you! This mask, which also doubles as a moisturizer, can be used in the morning and night! If you want to wake up looking hydrated, glowy, and refreshed, you need to try this moisturizer. After I finish my nighttime routine, I rub this all over my face and let it sink in overnight. You’ll wake up looking like you slept a full 8 hours and drank your recommended ounces of water. When my skin feels extra dry, especially during the colder months, I use a smaller amount in the morning to keep my skin hydrated throughout the day.

#4: TULA Face Filter Primer & Moisturizer

I absolutely LOVE this primer/moisturizer. I love all things TULA, but this might be my favorite product they ever created. It seriously makes your skin look like you have a filter on it. This primer, which can also be used in place of a moisturizer, evens your skin tone, reduces redness, and blurs out your pores. Its hydrating formula creates a perfect base for your makeup routine. I notice a huge difference in how my makeup looks when I don’t use it. And on days I don’t wear any makeup, I use this as my last step to give me a nice sun-kissed even skin tone.
