Taking a little more time to focus on self-care is extremely important during these odd times. So I put together a little self-care beauty guide for those of us who love the feeling of being pampered and also want to achieve healthy skin results from it in the long run.
Check out the products I swear by for my self-care beauty routine and a few others that are highly rated and recommended.

body self-care routine
Take a few minutes to treat yourself in the bath or the shower. Exfoliate with a detoxifying body scrub or drench your body into a bath soak. Whatever you decide I highly doubt you’ll have any regrets.
Here are some of my favorite and highly rated bath/shower time essentials
moisturize and #quaranTan
As a prego mama I am currently obsessed with oils and body creams, which I believe help out immensely with stretch marks. This Honest Beauty body oil I’m using is specifically marketed towards pregnant women, but I will definitely keep this bad boy in stock even after the baby is born. It’s just that good.
Massaging body oil along with an emollient cream all over your body after a shower is some real self-care we all need.
Spring is here and soon enough summer will be knocking on our doors. In hopes that summer will be a more enjoyable time for us along with some normalcy. You can prep for those days using this self tanning cream created by blogger/influencer, Sivan Ayla. N32 is a gradual sunless tanner, which simply means you can control your level of tan-ness through each application. Annnnd it doesn’t have a terrible odor. Using this tanning cream is the only way I’ve remained somewhat tan over the winter.
skincare // self-care
This guide was intended to be easy so that it can fit into your normal routine. There is no reason you should stop taking care of yourself after this is all over. Especially when it comes to caring for your skin.
Applying a face mask at least once a week is all you need to help improve skin conditions and to reap the benefits of self-care.
I am hooked on all Biossance skincare products. You can find out more about them in a recent post here. Their products are amazing and packed with plant-derived ingredients that truly work.
peace out botox
Okay so maybe this technique isn’t the same as Botox, but the results come pretty darn close. When using the Gua Sha on a regular basis you will definitely begin to see results. After applying your facial oil swipe the Gua Sha in outward motions along your face. The cool feeling of the rose quartz combined with the massaging motions is perfect for your skin and over all health during these crazy times.
skincare application steps
last but not least
Let’s not forget about your hands. With all of the hand washing and sanitizing, your hands are bound to look and feel extremely dry. Applying a good hand cream 2-3 times throughout the down will really help bring back some moisture. Tip: apply hand cream along with vitamin E oil and cover hands with gloves or socks before bed while watching Netflix or reading a book – remove after at least an hour.
Hope everyone is doing what they can to remain positive during this pandemic. I truly hope you can find time to apply self-care into your routine and enjoy the relaxation.
