One of the things that I have just about no time for anymore is getting myself ready. I live in t-shirts, leggings and messy buns for the most part. I am all about self care when I have the time but unfortunately there isn’t always much time in the day. Anything that can make getting ready easier or quicker is going to be my best friend! Things that can take a task from two or three steps to just one are even better! That’s why some of these products are my faves! Take a look at some of my top beauty products for a busy mom!
This post is all about beauty products for a busy mom.
CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser
Lets start in the shower. I always wash my face in the shower because honestly its just easier. I dread washing my face at the sink. The last thing I want is to be splashing water up at my face and having water dripping down my arms getting my shirt wet. Its just too messy so, I always do this in the shower. I LOVE CeraVe because of their clean products. I personally like brands that don’t tend to add a bunch of extra yucky chemicals and this is a brand I feel I can trust. Plus, its good for sensitive skin! No fragrance needed here! They do have different options for skin type. I went with the normal to oily but they do have a hydrating face wash if you would define your skin as normal to dry.
The Honey Pot Foaming Wash
Not all beauty products are for your face! This is one that might be a little funny to talk about but we all have a whoo-ha we need to take care of! If you have ever struggled with vaginal infections or repeated yeast infections, this product is for you. I love this because it is made by women for women and the owner of the company made this product specifically to combat her recurring issues with vaginitis which typically occurs when there is a disruption in the normal balance of vaginal bacteria. With this product I just know I don’t have to worry about trips to the gyno because I am using harsh chemicals from body wash in a sensitive area. This product is pH balanced and helps fight any unpleasant odors you may be struggling with.
Redken Hair Cleansing Cream
This hair cleansing cream is amazing. When I am feeling like my hair is staying greasy or it starts to look like maybe I have some dandruff I use this. Spoiler alert, its not dandruff, its product buildup. This stuff strips all of the gunk from other products from your hair and makes it shine again. You will notice your hair feels weightless at the root. This cleansing cream is something that I use about every 3rd or 4th wash. I personally only wash my hair about once per week because of my hair type. So use this as it suits you and your hair type.
CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion
These AM and PM moisturizing lotions are probably my most used product. Being able to throw on moisturizer in the morning that is also sunscreen for my face is perfect. It goes on lightweight and can be worn under your makeup! It is not greasy and having that extra SPF protection on your face will give you peace of mind. No extra wrinkles please! Then, after showering and/or washing your face in the evening the PM moisturizer is exactly what you need! I love having both options and I know you will too!

Enjoy Hair & Skin Treatment Oil
I absolutely love this hair oil. My hairdresser used it after cutting my hair and I just had to have some. This oil can be used on your hair or even on your skin! You can apply starting at your ends and working your way up on damp or dry hair. This stuff smells so good and really makes your hair feel healthy and shiny. If you are dealing with frizzy hair this stuff is like magic. It will calm that frizz right away. It also strengthens hair after one use. With heat being used so frequently on hair we can all use a little strengthening!
Shark FlexStyle Air Styling and Drying System
Oh boy where to start with the Shark FlexStyle. This new nifty little tool has saved me so much time. Thinking back I so wish I had this tool in my high school days. Being able to dry and style your hair at the same time is truly such a game changer! I will say there is a little bit of a learning curve on the auto wrap curlers but I have gotten the hang of it after watching a few videos. The paddle brush and round brush are invaluable. I love being able to brush and dry my hair at the same time. Going from brushing and then drying, and then styling to a one and done process is just incredible when you need to save time and energy for those babies!
drybar Dry Shampoo
Lets be real this is probably what contributes to some of that product build up that you need the Redken Cleansing Cream for but it is SO worth it. This is hands down the best dry shampoo I have ever used. It does not give that heavy feeling that some dry shampoos give and it smells so incredible. When you haven’t had time to wash that hair and you’ve gotta throw yourself together and run, this stuff is your secret weapon. Busy moms on the go have to have this in their arsenal!

The Ordinary
If you haven’t heard of The Ordinary products its time to do some research! Not only are these products so incredibly affordable, they are such high quality! The company quotes themselves “Clinical formulations with integrity”. They focus on being fully transparent with their products and ingredients. While there are so many great products from The Ordinary, I personally love the Niacinamide formula. This serum is meant to reduce blemishes and minimize pores! I just put this on and let it dry before putting on my moisturizer in the evening!
These makeup remover cloths are one of my favorite products honestly because it reduces the amount of chemicals you are putting on your face. Not only that but it reduces the amount of waste compared to using disposable makeup wipes. These cloths are made to remove your makeup with just water, that’s all! I will say if your makeup is being stubborn or you wear waterproof mascara there is nothing wrong with dabbing some micellar water or makeup remover onto the cloth. The cloths are washable and can just be thrown in your towel laundry!
Victoria's Secret Bombshell Isle Body Spray
This is by far my favorite summer smell! It is new to the Bombshell Collection at Victoria’s Secret (not sponsored). It is so beachy and just gives all of the summer vibes! There is a tester size available on amazon or you can visit your local Victoria’s Secret or the Victoria’s Secret website!
When I just want to give my outfit that extra oomf but I don’t want to pay salon prices, let alone wait around at a salon to have my nails done, I go for press ons! Press ons are so affordable at the store and you can choose from so may designs these days! Skip the glue in the package, however, and opt for this super strong nail glue available on amazon! This is tough stuff! I have worn a set for over 3 weeks and finally had to manually remove the nails before any popped off! Hands down the best nail glue I have ever used!
These products are my real life go-to’s and I absolutely recommend them all! Of course everyone has their own preferences but when it comes to saving time, I hope these products can be as useful to you as they are to me! If you have any products you use that help save you time and energy let me know in the comments!
