Current Skincare Products: Pregnancy Edition!

By -

If you were following me last Fall, you know that I posted a Fall Skincare Favorites. Now I'm here with my skincare essentials for pregnancy! Let me tell you, being pregnant will change you. Everything about you, including your skin!

Most people say that being pregnant with a boy your skin will be clear, glowing, happy looking all the time. That is NOT the case for me! Being preggo with my lil boy has made my skin worse than it was in high school. I have never had so much acne in my life!

So here's what I've changed up in my routine what I use now!


Since I'm not working, I rarely wear makeup anymore. 2-3 times a month I would guess at this point. At night, I will wash my face with Biore's Baking Soda Acne Scrub. I had wanted to try out the charcoal one, but my face is more on the dry side now as opposed to how oily it used to prominently be. This Baking Soda Acne Scrub is AMAZING. It smells good, scrubs the dry skin off my face and helps clear up the hormonal acne.

Next, I still tone my face with Apple Cider Vinegar, because I know it works. I have been spritzing it on my face as well, instead of using a cotton pad.


Finally, I have continued to use Valentia's Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer. It keeps my face soft, without making it oily and it doesn't make me break out!


If I do wear makeup, I will remove it with either a cleansing cloth or micellar water. Other than that my skincare essentials right now are pretty basic! But hey, whatever works!

When I Said Exciting Things Were Coming...

  Did I mention a cross country move?! Cause we did that.  From the desert, to the ocean. If you followed along with my Instagram or Facebook, then you somewhat know of the challenge it was to get here. (In summary, the Western Slope Curse is a very real thing, lol.) I could give you a day-by-day rundown of what has happened since we arrived, but I will save that for another, better post. In the meantime, just know that things are not at all what we were told  they would be. Its been a lot of feeling like we have been 100% in survival mode.  Aside from the beauty and amazing people here in North Carolina. I could focus on the negative, or I could tell you that Zac has taken the oldest two fishing or just in the canoe every day. I got to see the ocean WITH my kids, and their minds were blown. We've eaten BoJangles, Moe's, and my kids are catching fish for dinner.  I found a super cute (Veteran Owned!) salon, with the sweetest stylist who did a small chop for me t...

  WELL HELLO THERE! Its only been 11 months since I last posted, haha. (12*)  When I tell you A LOT has happened... For starters, let me introduce you to Waylon!  He was my first home-birth, just before Easter, and WOW what an experience!  The last couple of posts were - I'm pregnant! We went to a BBQ restaurant! I'm pregnant again! lol. He is an awesome little boy. It took him about a month, but he is finally enjoying being a big brother! Maybe this is going to sound like a Christmas letter... but hey, we are 10 days out so why not?! (okay, so it's now January. Where did December go?) Miss Annabell was born on the Autumn Equinox, into Zac's arms. She has been the sweetest addition to our family.  Orin and Kalia have been the best biggest siblings, and have (for the most part) enjoyed stepping into these roles. It IS incredibly weird to say that I have 4 kids.  I'm still in my Jeep. Zac did add a 3rd row in the back. RIP trunk space. We have some really exc...
