It’s no secret that a mom life means a busy life. Whether you’re getting ready on the go or just want a simple yet put-together look, it doesn’t have to take more than a few products to keep your skin glowing and hair flowing. We chatted with local moms to find out what beauty items they can’t live without, no matter how busy their schedules get.
“Since I became a mother, dryness seems to be an issue. Because I don’t like to be seen without lipstick, my last-all-day moisturizing lip product is Chanel Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue Ultra Wear Lip Colour. My second favorite product is Chanel Sublimage La Crème Yeux. It is pricey for an eye cream, but well worth it!”

“I have two products that I love: my shampoo and concealer. Not your Mother’s Plump for Joy Thickening Shampoo makes my hair routine very easy—just wash and go. Mac’s Studio Fix 24-Hour Smooth Wear Concealer makes my skin look smooth and flawless by minimizing all of my lines and imperfections.”
Xeny Despotopoulos Simpson of Clarkson Valley
“My absolute go-to products that I can’t live without are SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic and Koji Pads formulated by the derm spa I go to. My skin changed when I became a mom, and I developed melasma (brown patches) that stayed with me after pregnancy. These two products made a significant change in my skin.”
Nina Seitz of Sunset Hills
“Clé De Peau Beauté Concealer is pricey, but its hydrating SPF formula wisps on and blends in under my 50-plus eyes. It covers any blemishes I want to hide extremely easily without having to be reapplied. Not only do I never have to go to the ladies’ room to check my makeup, but you also can’t tell how late I was up waiting for my college-aged son to return home during spring break!”
Keve Gialouris of Chesterfield
“I can’t live without Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado. It relaxes my eyes at night and helps me sleep. I wake up and my eyes feel rested.”
