My clean hair routine with
R + Co Bleu : Getting ahead of Postpartum Hair Changes
As I prepare for postpartum life, one thing I’ve been focusing on is my scalp and hair health. Postpartum hair loss is something so many women experience, and while it’s totally normal, I wanted to be proactive and support my hair before it even starts. That’s where my R+Co Bleu routine comes in—a clean, luxury hair care line that’s as effective as it is thoughtful.
What I love most about R+Co Bleu is how clean and conscious the brand is. Every formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and made without harsh ingredients like sulfates, parabens, or silicones. The packaging is also recyclable and made from post-consumer materials, which makes me feel even better about using it every day.
My current routine is simple but powerful:
I start with the ingenious thickening shampoo and conditioner, which instantly make my hair feel fuller and more resilient. They gently cleanse while strengthening the strands, leaving my hair light, soft, and never weighed down.
After towel drying, I mist the scalp therapy densifying and rebalancing leave-in mist directly on my scalp. It’s a refreshing, lightweight treatment that helps maintain balance and supports a healthy environment for hair growth—something I’m prioritizing before postpartum shedding kicks in.
To finish, I use the f layer detangling mist, which adds softness, shine, and manageability without buildup. It protects and nourishes the hair’s outermost layer, keeping it smooth and hydrated.
This routine has not only made my hair look and feel better, but it’s given me peace of mind knowing I’m taking care of my scalp in a clean, intentional way. Whether you’re preparing for postpartum changes or just looking to elevate your hair care routine, r+co bleu is one of those brands that truly delivers—root to end.
My pregnancy skincare that kept my skin calm and clear
Pregnancy definitely changed my skin—and honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect at first. My skin has always been on the sensitive side, and with all the hormonal shifts, I wanted to keep my routine simple, clean, and effective. I learned quickly that less really is more during pregnancy.
I kept things minimal with a few trusted products from Eminence that made all the difference: the Stone Crop Gel Wash, the Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser (every other wash), the Kombucha Microbiome Balance Essence, and the Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer.
The Stone Crop cleanser became my daily go-to—it’s gentle, refreshing, and keeps my skin balanced. On alternate days, I’d switch to the Mangosteen cleanser for a soft glow and light exfoliation. After cleansing, I’d press in the Kombucha Microbiome Balance Essence to help strengthen and nourish my skin barrier—it’s like a calming drink for your face. To finish, the Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer sealed in all the hydration without feeling heavy.
What I love most is knowing these products are organic and full of skin-loving ingredients that are safe and gentle, especially during pregnancy. My skin stayed clean, calm, and nourished throughout—and it’s proof that you don’t need a long routine to have great skin. Sometimes, simple really is best.
My secret to no stretch marks during pregnancy
One of the things I was nervous about during pregnancy was how my skin would handle all the changes. I knew I wanted to do everything I could to keep it hydrated, smooth, and healthy—and I’m so happy to say that I made it through my entire pregnancy without a single stretch mark.
My secret? The perfect combo of Eminence Apricot Body Oil and Mangosteen Body Lotion.
From the start of my second trimester, I used the apricot body oil every night after showering. It’s rich but never greasy, and it soaks in beautifully while leaving my skin so soft. Then I layered the mangosteen body lotion on top to seal in the moisture. The two together kept my skin deeply nourished and elastic the entire time.
Beyond how well they worked, the scents are incredible. The apricot oil smells fresh and calming, and the mangosteen lotion has that clean, spa-like sweetness that makes the whole routine feel luxurious. It became one of my favorite self-care moments during pregnancy—just taking a few minutes each night to take care of my skin and connect with my body as it changed.
If you’re expecting or just want to keep your skin healthy and glowing, I can’t recommend this combo enough. It’s gentle, natural, and truly effective—plus your skin will smell amazing.
My Sunday Routine
There’s something about a consistent self-care routine that just resets everything — your skin, your mood, and your mindset. These are my current weekly beauty staples that keep me glowing, hydrated, and refreshed from head to toe.
Medicube Pink Collagen Mask
This mask is my go-to for a quick boost of hydration and firmness. It’s packed with collagen and helps plump up tired skin while giving it that soft, dewy glow. I love using it when my skin needs a reset or before a night out for a smooth makeup base.
OSEA Salts of the Earth Body Scrub
Think of this as a spa day in a jar. This scrub gently polishes away dullness while infusing your skin with sea minerals. It leaves my skin baby-soft and perfectly prepped for body oils or lotion — the ultimate Sunday ritual.
Amika Soulfood Nourishing Mask
My hair drinks this up! It’s rich, creamy, and smells amazing. I use it once or twice a week to keep my strands soft and hydrated, especially during dry or cold weather. It’s perfect for restoring shine and keeping hair healthy between salon visits.
Éminence Clear Skin Probiotic Masque
This one’s a skin-saver for when my complexion feels congested or stressed. It calms redness, clears up breakouts, and balances the skin without drying it out. It’s like giving your skin a clean slate — pure, calm, and refreshed.
Daily Must Haves!
When it comes to skincare, consistency and the right tools make all the difference. Over time, I’ve learned that a simple, effective routine built around quality essentials keeps my skin balanced, glowing, and calm. These are my everyday must-haves that I reach for without fail.
1. Facial Cleansing Brush
A silicone facial cleansing brush takes your daily cleanse to the next level. It helps lift dirt, oil, and makeup while gently exfoliating and boosting circulation for that fresh, post-facial glow. I love using mine in the morning and at night — it’s a small step that makes a big difference.
2. Clean Skin Club Towels XL
These disposable face towels are a game changer. Made from 100% biodegradable material, they’re dermatologist-approved and perfect for keeping bacteria off your skin. I use them after cleansing to gently pat dry — they help reduce breakouts and irritation while keeping my skincare routine extra hygienic.
3. Body Dry Brush
A dry brush is the ultimate self-care tool for smoother, healthier skin. Before showering, I use it in circular motions to exfoliate and stimulate lymphatic drainage. It helps boost circulation and leaves my skin feeling refreshed and soft.
