If you know skincare, you know Korean Beauty has taken the industry by storm over…
Working from home has created a completely new sense of flexibility that was unknown pre-March of 2020. Hybrid and remote style work models are more popular now than ever, allowing for employees to have more flexibility in their work-life balance and giving employers an opportunity to stray away from the traditional office environment completely. But in order to give my space that feel of comfort and ready to work, I’ve implemented work from home beauty and wellness essentials into my daily routine. To inspire you to get comfortable while staying motivated…
Here are a few of my favorite work from home beauty and wellness essentials that make my days go that much smoother!
Super Sunscreens
Getting outside, breathing in some fresh air and stepping away from the computer is such an important part of working from home. It allows for your brain and eyes to have a break from staring at a screen and according to Workplace Mental Health, is proven to help improve your mental health. One thing you are absolutely going to need for your WFH midday walks is a good face and body sunscreen to keep you protected. My favorite face sunscreen is the Supergoop CC Screen 100% Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 and my favorite body sunscreen is the Replenix Antioxidant Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 50. Both of these sunscreens don’t feel super heavy on my skin or have that overwhelming sunscreen smell all while having a light tint to give me an even skin-tone. The CC Screen by Supergoop even dubs as a light CC cream, leaving my face feeling both protected and Zoom-camera ready. These are both such must-haves!

At Home Aromatheraphy
The scent of a room is a huge factor in my performance at work, especially when working from my own personal space. Having my diffuser near me at all times in my work space is a must of my favorite work from home beauty and wellness essentials and I love the flexibility of being able to add my essential oils of choice to make the right combination for what I have on my agenda that day – eucalyptus to destress, lavender to relax, citrus to excite and inspire.

Somethin’ About Serums
I am a huge fan of all things Derma-E, so when they launched their Blue Light Shield Concentrated Serum, I knew I had to get my hands on it. This serum helps to combat aggressors of your skin in your environment and works to neutralize the impacts of photo-aging. This is best used in the morning before the work day begins, after you apply your toner but before moisturizer!

The Eyes are the Prize
Because our eyes are now used to staring at a screen for a longer period of time without breaks in-between, it is essential to have great eye products in our beauty routines. Two of my favorite, most-recommended eye creams are the Indie Lee Restorative Eye Cream or the Derma-E Vitamin C Eye Cream, No Dark Circles Perfecting Cream. The Indie Lee eye cream is a great base under any makeup and does a great job at hydrating my skin. The Derma-E eye cream is infused with Vitamin C and brightening Turmeric to quite literally rid of any dark circles I am accumulating during my work day.

Back to You
After a long day of WFH, it is important to implement that work-life balance discussed above and find ways to decompress. This is incredibly important if your home is doubling as your work space and being able to create a clear balance of when it is time to work and when it is time to separate that part of life when off-the-clock. Some of my favorite decompressing products include Dr. Teal’s Relax & Relief Eucalyptus and Spearmint Foaming Bubble Bath, Osea Salts of the Earth Body Scrub and Indie Lee I-Waken Resurfacing Mask. Fill up the bath, spread the scrub across your arms, put on your face mask and sink into the self-care vibes.
I am super thankful that I live in an area where I can go for beautiful walks in the wine country area. It really allows me to disconnect and I’ve found it has helped me mental health while working from home!
Adding these work from home beauty and wellness essentials into my day to day routine has made my hybrid form of work that much more enjoyable and has helped me in creating the perfect work-life balance. Comment down below your favorite work from home beauty and wellness products!
