Alex Drummond may have little Sofia running around, a new baby on the way, and approximately a million things on her plate, but somehow her skin still looks glowy and gorgeous. So, it’s time to take notes!
Since sharing her skincare favorites last year, Alex has added a few new products to her lineup. Her current routine includes everything from a cult-favorite face mist to a "holy grail" moisturizer and an eye balm she says gets her so many questions. She's also made a point of wearing SPF every day, finding a lightweight formula that she actually enjoys using.
So, if you're looking to refresh your own skincare shelf, here are the
products Alex is loving in 2026.
First up is a product that has truly stood the test of time in Alex's routine. The Caudalie Beauty Elixir is a French cult-favorite face mist that she uses as the first step in her morning routine and again after cleansing at night. "This is a product I will never ever stop buying. It has to be my 20th bottle," she jokes. It has a refreshing tingle that has helped her to minimized pores while giving a glowy finish. Basically, it's a must-have!
Alex has also found an SPF she actually enjoys wearing every day—and that's no small feat. She admits that making sunscreen part of her daily routine was a struggle, but now it’s her goal to wear SPF on her face every day. Her pick? Summer Fridays ShadeDrops Broad Spectrum Mineral Milk Sunscreen SPF 50. The mineral sunscreen is "super lightweight" and works well both under makeup and on its own. She also says it doesn't irritate her skin or sting her eyes and doesn't pill underneath makeup.
Next is Alex’s new favorite moisturizer. She calls U Beauty's The SUPER Hydrator her "holy grail of moisturizers." Talk about some high praise! The lightweight face cream is designed to provide long-lasting hydration without leaving skin feeling heavy or sticky. Alex especially loves using it at night, saying it leaves her looking like a "glazed donut" before bed. Plus, she wakes up with skin that still feels super hydrated.
Alex is also loving TULA's 'Spresso Energizing Eye Balm. She says she gets "sooo many questions" about the under-eye product, which she loves for giving her tired-looking eyes a boost. Alex uses the Pink-Rose Glow version, designed to hydrate and refresh while helping reduce the look of puffiness and fine lines. It's basically the skincare equivalent of a strong cup of coffee—which feels especially fitting for a busy mom!
Alex even found a solution for one of the skincare concerns she didn't think she could do much about during pregnancy: dark spots. She shared that she assumed hyperpigmentation was simply something she would have to live with, then she discovered Caudalie's Vinoperfect Radiance Dark Spot Serum. "I'm not even kidding it has helped my dark spots SO much!!! "10/10." she concluded.
As for a shower staple, Alex uses the L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil—a first-time pregnancy favorite that stuck around! This luxurious formula was Alex’s solution for helping prevent stretch marks, but continues to make her skin ultra-soft. Bonus: She raves that it smells "DIVINE."
For hair care, Alex has fallen in love with the Colleen Rothschild Quench & Shine Restorative Mask. She says, “I've never used a hair mask that has made such an immediate difference on my hair!! My hair feels SO much softer!” The treatment hydrates, conditions, and strengthens hair without leaving it feeling weighed down. It can help smooth split ends, tame frizz and flyaways, and boost shine.
Finally, Alex is also a fan of Medicube for a little extra skincare boost, especially when she has time for some self-care. Along with the brand's Collagen Night Wrapping Mask, she uses Medicube's under-eye patches to give the delicate area under her eyes some extra hydration. The overnight mask is designed to be applied as the final step of your nighttime routine and peeled off in the morning, while the eye patches are an easy pick-me-up whenever her under-eyes need a little extra attention.
