We’re all making sacrifices right now, both big and small, but self-care doesn’t have to be one of them. This quarantine is a marathon, and we mamas will never make it to the end running on empty. Below is a roundup of our favorite self-care products, available at pharmacies and Target during your next toilet paper run. Because hidin in the bathroom and scrolling Instagram does NOT count as self-care… unless you’re wearing a face mask.

Aveeno Repairing Cica Hand & Foot Masks
I use these all the time. Smooth skin in just 10 minutes. 20 if you wear one at a time, so you can scroll your phone with your free hand. Because if you can’t scroll, is it even self-care?
Burt’s Bees Peppermint Foot Lotion
I’ve been obsessed with this for years. I use it on my feet and calves after hard workouts and when hiding in the bathroom during quarantine.
Trader Joe's 100% Organic Argan Oil
A game-changer for cuticles, hands, and feet, and you can’t beat the price point.
Pixi Skintreats Peel & Polish
This was in my husband’s swag bag from the Critic’s Choice Awards, and it quickly became my new favorite face scrub. The entire line is now available at Target!
Found Sensitive Lotus Flower Calming Gel Face Mask
When seeking perfect skin, call on your gorgeous your 25-year-old neighbor for advice. She highly recommends the Found Beauty line, available at Walmart. And frankly, anything “calming” sounds good right now.
Versed’s Find Clarity Purifying Mask
Who doesn’t need to “Find Clairty” right now? Versed Skincare, available at Target, is another recommendation from Miss Fresh Faced & Wrinkle Free next door, though I’m starting to think her fabulous skin has more to do with the fact that she doesn’t have kids yet.
Eucalyptus Bouquet
Grab some live eucalyptus from the grocery store and tie to your shower head. You'll get a eucalyptus steam shower for 4 weeks straight, and nothing beats it.

Baby Foot Peel
These! All of your dead skin falls off, which is so gross for 2 days, but right it now it matters zero percent, so go for it.
Dr Teal's Pure Epsom Salt Soothe & Sleep Lavender Soaking Solution
A game changer for bath time. You can also use unscented bath salts and essential oils.
Homemade Face Mask
Mix honey, cinnamon, and lemon juice together until you have a paste-like consistency. Use it as a face mask for 20 minutes, and your face will legitimately glow. Better than any mask I've ever bought.
