Alex Drummond Shares the Simple Pregnancy Skincare Routine That Gives Her a ‘Glazed Donut’ Glow!
From a facial mist to a viral moisturizer, here's how the The Pioneer Woman’s daughter is pampering her skin
Over the last few years, fans of the Pioneer Woman, also known as Ree Drummond, have loved following her daughter Alex’s journey through this exciting chapter of her life. From marriage to motherhood, Alex’s sweet demeanor and transparency as she navigated this fun time has made her a beloved public figure.
Alex Drummond and her husband Mauricio just announced that they were expecting their second baby after welcoming baby Sofia over a year ago, and as Alex prepares for her second pregnancy, she’s pulling the curtain back on what her current day-to-day looks like—including her skincare!
In a series of posts shared to her Instagram story, Alex outlined her go-to products and why she loves them. Here, read all about Alex Drummond’s nighttime skincare secrets!
Step 1: Why Alex Drummond swears by this facial mist
Before getting into the details, Alex sweetly reflected on how much her life has changed since the early days of her relationship with Mauricio. Back then, their nights were packed with plans and socializing—but these days, if she’s cleaned up and cozy by 8 p.m. after a long day, she calls it a win.
Alex started her skincare routine off with the Caudalie Beauty Elixir Prep, Set, Glow Face Mist, costing $49 a bottle. Even before getting pregnant with her first daughter, Alex shared that this hydrating product has been a staple in her skincare lineup. It is a lightweight, refreshing mist that blends grape extract and glycerin to deliver a quick hit of hydration and radiance, while essential oils like peppermint, rosemary and rose help tone, soothe and give skin that instantly “awake” feeling. Orange blossom water adds a soft glow, and the alcohol base helps the formula dry quickly and lightly tighten the look of pores—making it ideal for prepping skin, setting makeup, and refreshing your complexion throughout the day.
“This mist will forever be a repurchase for me,” she wrote over the video. “Minimizes pores and makes your skin feel sooo awake & tight.” In the morning, she sprays it on instead of washing her face and in the evenings, she sprays it after washing her face.
Step 2: The moisturizer Alex uses for her ‘glazed donut’ glow
Alex Drummond explained that during pregnancy, she finds her skin improves in terms of breakouts, sharing that they’re often linked to her cycle. However, pregnancy prevents her from using harsher treatments, so the Pioneer Woman’s daughter likes to keep it simple with her facial mist and a good moisturizer.
Her go-to is the U Beauty SUPER Hydrator—which uses five types of hyaluronic acid that penetrate at different levels to deliver deep, long-lasting hydration, while peptides help support firmness and smoothness. And while it’s on the pricer side at $168 a bottle, you can use her code, ALEXD20, for 20% off your first purchase.
“This moisturizer has me looking like a glazed donut before I go to bed, but it doesn’t feel too heavy. It still feels lightweight,” she explained, sharing that when she wakes up, she still feels moisturized.
Bonus: The body wash and lotion combo she says smell amazing
Alex also shared with her followers another find she’s been loving: The Salt & Stone Saffron & Cedar Body Wash with Niacinamide + Probiotics and the Salt & Stone Saffron & Cedar Body Lotion with Niacinamide, both costing $36 a bottle. Alex was on the hunt for a non-toxic body wash and body moisturizer, and the ingredients paired with the fact that it smells similar to the highly popular Baccarat Rouge 540 perfume made it a winner.
Whether you’re expecting like Alex or simply looking to refresh your skincare routine, her simple, effective approach proves that taking care of yourself doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes the best beauty secret is finding a few products you truly love—and sticking with them. Here’s to glowing skin and those cozy 8 p.m. evenings at home!
