My mother has been big on lotion for as long as I can remember. This is why I can’t resist spraying it on my face before applying serums or moisturizers. This is an essential step that we both feel will not only help the product penetrate better, but will have even better effects on your skin. She loves adding tea tree oil to her toner. Because it makes you feel “fresh” and helps shrink your pores. This her $7 option from Advanced Clinicals is also made with witch hazel and aloe vera for extra soothing and moisturizing benefits.

Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Smoothing Moisturizer

Fresh Skin Care is my personal favorite brand, so I introduced it to my mom a few years ago. Now my mom always asks me to replenish my moisturizer. She especially loves her Lotus Youth Preserve collection from the brand, which includes the Lotus Youth Preserve Smoothing Moisturizer. This lightweight moisturizer tackles fine lines and wrinkles while smoothing texture thanks to ingredients like lotus, star fruit leaf extract, and vitamin E.
Cushionaire Fame Recovery Cloud Slide
Amazon
Have you introduced anyone else to your mother? Cushioned slide. I bought these Cushionaire slides for myself and was (and still am) obsessed with their bounce and comfort. Plus, it’s super fun to wear thanks to its exaggerated silhouette. My mom loved them the moment she tried them on, so she decided to buy another pair for this spring/summer. Luckily, she comes in 23 cute colors, so you can’t go wrong.
Mac Cosmetics Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation

My mom is very picky about her makeup, but she loves all Mac products. She uses up her products quickly, so she adds this SPF-laced serum/foundation combo to her collection. According to the brand, this lightweight foundation is formulated to be extremely hydrating and comes in 21 shades. Shoppers say it “glides smoothly over pores and wrinkles, leaving you feeling super youthful and hydrated” and raving that it’s “better than tinted moisturizers”.
Filorga NCEF-Shot Anti-Aging Serum
Amazon
this is of Best anti-aging serum if you ask my mom. Although I haven’t tried it myself, I agree with her that the French serum definitely stands out from the rest. This formula was created to mimic mesotherapy injections, a face filler that originated in France. The injectables contain active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, amino acids, vitamins, coenzymes, minerals, and a blend of antioxidants. All of these, just like fillers, make the skin smoother and firmer. My mom swears it has firmed up her skin and loves its “delicate” scent.
mejri chunky medium hoop
Mejuri
My mom and I are both gold hoop girls, and she has been pushing me to get earrings that are chunky but not too big. She also prefers the clicker closure for a more secure fit. It doesn’t seem like a lot to ask, but I was forced to hunt quite a bit until I came across her Chunky Medium Hoops from Mejuri. It looked perfect and after receiving it in the mail I could confirm it was perfect. It’s beautifully thick without being too overpowering, and is a true medium size. Plus, it’s very shiny and lightweight.
Oofos Oomg Sport Low Sneakers
Ufoss
This is definitely the best moment to save the last minute. Oofos has become my mom’s go-to shoe brand and it’s no wonder why. The brand, also worn by Gisele Bündchen, makes athlete-inspired recovery footwear, including slides, sneakers, and clogs. I’ve lost count of how many pairs of Woofos shoes she owns at this point, but that doesn’t stop her from wishing for more. She’s a hairdresser and the pressure of standing for hours on end takes a toll on her back, so she relies on the brand’s supportive insoles to keep her in shape. I will add one more of her shoes to my collection. It’s a lightweight slip-on shoe that looks stylish and is comfortable at the same time.
