AM Beauty Routine
A collection of the products, beauty tools, and wellness treatments that have earned a place in my morning beauty routine—or are next on my list to try.
The Humble Co Tongue Scraper, 2 Pack
The first step in my morning routine—before brushing my teeth or washing my face—is using a tongue scraper. Overnight, bacteria, food debris, and dead cells can build up on your tongue, contributing to bad breath. I follow with brushing (I typically only floss at night, or after meals if needed) and mouthwash, then wash my face and do my skincare to help avoid any chance of toothpaste residue causing a breakout.
I love this tongue scraper because it's made from naturally antimicrobial copper, built to last for years with proper care, and easy to clean. The two-pack is perfect for keeping one at home and one in your travel bag.
If I were buying a new electric toothbrush today, the SURI 2.0 is the one I'd get. I'm still using the Oral-B electric toothbrush my dentist recommended years ago, but I'd like to eventually switch to this.
Unlike most electric toothbrushes, SURI features a durable aluminum handle and plant-based brush heads made with cornstarch and castor oil instead of traditional petroleum-based plastics. Beyond the cleaner materials, it also offers a 40+ day battery life, a built-in pressure sensor to protect your gums, and an optional UV travel case that both charges your toothbrush and helps eliminate up to 99.9% of bacteria on the brush head between uses.
RiseWell Pro Mineral Toothpaste
After trying several natural toothpastes, this is the one I’ve settled on. What sets RiseWell PRO apart from other fluoride-free, natural toothpaste brands is its transparency. RiseWell shares exactly what’s inside: 15% hydroxyapatite (10% micro-hydroxyapatite + 5% nano-hydroxyapatite).
Beyond the ingredient list, it works. It helps support enamel, reduce sensitivity, and naturally whiten teeth—without fluoride, SLS, artificial flavors, or dyes. My kids also use the kids’ version of this one in the cake batter flavor they’re crazy about.
If you’re looking for a clean, science-backed toothpaste that performs as well as it is clean, this is my favorite brand.Use code: JESSBEWELL for 10% off RiseWell.
A clean, alcohol-free mouthwash that freshens breath without the burning sensation or artificial ingredients or dyes found in many conventional formulas. It’s formulated with hydroxyapatite to help support enamel, xylitol to promote a healthy oral environment, and a refreshing mint flavor that leaves your mouth feeling clean and fresh.

IS Clinical Cleansing Complex Gel
This is the face wash I've been using for the past few months, and I love it. It's a lightweight gel cleanser that deeply cleanses while helping support a healthy skin barrier without stripping your skin's natural oils. It’s suitable for nearly every skin type and removes makeup, excess oil, and impurities while gently exfoliating, leaving my skin feeling clean, smooth, balanced, and refreshed.
Step two in my skincare routine—after cleansing—is using my toning pads, followed by my serums and sunscreen. I typically use Uncommon Beauty Koji Pads 2–4 mornings per week, but I skip them if I'm spending a lot of time in the sun, like at the beach, since they contain an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that can increase sun sensitivity. Just be sure to follow with sunscreen.
Formulated with kojic acid, glycolic acid, and niacinamide, these brightening pads help even skin tone, fade the appearance of dark spots, and smooth skin texture, leaving my skin looking brighter, smoother, and more radiant over time. I save my stronger, resurfacing Barefaced Toning Pads II for nighttime.This is one of my favorite beauty investments and I've featured it before. I love it! It fits easily into my routine after cleansing my face in the morning—and takes as little as 4 minutes.
It’s an effective at-home sculpting device that uses microcurrent to stimulate facial muscles, lifting, toning, and helping reduce puffiness through lymphatic drainage. It also uses nanocurrent to help brighten skin and target wrinkles, blemishes, and pigmentation.

I love this combination of Barefaced's Liquid Gold and Brightening Serum. A good daily vitamin C serum is a nonnegotiable for me to prevent premature aging and discoloration. I alternate between this duo and The Preservationist below.
Liquid Gold is a stabilized vitamin C serum that helps brighten skin, support collagen production, and protect against environmental stressors, while the Brightening Serum targets dark spots, discoloration, and uneven skin tone.

Lenox and Sixteenth The Preservationist
One of my favorite skincare brands, introduced to me by Ivey Leidy. I'm a huge fan of both The Preservationist and Laser Serum—in my opinion, they're worth every penny. I alternate between The Preservationist and my Barefaced Brightening Duo in my morning routine.
This is an all-in-one antioxidant serum and moisturizer. Instead of traditional L-ascorbic acid, it uses two stabilized forms of vitamin C to help brighten skin, support collagen production, and defend against environmental stress. It's also formulated with niacinamide, peptides, ceramides, squalane, and plant-derived exosomes to hydrate, strengthen the skin barrier, and improve firmness.
When I want to keep my routine simple, this is the only skincare product I use after cleansing before applying my tinted mineral sunscreen. It turns my routine into three simple steps—cleanse, The Preservationist, SPF—and leaves my skin hydrated, protected, and glowing.
Use code JESSBEWELL15 for 15% off Lenox and Sixteenth.
A cult-favorite peptide serum I sometimes apply after my vitamin C and before SPF for a smooth, dewy finish with a glass-skin glow. Made with Argireline, snail mucin, and hyaluronic acid, it deeply hydrates, supports the skin barrier, and helps soften the appearance of fine lines over time.
Colorscience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50
This is the tinted face sunscreen I wear every day as the last step in my morning skincare routine. It provides 100% mineral SPF 50 protection with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide—no chemical UV filters.The formula starts out white and blends to match your skin tone, leaving a natural, lightweight finish. I wear the Medium shade and it gives my skin enough coverage that I don't need to apply foundation.
NAD+ and CHK-Cu from Wellhaus Club
A recent addition to my routine has been NAD+ and GHK-Cu injections, which I've been cycling on and off for the past four months. I spent a lot of time researching before deciding to try NAD+ for its potential to support mental clarity, focus, and sustained energy, and GHK-Cu for its potential benefits for my hair and skin.
These therapies at Wellhaus are prescribed by a licensed medical provider and dispensed through reputable 503A compounding pharmacies. As with any treatment, there are potential risks, so it's important to do your own research, understand your health and lab results, and talk with your healthcare provider to determine what's right for your body.
I've noticed a big difference with NAD+. My energy feels more consistent throughout the day, and I no longer experience the afternoon slump I used to—even when I'm low on sleep. I've also noticed that my hair feels thicker and my skin looks clearer than it has in the past year, although I honestly can't say whether that's from the GHK-Cu, my skincare routine, my supplements, or—most likely—a combination of all of the above.
Once I finish my current GHK-Cu cycle, I plan to take an extended break to see how my skin and hair respond without it, review my second round of Function Health lab results, and then decide whether I want to do a future round. I plan to continue cycling NAD+ but will reassess over time.
If you're curious about NAD+ or peptides, reach out to Rory Mannino at Wellhaus Club and she can answer questions about the therapies they offer.
