DM’S Beauty Picks

These are the products I’m currently loving, each one chosen with a lot of intention. When I vet a product for Dalai Mama’s Beauty Picks, I look for a few key things: ingredient integrity, innovative formulations that respect both the skin and the planet, and results that really last without relying on quick fixes. I’m also mindful of the cultural origins behind ingredients, making sure they’re respected and celebrated. Beyond all that, these picks are about more than just skincare and playing with makeup—they’re about supporting a beauty journey that feels real, nourishing, and aligned with our values and goals.
