'Summer House' Star Lindsay Hubbard Reveals the Affordable Products She "Cannot Live Without"

Spanning from her purse staples to must-have items for new motherhood.

By

In the Celebrity edition of What's in My Cart, stars reveal the everyday products they're shopping — complemented by expert insights from our editors and analysts when it's something we love too.

Ahead of Bravo's Summer House season 9 reunion, we caught up with long-time cast member Lindsay Hubbard to chat about the essentials she uses on- and off-screen, especially now that she's added 'Mom' to her long list of accomplishments. Along with being an influencer, decorator and rental owner of Hubb House and an Air Wick partner, Lindsay's days are now spent caring for her five-month-old daughter. And her list of go-to products certainly reflects baby Gemma's essentials as well.

"Obviously, things have changed a lot since having a baby, so it’s not really about me anymore, it’s more about Gemma," Lindsay shared.

If we'd sat down with Lindsay six months or even a year ago, her top products would've looked different. Perhaps there would have been fewer cleaning products or less versatile picks. But today, Lindsay's keeping it simple; focusing on hydration, cleanliness and ease of use.

Below, you'll find a mix of Lindsay's purse staples, beauty must-haves and products that pull double-duty for her and Gemma while on the go.

A Favorite for Lindsay and Baby Gemma

Aquaphor Healing Ointment

Healing Ointment

"I cannot live without Aquaphor," Lindsay reveals. "I am not fancy in any way. I just use this on everything.

"I put it on Gemma’s cheeks before she goes to bed, I put it on her butt after I change her diaper. I use it on my lips, I put it on the backs of my hands to keep everything moisturized. It’s just the easiest thing to grab and use — [I] literally douse it everywhere."

Lindsay's Secret to No-Makeup Makeup

ISDIN Eryfotona Ageless Tinted Mineral Sunscreen for Face

"Whenever I’m not in the mood to put on a full face of makeup, I just put this on and walk out the door, and it keeps my face protected," says Lindsay.

Isdin is also a favorite amongst our experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute. Our Beauty Lab experts selected the ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica Ultralight Emulsion SPF 50 as the best natural sunscreen for oily skin. As a top performer in face sunscreen testing, the formula's matte finish makes it particularly great for oily skin.

The last thing Lindsay wants is bad breath, so she makes sure to keep Listerine strips on hand just in case she runs into anyone — including friends, neighbors and fans.

"[This is] the easiest, thinnest product for me to throw in my tiny little purse or in my pocket," notes Lindsay.

Lindsay's Must-Have Cleaning Product

The Honest Company Fragrance Free Sanitizing Alcohol Wipes

Fragrance Free Sanitizing Alcohol Wipes

"I carry around these Honest sanitizing wipes everywhere I go to just wipe all of us down at all times," says Lindsay.

The new mom uses them on the stroller, Gemma's toys, her hands and more.

Our Institute experts agree, choosing The Honest Company's Clean Conscious Wipes as the most versatile baby wipes, great for all kinds of messes.

Lindsay's Purse Staple

Purell Advanced Hand Sanitizer Soothing Gel, 6-Pack

Advanced Hand Sanitizer Soothing Gel, 6-Pack

"It’s kind of a must when you have a baby," Lindsay adds. "[You] wash your hands the second you walk in the door, or [you] use hand sanitizer."

While Lindsay didn't provide us with her favorite brand, the Good Housekeeping Institute stands behind Purell, whose formulation isn't too sticky or drying in tests.

What Lindsay Never Goes Without

Archipelago Botanicals Oat Milk Hand Crème

Oat Milk Hand Crème

"I also love this hand cream from Archipelago Botanicals," says Lindsay. "I cannot live without hand cream. My hands get so dry. It does not matter what the season is. This is a lifesaver. You will always find it on me at all times."

The brand is known for its use of plant extracts and essential oils, playing on botanical benefits that have been around for generations.

Besides oat milk, the hand crème also comes in scents of soy, rose, mint, lavender and coconut.

"I think that fragrance is the magic touch to create a welcoming environment at home, so the Air Wick Lavender and Chamomile-Scented Oil is my favorite, especially for springtime," says Lindsay.

Each air freshener refill is said to last up to 60 days, so with six included, she's set for 360 days — nearly a whole year.

The plug-in fresheners can be used all around the house, including in the bathroom, garage, hallways and more.

The brand also sports scents of fresh linen, papaya and hibiscus flower, vanilla and pink papaya and many more.
