‘Summer House’ Star Lindsay Hubbard Gets Real About Single Motherhood, ‘Simplified’ Beauty Routine (Exclusive)

Lindsay Hubbard is getting candid about life with her little one.

“As a single mom, I try to work as much as humanly possible [because] I have to provide for my child,” the Summer House star, 39, exclusively tells First For Women while promoting her partnership with AVEENO Baby & Kids for the brand’s new line of face products and the “Face the Day Stronger” program. “So self-care tends to fall very low on the totem pole for me, and then it becomes a very simple routine.”

The reality TV star puts her 17-month-old daughter, Gemma, first, and jokes she will take what she gets, which sometimes includes using the AVEENO Baby & Kids face line — made specifically for babies’ delicate faces — on herself!

“I was just joking that, like a lot of times, I share products and food and things with Gemma, because, I don’t matter in this … she’s the priority,” Hubbard remarks. “So, like, my dinner is her leftovers, you know. I’m putting the Aveeno baby moisturizer on her this morning, and I was like, ‘Oh, God, I need this too,’ and then that becomes my moisturizer.”

“Self-care is very tough when we’re in very strong, busy working times,” she continues. “At least I have Gemma’s leftovers.”

As for her beauty routine, the influencer admits some nights she’s “crawling to the finish line,” and says “everything’s becoming simplified.”

“I’m lucky to get my makeup off at night. Some of these days I am like, ‘Oh, no, I slept with my makeup on. That’s awful. That’s terrible. I can’t do that ever again,'” she confesses. “Makeup wipes are very key, because I’m exhausted, even if it’s not a night that I am working.”

“But I do think there’s something in a simple self-care routine, you know, sleep, sleep that’s as simple as it gets,” she shares.

When it comes to coparenting, Hubbard says she’s “very lucky in that department,” as Gemma’s dad Turner Kufe — who Hubbard began dating in January 2024 before announcing they split during Summer House‘s season 9 reunion last spring — is “so active” and “so involved” in her life.

“He’s so willing to work with me on my insane schedule, and we have a great co-parenting relationship, and he loves Gemma so much,” she gushes.

“I would just say to any mom out there, ‘You’re doing amazing and keep it up,'” she adds.
