Keeping an efficient and non-time-consuming skincare routine with a new baby can be daunting. But allowing yourself time for a beauty routine, even if brief, can provide a much-needed boost to your confidence and well-being, helping you feel refreshed and ready to tackle the day.
In this article, we will be giving you our top tips to create time-saving skincare routines for busy new mums everywhere.
Simplify Your Cleansing Routine
As a new mum, finding time to indulge in a skincare routine can be difficult. But, removing makeup and impurities to keep your skin healthy is a must. Finding a sliver of time in the day to use a gentle, no-rinse cleanser can do wonders for your complexion.
For example, our Smooth & Hydrate Cream Cleanser is perfect for daily cleansing, as it’s light, nourishing and will melt away the daily impurities. Our cleanser works to remove even the heaviest of makeup, with little effort - ideal for all of our busy mums. Quick tip, for those extra busy days, you can also invest in some multi-use cleansing wipes.
Efficient Moisturising
Moisturising is a great way to keep your complexion healthy on those days where you don’t feel like doing a full skincare routine. Fast-absorbing moisturisers or even, hydrating serums, penetrate the skin rapidly, allowing you to apply and move on with your day without waiting around for the product to dry or feeling greasy. You also also consider adding products to your beauty regime that have added benefits, like SPF or anti-aging properties, to streamline the routine.
Sunscreen Is Essential
Daily sun protection is one of the most important ways to protect your skin year round. But, did you know that broad-spectrum sunscreens can be lightweight and also double up as primer? Perfect for those days where you want to wear some makeup. Broad-spectrum sunscreens are particularly valuable because they protect against both UVA and UVB rays, offering comprehensive defence for your skin. Or, you can opt for a tinted sunscreen for a two-in-one solution.
No matter what sunscreen solution you choose, this multi-functional product is also great for on-the-go application. Whether you’re heading to work or running errands with your new born in toe, you can quickly apply a single product that addresses multiple needs.
Quick Fixes for Tired Eyes
With limited sleep and a new born demanding your attention, your eyes may begin to appear more fatigued. But never fear, there are a few home remedies that you can try. To relieve puffiness or dark circles, you can try cooling eye creams or gels before bed.
With their anti-inflammatory properties, you will wake up with refreshed eyes. You can also trial some more home-made or DIY remedies. For instance, we love using chilled green tea bags on our eyes or cucumber slices.
