Postpartum Skincare

Hi all! It has certainly been a while… my world got turned upside, but in the best of ways. I went into labor on moving day into our new house and it has taken me a long time to unpack, get settled and adjust to the beauty that is motherhood. My baby girl is almost a year now, so yes, it took me a LONG time. But what I’ve learned so far is to embrace everything, be gentle and kind to myself, and to take on each challenge with open arms on this beautiful journey as a mom.

I realize a lot of my skincare testing and sharing has not been top of mind but I have not lost my passion for it! With these scary, uncertain times of COVID-19 came many silver linings for me. I’ve gotten to enjoy time at home as a family, time to decorate, cook, plant, and most importantly, time to take a bath, a breath, put on my skincare and enjoy some me-time. I mean #toweltime!

With all the changes in my hormones, my skin has DEFINITELY changed. One week postpartum I felt that I lost the glow, or was it the lack of sleep? haha! But overtime, I realized that some of my everyday products were not giving me the same results as before and I’ve had to make some adjustments to find what would bring me that even tone glow that I strive for each day with my skincare. That being said, I still use all my products from before, but lately have substituted or alternate giving my skin what I think it needs each day. Also, I’m a skincare enthusiast, so always trying new things!

To jump right in, here are my top two evening routines and products I’m using to achieve rejuvenated, even tone, glowing skin postpartum.

When my skin needs some serious TLC & Moisture:

• Natura Bissé Diamond Cocoon Deep Enzymatic Cleanser
• IS Clinical Active Serum
• Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil
• Dr Hauschka Rose Day Cream Light
• Bliss Bright Idea Vitamin C + Tri-Peptide Collagen Protecting Eye Cream

The Essentials Trio:

• Summer Fridays Super Amino Gel Cleanser
• Summer Fridays CC Me Vitamin C Serum
• Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask

I always say you can’t forget the lips, ever! My all time favorite still is the Lip Care Stick by Dr Hauschka. For those of you seeking some results or need to revamp your routine, I hope these recommendations help you. Most importantly, enhance your self care with some relaxation and #toweltime!
