When you have children it can feel as though you barely have time to think, let alone worry about any kind of beauty routine! And that is absolutely fine, there is no need to worry about one.
However, it can get some people down if they feel as though they aren’t looking their best. If that sounds like you, take a look at these quick hacks to help yourself look and feel better.
Dry Shampoo
Dry shampoo is like magic! If you don’t have time for a shower, let alone a shower long enough to allow you to wash your hair and you’re getting a bit fed up of having greasy locks, dry shampoo is the answer you’ve been looking for.
All you need to do is spray a little on your hair (don’t hold it too close) and then brush through. Your hair will be left feeling fresh and clean again in no time.
Wear Clothing That Fits
Almost everyone who has been pregnant and had a child will wind up looking a little different after the birth to how they did before. It makes sense, you’ve actually grown an entire person!
That can mean that some of your old clothes may not fit you anymore. Rather than beating yourself up about not fitting back into your old clothes quickly enough, a much better approach is to get yourself some nice clothes that fit you as you are now. You can still try and lose weight if you feel that you want to, but why not wear something you like in the meantime? That way you can lose weight in a healthy and sustainable way, and look great while you do it.

Eyeliner
Most moms definitely don’t have time to do their makeup! However, you’d be surprised at the difference just a tiny dab of eyeliner can make, and you can put it on in a few seconds. You’ll instantly feel more put together, too.
Sunnies
Sunglasses look awesome, they protect your eyes from the sun and they do a great job of hiding bags! Enough said.
Ditch Colored Nail Polish
The chances are that you won’t have time to keep up your trips to the nail salon if you’re looking after a young child, so embrace your natural nails. Naturally colored nails with a hint of glossy translucent polish will look much better than chipped, colorful, talons.
Moisturize
Moisturizing regularly is something that you can do in no time at all, and will make a huge difference to how your skin looks. You can even get double the effect by getting yourself a tinted moisturizer, so that your skin looks nice and even into the bargain.
Wash Your Hair Less
You don’t need to wash your hair daily! In fact, it will look much better if you wash it less because it will retain more of its natural oils. Save yourself some time and skip the hair wash today.
Get a Low Maintenance ‘Do’
Save yourself a whole heap of time by getting a low maintenance haircut that doesn’t need much styling. Some great low maintenance cuts are:
- The pixie
- A blunt bob
- The ‘lob’ (long bob)
- Long with a blunt fringe
All of these cuts will look great with minimal effort from you, so you can get on with the more important things.
