Ask any new mom what they’d like for Mother’s Day, and a full night of uninterrupted sleep is probably high on the wish list. Yes, bringing new life into the world for the first time is undoubtably exciting, but it’s also a period of significant change. It’s not always newborn baby bliss, but lots of diaper changes, feedings, physical recovery, and of course, sleepless nights. Needless to say, there’s little time for parts of the pre-baby routines once prioritized, like bi-weekly gel manicures, for one. While you can’t wrap much-needed rest up with a bow, you can certainly gift first-time mothers a little slice of indulgence with quick yet effective skin care.
The reality is, the days of an extensive, 10-step skin care routine are in the past for the new mom in your life. However, these multitasking and low-lift products and devices can act as a grounding moment that’ll help her feel more like herself while also working to keep her complexion healthy postpartum. Think de-puffing eye patches for mornings when she’s extra exhausted and a five-minute sculpting device that can be used when baby is napping. And of course, all of these suggestions are safe to use while breastfeeding.
Ahead, discover 10 skin care gifts perfect for new moms.
