The postpartum period is full of joy, but also a time of change for your body, your mind, and your skin. Taking care of yourself is more important than ever as you adjust to this new chapter.
Let’s talk about self-care and skincare during this time of transition. Your skin is going through a lot, from hormonal changes to sleep deprivation, and it’s essential to show it some love and attention.
Here’s tips from co-founder, Hannah who recently welcomed her first baby (or second as Wyuna was her first!)
1. Prioritise Hydration
Postpartum can be a draining time, both physically and emotionally. Hydrating your skin is key to keeping it healthy and radiant. Look for products that boost moisture and restore hydration — like a rich face cream or a hydrating face spritz. Drink plenty of water too, as hydration from the inside out is just as important.
2. Keep It Simple
After the demands of pregnancy and birth, your skin may be more sensitive than usual. A simple routine with gentle, nourishing products is the best way to go. Think: a calming cleanser, a hydrating toner, and a face cream that keeps your skin comfortable without irritation.
3. Rest When You Can
Sleep might feel like a luxury right now, but getting as much rest as possible helps your skin regenerate and recover. If you can, sneak in short naps when your little one is asleep, and practice relaxation techniques to reduce stress, which can take a toll on your skin.
4. Embrace Your Glow
Your skin might change during the postpartum period, and that’s okay! From acne to dryness or increased pigmentation, embrace the changes as part of your journey. Your skin has been through a lot, and with the right care, it will glow in its own beautiful way.
5. Take Time for Yourself
Self-care doesn’t just mean skincare — it’s about taking moments for yourself. Whether it’s a warm bath, a cup of tea, or simply sitting in silence for a few minutes, prioritise your mental and emotional well-being.
Give yourself grace, time, and care as you adjust to this amazing, chaotic new chapter. Your skin and mental wellbeing will thank you.
