Look and feel great when your energy is down, hormones are high, and sleep is in short supply.

indulge your cravings

Eschewing caffeine doesn't mean you can't give in to your coffee cravings. Body Systems Cappuccino Sugar Scrub is the next best thing to a cup o' joe. Besides being a luxury, using it helps stimulate blood flow to improve circulation-a must when you're carrying extra weight. Plus, removing dead cells preps skin to better absorb other soothing potions. No fragrance or color is added to all-natural, deliciously edible ingredients like brown sugar, cocoa butter, milk, and coffee. (Scones sold separately.)

$12.50; at body-systems.net




treat your tresses

Experts think moms-to-be get that thick, luxurious hair while pregnant because we shed much less hair than usual while with child. But about six weeks after delivery, those extra locks start falling out, and hair may seem thinner because of hormone-induced textural changes. Nioxin Bionutrient Protectives Cleanser and Scalp Therapy increase cellular turnover for a healthier scalp, which produces stronger hair. Not a moment too soon.

Cleanser $13; Scalp Therapy $17; both at nioxin.com
