On some new-mom days, just brushing your teeth qualifies
as going all out in the beauty department. These products will help you look and feel
great, and each one has a baby-friendly bonus.
After the taffy-pull that is pregnancy, skin can look saggy, baggy and
generally less than radiant. Palmers Cocoa Butter Skin Firming Lotion is designed
to increase skin's firmness in just six weeks. Packed with natural ingredients
like ginseng, green tea and chamomile, the formula rejuvenates, oxygenates and
stimulates skin to repair itself.
$5.99; buy it at palmerscocoabutter.com or call
E.T. Browne Drug Co. at 201-894-9020.
Makeup? Yeah, right. Unless you have a full-time nanny, finding the time to
apply sunscreen, foundation and powder can be tough. Bloom Compact Foundation
covers all your bases in one complexion-perfecting formula. Use it wet for a
dewy, translucent finish or dry for fuller coverage.
$18 for compact, $22 for
foundation; find a store at bloomcosmetics.com or call Australia Steamboat at
800-400-6092.
With a new baby nearby, you want as many natural products touching your own
skin as possible. Nature's Gate Organics Deodorant is all natural with a light
lavender scent and baking soda, to help neutralize odor.
$5.49; find a store at
naturesgatebeauty.com or call 800-327-2012.
A new baby means a lot less sleep and a lot more hand washing which can leave
digits seriously dehydrated. Avon Basics Silicone Glove hand cream penetrates
instantly, so you're not left with a greasy film that can make holding little
ones hazardous. The protective benefits last through several washings, so you
have to reapply less often.
$2.29 at avon.com or call 800-367-2866 to find an
Avon representative near you.
Feel like you left that "pregnancy glow" everyone raved about in the delivery
room? Bella Mama Rejuvenating Face and Body Spritzer helps you keep the glow
alive. The refreshing mist hydrates instantly with green tea, aloe vera and rose
water.
$11; find a store at bellamama.com or call 888-831-4474.
