As a mom, taking care of your skin may not be at the top of your list of priorities, but it’s important to prioritise it to ensure that you look and feel your best. With so many skincare products and routines out there, it can be overwhelming to know where to start.
To help you out, here’s a detailed skin care products list for mums:
The first step in any skincare routine is to cleanse your skin to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. Look for a gentle cleanser that won’t strip your skin of its natural oils. You can use a natural face wash that is toxin-free and detoxifies the skin, removes impurities, and absorbs excess sebum which results in reduced blackheads, acne, and blemishes, giving the skin a brighter look. It is a must-have in your skincare products list.
A toner helps to balance your skin’s pH and prepare it for the rest of your skincare routine. Choose a natural, alcohol-free and one that contains soothing ingredients like Green Tea extracts and Apple Cider Vinegar, which help to control oil and reduce acne.
Serums are lightweight, fast-absorbing formulas that deliver concentrated active ingredients to your skin. Serums that contain ingredients like Vitamins C, B3, B5 & E and Hyaluronic Acid help to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots, hydrate, brighten and help reduce pigmentation.
Moisturiser is essential for keeping your skin hydrated and healthy-looking. Choose one that’s lightweight and non-greasy like the Moms Co Natural Vita Rich Face Cream that contains ingredients like Chia Seed Oil, Vitamin C rich- Kakadu Plum, Hyaluronic Acid, and Arbutin. It helps moisturise and reduce pigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles without compromising the skin’s hydration.
The skin around your eyes is delicate and prone to fine lines and wrinkles. Add an eye cream that is enriched Bakuchiol – a natural alternative to Retinol, Sea Buckthorn Oil and Natural Vitamin E, to your skin care products list. All these ingredients together help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness around the eyes.
Sunscreen is a must-have for protecting your skin from the damaging effects of the sun’s rays, which can cause premature ageing, dark spots, and even skin cancer. A mineral sunscreen that is non-sticky, and lightweight, absorbs quickly without leaving any white cast. Make sure the sunscreen you include in your skincare products list has an SPF of at least 30 and is enriched with Zinc Oxide and Licorice extract, as it offers broad-spectrum protection, prevents redness, and dark spots, and fights pigmentation.
Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, which can improve the overall texture and appearance of your skin. Look for an exfoliator that’s gentle enough for regular use and doesn’t contain harsh scrubs or beads that can damage your skin. Ones that contain Black Sand and Tagua Nut are a great addition to a skincare products list as they gently exfoliate, leaving the skin soft and healthy.
In addition to the above products, there are a few other things you can do to take care of your skin:
