Being a mom indeed has so many advantages, and women claim that it’s one of the best things that has happened to them. However, there are some things every mother knows too well – dark circles under the eyes, dehydrated skin, and dirty hair are just some of them, but you really don’t have to worry at all. There are ways to successfully overcome all the obstacles and accomplish that refreshed and polished look you’re striving for, so stay with us and learn something useful about simplifying your beauty and skincare routine. Here are four steps you should stick to, so check them out.
Keep favorite skincare products on your nightstand
A lot of moms, and especially new ones, often tend to forget about their skincare routine due to numerous reasons. Not having enough time and being too exhausted after a long day of running around after their kids are just some of them, and you know what? None of these are a good enough excuse for you to stop taking proper care of your skin, so be sure to move all of your favorite skincare products from your medicine cabinet to your nightstand. You won’t have to make an excuse for skipping your regular routine this way since everything you need is right there, close at hand.
Invest in a good concealer
Every mom in this world knows that puffiness and dark circles under the eyes can be true pests, but the truth is that a good concealer can do the magic and erase the signs of your night shift in the blink of an eye. No matter how tired and sleep deprived you are, there’s always a way to fake a rested look, and a concealer is definitely a product you should have in your makeup bag. Just pick the one with medium coverage since too lightweight ones may not be enough to cover your dark circles, while the ones that are too heavy may look overly cakey, which isn’t a good idea if you’re a fan of no-makeup makeup look.
Curl those lashes
Another way to look wide awake and refresh is to emphasize your eyes. One of the best ways to achieve that is to curl your lashes before applying mascara. Heat the curler a little bit with your blow dryer (but don’t overdo it!), and then curl your way to a much healthier and brighter look. When this step is done, apply at least two coats of your favorite black mascara, and give those lashes much-needed volume and length. This step will make your eyes look much larger, which is why you shouldn’t skip it under any circumstances.
Get a cool haircut that’ll make your life much easier
Even though this may seem irrelevant, a good haircut that perfectly matches the shape of your face can make your life much easier for several reasons. First of all, an appropriate haircut will always make you look polished, no matter what you’re wearing. Besides that, a nice hairdo can really do wonders, especially if you don’t have the time to do your makeup in the morning.
Another important step when talking about your hair is washing, and we all know that moms often can’t manage to accomplish it. This is exactly when a quality dry shampoo should step in – this fabulous product is amazing when you have to run errands or pick up your kids from school, but you didn’t have enough time to wash your hair properly. Just apply it to your brush or directly onto your hair, work it into the scalp and comb through the ends, and voila – your hair is refreshed and you’re ready to go!
Each of these four steps can be extremely useful, especially when you’re a busy mom who is constantly in a hurry. Not having enough time for yourself can be a bit frustrating, but you don’t have to worry at all – there are ways to look refreshed and rested no matter what, so be sure to stick to our tips and you’ll see a great improvement!

Hello lovely ladies! Thank you for your feedback. Big thanks to Shub for having me. I wish you all the biggest slice of happiness and good luck in the coming year.
Thanks,

HAHA agreed! I think i’ll keep this in mine. Great tips for new mums to balance their lifestyle with a newborn
These are good points you mentioned. It is not a valid reason that Mom’s forget to look beautiful just because they have already kids. Moms should also take care of themselves.
All these are really good tips! Not only that it is good tips for those who living normal life too, get a good haircute, mascara and some makeup on.
Big thanks to all of you! Your feedback means a lot. Thanks lovely Shub for having me.
Great tips, I need all the time and help I can get in being efficient in this area!
These are some brilliant tips, especially for those who are busy or on the go.
great advice! i can officially say since lobbing off my hair its become so much easier to deal with. It barely needs much maintenance
Hair washing always pain to me. Even though I am not a mum. But I am busy single lady. hehehe
Haha I am not a mom (YET) but once I do become one, I’m sure these tips will come in super handy!
Hair cut… hahah I thought that was just my secret 😉 Yes indeed when the time is scarce the best is to stick to magical products we know would do justice to us and a chic hair cut. Gad to meet Amy 🙂
This is pretty great advice.. though my beauty routine is simply eyebrows and lippie…..
I feel like these tips are just for me ✌ ? can relate to it very well and I love all the tips over her esp that of hair cut ?
Thanks for your lovely sharing here, guess not just for busy mums…It’s also applicable for me as a busy busy yet-to-be mum too 😛 Cheers, siennylovesdrawing
I always busy with my 2 different jobs daily, but beauty routine still very important for me.
I will have to agree with you with the haircut thingy… As a mom of two, I really don’t have time to blow dry or style my hair.
The tips are so good for busy moms to maintain their beauty.
I’m not a mum but these are still good tips! It has reminded me I really need to get my hair cut and in a way I dont have to do so much with it as its just too time consuming! Thank you.
Great, simple tips!
Moms are always in a rush and self care is benched. Keeping stuff handy is a great tip!
Some nice points here. I agree with using a concealer and curling the lashes, they make a lot of difference. I need to put my products on the night stand as I do forget using my hand cream before bed.
I totally agree with the concealer. Going for facials or even getting them peacefully at home is tough for new and toddler moms.
Being caring to your beauty should always get priority in your life..Playing the role of a doting mother and being careful about beauty can go hand in hand.. Your article is much useful to know the pathway through which one can do this.
Worth reading post. Really helpful for busy moms like me.

These are great tips for those of us who aren’t moms yet, but are still super busy. I recently cut my hair and it’s much more manageable and saves me so much time! It used to be past my hips and now it’s shoulder-length!

Moms life is a busy life and they do need good suggestions on beauty to keep them look fresh and lively. I loved reading these ideas on having a set beauty routine.
This is super true! Especially the haircut, sometimes more is not always best, and I think we should go for things that works for us! Not just because we want to follow trend #guilty ^^
Seriously.. Few days back I totally dint care abt my skincare routine n my personal grooming…. Now a days my favourite hairstyle is messy bun…I mean who vll find whether its messy bun or u didn’t get tym to comb ur hair…I mean who cares… ????
I actually do want to try something different with my hair. I was thinking if coloring it. I have been going for reds lately so maybe this time a blonde or something. That would be a nice change.
Love the idea of getting a new hair cut and enjoying a new hassle free look

Great advice I’d say even for those like me who are not mums, sometimes great little tips when you are rushing out the door is a life saver and the haircut idea is one I undertook recently. My morning routine just got a little easier!
I love the haircut thing. its so true. when i cut my hair shorter and make it easier to style i leave the house looking much more put together than when i regularly say f*** my hair and just throw on mascara haha
