It is a privilege and joy to be a mother, but, let’s face the truth… life as a mum is incredibly tiring and constantly busy!
From sunup to sundown, as a mum, we heavily focus on taking care of our family around the clock – cooking, making sure the children are healthy and overall happy, doing school runs, checking homework, keeping the house clean and in between juggling to complete our work as well!
With all the things we do to keep our kids, household and career going, it often means putting ourselves last.
Does Motherhood Make You Feel Older Faster?
Motherhood, most of the time, has indeed made skincare become more of a luxury than a necessity. Consequently, we tend to neglect ourselves and have very little or no time to mind our looks – which makes it impossible to avoid dull complexion, wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots from showing up.
In fact, it is not uncommon to find women who look three, five or even 10 years older after they become a mother, due to the prolonged sleep deprivation, hectic mum’s schedules and skipping skincare routines.
That’s why, mummies, although you are often oh-so-busy and overly tired, please remember not to neglect your skin.
Keep in mind that your skincare routine should remain a priority despite being a busy mum. As a matter of fact, setting aside just a few minutes a day for your skin can do wonders for your appearance in the long term!
Tips To Maintain Youthful Skin Without Much Hassle
Even when you feel like there’s not enough time to make yourself look fabulous like how you did back in the day, note that there are ways to keep your skin healthy and youthful while also performing your duties as a mother.
Here are some practical tips for busy mums, like you, to achieve youthful and healthy skin:
1. Consume more collagen-rich foods
Collagen is the protein that gives skin its structure, suppleness, and stretch. As we get older, we produce less collagen in our skin, leading to dry skin and formation of wrinkles.
Collagen plays a big role in improving your skin’s health, so consider including more collagen-rich food into your daily diet to boost your skin’s elasticity. Some examples of collagen-rich foods are bone broth, chicken, fish and shellfish, egg whites, berries and leafy greens.
2. Get quality sleep
We love sleep! We want to sleep! But for mothers, getting a full night of sleep is something that is just so elusive and hard to do, no matter how desperately they need to sleep.
Studies show that poor sleep can have adverse impact on skin’s health and appearance, including more wrinkles/fine lines. Therefore, try to reach your daily sleep quota and get enough quality sleep every day to make up for lost sleep.
That said, to optimise your quality sleep given your busy life as a mum, try to catch a nap, use essential oils to relax your mind at night, reduce your caffeine intake during the day, switch off any gadgets at least half an hour before bed time, and refrain from drinking too much liquids before bedtime.
3. Drink more water to boost hydration
When it comes to aging skin, one of the best ways to maintain healthy skin is to boost your water intake. Drinking plenty of water helps your skin remain hydrated.
For healthy skin, try to drink eight glasses of water per day. Sip on water throughout the day, set reminders on your phone or keep a reusable water bottle with you. Here are some easy ways to drink more water.
4. Squeeze in simple exercises
Regular exercise is one of the keys to healthy skin because it boosts circulation. Anything that promotes healthy circulation nourishes your skin because it brings more blood flow and oxygen to your skin, ultimately helps keep your skin healthy.
Also, exercise supports the production of collagen, hence increases the production of this protein that aids in ensuring your skin is firm, supple, and elastic.
5. Follow a simple daily skincare regime
With so much on your plate every day, an extremely busy and stressful lifestyle can easily take a toll on your skin, complexion and appearance. All the more reason why you shouldn’t let your skincare regime fall to the wayside as you get older!
To look fresh and youthful, try incorporating simple anti-aging skincare routines that are enjoyable, sustainable and fits your busy schedule.
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser, apply serum that suits your aging skin concerns such as Nutox Youth Restoring Advanced Serum Concentrate in the morning and evening before you layer on your moisturiser. In addition, don’t forget to put sunscreen on every morning and remove your make up before bed time.
