Beauty Tips For Busy Moms To Follow

By Janine Hughes


Having children is no easy task, and being a mother can take its toll on the mind and body. Many women don't get the time to invest in themselves and they way they look and feel when they have children to take care of. This is made even more difficult for women who are working moms. The following beauty tips for busy moms should be able to make life just a little bit easier when it comes to looking good, no matter how hectic things get.

Having a haircut that works for a woman's lifestyle is essential. The right haircut will suit a woman no matter how it is styled and will look good even when there isn't much time to do any styling at all. Wash and go cuts are perfect. A good stylist will give a proper consultation, often for free, before a decision needs to be made about what to do with the hair. Also enquire about all necessary products to maintain the style.

Speaking of hair, dry shampoo can work wonders on days when there isn't enough time for a wash. Oily hair in particular will benefit from this type of product. Furthermore, using a dry shampoo will reduce the need to wash hair as often, which makes it a perfect choice for women who have dyed their hair, as it helps to preserve the colour for longer.

Travel size versions of many beauty products can be purchased at the drug store. These are particularly useful for keeping a stash in the car or in a handbag, just in case it becomes a little difficult to fit in a full grooming or makeup regime in the morning. Include a small hairbrush, concealer, lipstick and perfume samples to be prepared for anything during the day.

Many mothers are not able to get a full night's sleep, but battling puffy eyes and dark circles is no problem. Place an ice pack over the eye for about 10 minutes to reduce any puffiness. A gel eye mask is also a good product to use for this purpose. However, to save some money or if there is no gel mask, freezing teaspoons and using them instead can work wonders. Placing actual gel in the fridge helps the product to work better.

Don't worry about having the time to apply foundation when you can easily cut corners with a tinted moisturizer. Not only is it beneficial to your skin, it will help you look more youthful because it is not as cakey as foundation. Furthermore, if you get one with sun protection included then you will benefit even further in the long run as you combat the aging process.

Get a handle on a hairstyle or makeup look that works well. The more these looks are practiced, the quicker they are when pressed for time. Women like all sorts of different cosmetics, so figure out what works best and eliminate everything else when necessary. Keep the most important products handy for a touch up whenever necessary.

Last but not least, set aside a time to get pampered! It can be anything from a long bath and exfoliating mask to a morning at the spa. The point is that a well rested and pampered mother will always be in top shape to perform her duties.
