Best Beauty Tips For Busy Moms

By Janine Hughes


Rarely do mothers get the time to invest in themselves the way they have to invest in their families. This is even more true when it comes to working mothers. If you fall into any of these categories, these beauty tips for busy moms will help you look and feel your best even when you are at your busiest.

It is a really good idea to get a haircut that works for moms on-the-go and that is specific to the individual hair type and texture. Following a consultation with a good stylist, the right haircut will work even when there isn't any time to style it. Also ensure that the right products are purchased to complement the cut.

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.

Stock up on travel size versions of your favourite products and put them into an emergency kit for the car or your purse. That way, you will always be able to look well presented, even if you haven't had time in the morning to put on makeup. Think about items like lipstick, perfume, a small hairbrush and a concealer so that you are always prepared.

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.

Instead of using a foundation, consider cutting beauty regime time considerably by using a tinted moisturizer. This will help to keep the skin looking young and fresh while masking any flaws without caking the skin. Furthermore, a product that already contains SPF will add another benefit by protecting the skin from sun damage that can speed up the aging process.

Familiarize yourself with one or two go-to looks and hairstyles that you can execute well when you are pressed for time. The more you practice these looks, the quicker you will get at completing them. You may have one or two favourite cosmetic products that you cannot do without. Keep these products nearby at all times and learn to live without the unnecessary things to save time.

Finally, as obvious as it may seem, it's important to set aside some time every now and then to do some pampering. Be it a trip to the salon or simply a soak in the tub at home with an exfoliating face mask, it's super important that a mother gets time to look after herself. This will ensure that she is able to perform at her best.
