For moms-to-be and new moms in your life, here’s a safe and simple pampering routine that they deserve on Mother’s Day and all days to come.
“Me Time” doesn’t come often for those navigating through the early days of motherhood. Between feeding one’s child round the clock and keeping up with work, most vanity tables and skincare cabinets of moms are now gathering dust or replaced with crayons and toys. But a superwoman like mom is not an exception to any common beauty struggle and it’s even more amplified with the amount of stress there in. So, this Mother’s Day choose to gift a head-to-toe beauty routine that’s safe for her, her baby and guaranteed to give that extra boost of confidence.
Skin Care: Skin Need – Your Private Formula
Breastfeeding and new moms alike can barely shower for 5 mins without their children insistently knocking on the door or hopping in with them, coupled that with a list of ingredients that they have to avoid, skincare can get too complicated fast for moms. That’s why most crave for simple and clean skincare that brings back the glow the easiest way possible.
A skincare brand that can provide just that is Skin Need – Your Private Formula, an all-natural skincare brand that’s pregnancy and breastfeeding safe. They use advanced technologies like nanosystems, peptide signaling, and plant-based stem cells to produce serums and creams that can be blended to target specific skin concerns.
As the saying goes “mother knows best,” which is why Skin Needs’ customizable formulas are something they’ll truly enjoy since it allows them to tailor-fit the products based on their needs. For example, their moisturizers made from powerful antioxidants that relieve symptoms of dryness are the perfect base for their water-based serums which offer powerful anti-aging benefits. Their packaging is also made with decomposable materials because Mother Earth needs some love as well.
Body Care: For Keeps
A new local line that moms and even the whole family would enjoy is For Keeps, a proudly Filipino wellness lifestyle body care brand that advocates love for people and the planet. Non-toxic, cruelty-free, GMO-free, sulfate-free, and paraben-free–the brand takes clean beauty to the forefront of local skin and body care. From the way they source their natural ingredients to all their products packaged within biodegradable materials, their radically honest beauty philosophy will resonate with all moms.
Take mom on a relaxing tropical vacation every time they shower with their Arise and Unwind collection that consists of two separate body wash made with skin-loving ingredients. My mom’s personal favorite is Arise’s citrusy summer scent that instantly brightens up her mood for the morning while my personal favorite is Unwind’s comforting lavender essential oils to relax after a long day.
Hair Care: Kérastase Genesis
With the beauty of pregnancy hormones now gone, the once lustrous manes of new moms are now prone to breakage and hair fall. With salon trips out of their picture for the fear that their curious little one will be grabbing everything in its reach, why not bring the high-class treatment to them?
A haircare line that supermodel mom Emily Ratajkowski swears by is Kérastase Genesis, a holistic and science-based anti-hair fall collection developed by international health and wellness experts. The luxury hair brand explains hair fall from breakage is caused by weakened hair which can come about from extensive heat, over-styling, and even the sudden change of hormones for women who went through pregnancy. With the Genesis collection they use a fortifying complex comprised of edelweiss native cells and ginger root to strengthen and bring the shine back to the hair.
