Chasing the kiddos around all day works up a sweat…but, um, that’s not really the “glow” we’re after. Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and we can’t think of a better excuse to pamper the woman we love most (or ourselves!) with a day of beauty. Annie Atkinson of She’s In The Glow is sharing her 7 favorite beauty buys to leave you truly glowing, whether you’ve been busy corralling the troops, tackling your to-do list, or just, you know, doing it all.
Whether you are a new or experienced mother, your skin and mood might need a little extra attention. While some of you lucky ones might be feeling like a glowing goddess, others might feel exhausted and worn out from all of the work it takes to keep up with that little one. In honor of Mother’s Day, I wanted to feature a few of the best products for all the moms out there who need a little extra beauty treatment. I focused on skin nourishing creams and body balms, luxurious bath oils, aromatic scents, lovely lip balms and hydrating masks.
Keeping things all natural and organic is super important too. Purely natural skincare products that are made with really high quality ingredients give the skin an amazing and nourished radiance that you just can’t get with synthetic products. Switching over is a lifestyle choice, and now, as natural skincare science gets more advanced, you don’t have to sacrifice results. In fact, your skin can be better than ever. And why not use safe products as a mother? Wouldn’t you want the same for your child? But, of course, make sure to ask your doctor before switching up your routine, especially new mothers, to make sure you find what is right for you.
So for those of you who seek healthy, luminous skin, these 7 au natural beauty products are the best of the best:
