My daughter's recent arrival has naturally flipped my life upside down. Showers are now franticly squeezed in during nap time, and professional blowouts are a distant memory. Still, I haven't given up on myself completely. Here, a list of products that have helped me feel presentable throughout the first month of motherhood. Use them if you've got a new baby, a new job, new boyfriend, or anything else robbing you of precious beauty sleep.
1. Aside from occasional use on long-haul flights, I've never been a devotee of facial wipes. But
Olay's Daily Facial Express Wet Cleansing Cloths (above right) have changed my mind. One swipe completely removes all traces of makeup while leaving skin hydrated, so I don't feel too guilty skipping moisturizer before collapsing into bed.
2. Who says being a mother means you can't be fancy?
La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Body Emulsion cream sits proudly on my bathroom counter so I remember to slather some over my legs and belly daily (the caviar-infused formula firms and tones).
3. A dab of
Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream instantly smooths and depuffs while absorbing quickly so I can still layer on the concealer.
4. I don't even think of touching my newborn without using
EO Liquid Hand Sanitizer. Great for eager-to-hold guests as well.
5.
Butter London Handbag Holiday Cuticle Oil's chemical-free formula heals hangnails and makes my unmanicured hands look polished in seconds.
