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.

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.

Especially if your hair is oily, you should use a dry shampoo whenever you can, which will save you a lot of time on washing your hair. If you happen to have a colour in your hair, you will also have the added bonus of preserving your colour because you won't be washing as often. This can then save money as a result.

Many products can be bought in smaller sizes so it is really not an issue to have an emergency beauty kit in a purse or in the car. This helps on those days when everyone gets off to a late start. Items in the kit should include concealer, a hairbrush, lipstick and also some sort of fragrance, which comes in samples that can be used once or twice.

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 time to put on foundation when a tinted moisturizer will work just as well and cut the morning routine practically in half. A tinted moisturizer won't cake the skin, allowing it to breath and maintain a youthful appearance. Getting products with SPF will inevitably go a long way in protecting the skin from the sun, which can often show signs of aging quicker.

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.

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.
