Beauty Tips For Busy Moms To Follow

By Janine Hughes


Being a mother is a round-the-clock job that requires a great deal of time, money and effort. As a result, many mothers don't often have a lot of time, money or effort to invest in themselves, particularly if they happen to be working as well. These beauty tips for busy moms will help to make it a little easier to look and feel good even when things get hectic.

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.

Using a dry shampoo can really cut down on the time it takes to wash regularly. This is the perfect product for oily hair. Additionally, women who colour their hair will benefit from using a dry shampoo as it cuts down on the need to actually wash the hair as often, which would inevitably dull the colour.

Travel size versions of many beauty products can be purchased at the drug store. These are particularly useful for keeping a stash in the car or in a handbag, just in case it becomes a little difficult to fit in a full grooming or makeup regime in the morning. Include a small hairbrush, concealer, lipstick and perfume samples to be prepared for anything during the day.

You may not often be able to get a good night's rest and as a result, you may experience puffiness or dark circles around your eyes. Combat this with an ice pack for less than fifteen minutes on your eyes or even a frozen teaspoon on each eye. There are also masks you can try, but if you don't have the time, then store your regular eye gel in the fridge so that it works for this problem as well.

Don't worry about having the time to apply foundation when you can easily cut corners with a tinted moisturizer. Not only is it beneficial to your skin, it will help you look more youthful because it is not as cakey as foundation. Furthermore, if you get one with sun protection included then you will benefit even further in the long run as you combat the aging process.

Get a handle on a hairstyle or makeup look that works well. The more these looks are practiced, the quicker they are when pressed for time. Women like all sorts of different cosmetics, so figure out what works best and eliminate everything else when necessary. Keep the most important products handy for a touch up whenever necessary.

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.
