Five tricks to feel beautiful after childbirth
You have a child and the joy is immense because the baby has finally arrived. However, the changes your body experiences after pregnancy are many, and this makes many "new moms" feel less attractive after delivery. Therefore, we bring you 5 little tricks to make you feel more beautiful after giving birth.
The arrival of the baby means a huge change in the woman's routine: one forgets herself to focus on the baby, on her care, her feeding and her hygiene, but the mother also matters, especially her health inside and through outside.
There is no reason not to take care of each other a little, because these "self-care" will also give you confidence in yourself, which is necessary to avoid the common postpartum depression. Here are five simple tips but they can make a big difference.
5 beauty tricks for after childbirth
1. Dress with comfortable clothes after delivery. Choose a comfortable outfit, which you can wash without spoiling too much and with which you feel comfortable. Some black leggings with a cheerful camisole, for example, can be a good option. Thus, you will be comfortable for the tasks of home and baby care, but "visible" for when visitors arrive to see the baby, which will not make you feel uncomfortable for not being well dressed.
2. Take care of your skin in the postpartum period. It does not take long to get a little moisturizer and sunscreen before going for a walk with your baby, but this small gesture makes a big difference in your skin, which has a bad time and gets dry especially during sleepless nights for taking care of the baby. We are not talking about a "luxury beauty routine" with a multitude of products and almost an hour in front of the mirror: the simple is the best. A mild cleanser and a moisturizer with sunscreen, and another moisturizer for the night is the best.
3. Hydrate from the inside. We talk a lot about the importance of hydrating babies well, but what about their mothers? As well. Your body has done something incredible (it has engendered a new being) and it needs water, especially if you are breastfeeding your child. Keeping hydrated is essential for optimal recovery and comfort, which also provides a plus of beauty.
4. Take care of your hair after giving birth. After delivery, estrogen decreases abruptly and the beautiful hair that you wore during pregnancy can now appear drier, brittle and damaged, and worse, it tends to fall. To stop hair loss you can use revitalizing blisters, which are applied to damp hair once or twice a week. For the lack of brightness, strength and vitality, do not forget to use a nourishing mask, which you can use at this time, several times a week.
5. Stops the appearance of stretch marks after delivery. Stretch marks occur due to a break in the skin when it is forced to distend excessively as it happens, especially in the abdomen, during pregnancy. If you already took care during pregnancy, do not stop doing it in the postpartum, at which time you should help your skin to recover its initial appearance and firmness. To do this, use products that contain collagen, elastin and vitamin E. Remember that stretch marks, once they have made their appearance on the skin is difficult to erase, although it is time to improve their appearance based on creams with rosehip, while They are reddish and before they turn white.
Tips to improve your wellbeing in the postpartum
- Ask for help during the postpartum period. Yes, you are not a "super woman" nor does anyone expect anything from you. Especially in the first weeks, when the change is so great and work at home multiplies, you can ask for help from a family member to feed you, help you with cleaning, and so on. This does not mean that you are weak or that you "take advantage" of anyone, so do not feel guilty: you need help and you must ask for it until you get used to the new situation. This will make you relax a bit, which will also be noticed in the house.
- A photo session with your baby. Yes, it seems silly, but it is not. Nowadays, photo sessions of moms and dads with the newborn baby have become very fashionable. This, in addition to a precious memory for a lifetime, is a perfect opportunity to feel beautiful: put on that dress that you like tango, fix your hair and feel as beautiful as you are with, yes, total naturalness: you are a woman and a mother, not a model. You will have a great time and you will enjoy feeling "famous" for a little while.
These little tips can help you feel prettier after childbirth, but the essential is in you, in your mind and your thoughts. Appreciate yourself, do not be overwhelmed and relax. You are a woman, not a "super woman". The change in having a baby is great, but not impossible.Because of your situation millions of women have passed every day so, instead of seeing everything "bad" (work, few hours of sleep), focus on the good that the baby brings: illusion, life, and many adventures that you will live hereinafter. Feel beautiful as a way to love yourself.
