thedermadr ‘s 5 simple, healthy, and realistic skin care tips for busy mums, taken from today’s Big MOB Mum Meetup cratewalthamstow :

1.  Prioritise hydration
Keep a water bottle or flask with you. Add lemon or herbal tea if plain water feels boring.

2.  Simplify your skincare routine
A complicated routine isn’t necessary if you’re super busy with a baby.
Focus on:
1.  Gentle cleanse 
2.  Hydrating moisturiser
3.  Broad spectrum sunscreen
If you can add in vitamin C serum in the morning then that’s a bonus. Or retinol in the evening if you’re not breastfeeding.

3.  Eat skin-supporting snacks
Eat foods high in antioxidants like berries, nuts, yoghurt, carrot sticks, avocado on wholegrain toast. Omega-3s (salmon, chia seeds, walnuts) help with inflammation and dryness.

4.  Prioritise sleep when you can
Lack of sleep increases cortisol, which worsens acne, dullness, and dryness.
Short naps, earlier wind-down, or reducing screen time at night all help.

5.  Consider collagen supplements
