Hi Queens
I’m excited to share that I recently welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world. I can’t wait to update you all on my pregnancy journey, so please stay tuned for more details! As many of you know, navigating skincare after giving birth has been quite a challenge for me, particularly with the post-pregnancy pigmentation I’ve been experiencing. You might have heard the old wives’ tale that carrying a baby girl can take away some of your beauty—well, it seems my little one has certainly claimed a bit of mine! If you’re like me and have been facing issues with uneven skin tone, dark spots, or just feeling generally dull, I’d love to share a glimpse into my post-baby skincare routine that has truly made a difference for me.
Back to School Must Have Now: College Edition 2024
Cleanse with ma:noy – Pure Cleansing Oil
I start my routine with this cleansing oil that effectively removes makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum without irritating my skin. The blend of argan oil and 14 plant-derived oils not only melts away impurities but also nourishes my skin, maintaining its moisture and pH balance. It’s a gentle way to begin my skincare routine while ensuring my skin stays hydrated.
Cleanse with La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Facial Cleanser
Another gentle cleanser that’s perfect for my sensitive skin. It effectively removes makeup, dirt, and excess oil without stripping my skin’s natural moisture. With niacinamide, it helps soothe any irritation while prepping my skin for the next steps.
Exfoliate with Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
Exfoliation is key in dealing with pigmentation, and this BHA liquid exfoliant does the job without being too harsh. It unclogs pores, smooths out my skin texture, and helps even out my skin tone. Plus, it’s gentle enough for daily use, which is essential for maintaining progress.
Brighten with VALITIC Kojic Acid Vitamin C and Retinol Soap Bars
For targeted treatment, I use this soap bar that combines kojic acid, vitamin C, and retinol to fade dark spots. The turmeric in it helps with inflammation and scarring, leaving my skin looking more radiant. I use it on areas that need extra attention, like my face and neck.
Treat with SeoulCeuticals Korean Skin Care 20% Vitamin C Serum
Vitamin C is a must for brightening the skin and fading dark spots. This potent serum not only targets pigmentation but also reduces fine lines and wrinkles, giving my skin a youthful glow. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my complexion after consistent use.
Tone with Dickinson’s Original Witch Hazel Pore Perfecting Toner
This 100% natural witch hazel toner is a staple in my routine. It helps to balance oil production and refine my pores without overdrying. It’s also fragrance-free, which is great for sensitive skin, and perfect for calming any postpartum skin changes.
Protect with AHC Natural Perfection Fresh Sun Stick SPF 50+/PA++++
Sun protection is non-negotiable, especially when dealing with pigmentation. This sun stick offers high UV protection without the sticky feel, making it a breeze to reapply throughout the day. Its natural ingredients also ensure that it’s gentle on my skin.
Moisturize with La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer
To lock in all the goodness, I finish with this oil-free moisturizer. It’s packed with ceramides and niacinamide, which hydrate my skin and repair its natural barrier, leaving it soft and supple.
This routine has been my go-to for managing pigmentation post-baby. Consistency is key, so stick with it, and you’ll see your skin gradually return to its glowing, even-toned self.
