Natural Skin Care after Pregnancy

1

Since having our 6 1/2 month old, Sedona, in February our life has been a whirlwind! Even though it seems like yesterday that we just brought her home, being parents has been so rewarding. It’s fun, hectic, stressful, and beautiful all rolled into one. Now that she’s getting older, which is so crazy to say, I’m getting more “mommy” time back for doing and discovering new things. 

I’ve realized how motherhood, lack of sleep and post pregnancy can affect your skin. I’ve always used natural skincare products by using the Belli Skincare line, but I’ve also discovered some other awesome brands as well. 

  • Citrine Natural Beauty Bar is a great local store in Phoenix where I go for my natural skincare and makeup products. Some of my favorite brands they carry are; Kypris, Patyka, May Lindstrom, Tata Harper, and Ilia, for their tinted lip conditioners.
  • I’m obsessed with May Lindstrom The Honey Mud, that I use as a mask or a cleanser
  • The Youth Dew, which is face oil that can be applied day or night for hydration.
  • Also, Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask, that controls breakouts 
  • Restorative Eye Cream, to ward off pesky dark circles from many late night/early morning feedings.natural skin care

Whenever my skin needs a pick me up, I apply one of my masks and take a couple minutes of  “me” time while daddy is doing story time. I just feel good knowing everything I put on my face is completely natural. Both of Tata and Mays products smell amazing with hints of honey and floral essences. Some products can work great, but have an awful smell. Besides the fact the store has a lot of goodies, Citrine is one of my favorite Instagram pages. It’s fun, new, there’s always a promotion going on, and exciting products coming out. They’re also very helpful by answering any questions or concerns you may have just by a direct DM or a quick email. Their team is amazing and they love what they do!

When I do get a chance to relax and put my feet up, or enjoy my favorite coffee without microwaving it 10 times (You know what I mean mommas!) I always try to pamper myself. Every momma deserves it! I tell all my friends and family about Citrine and Belli because these are products that I use and trust everyday. I’ve noticed how my skin has improved and looks healthier within the last couple months. I look forward to my mornings of family time, applying a relaxing mask and seeing our little one grow!
