As a mum of two and a business owner, I know how easy it is to put yourself last — but I’ve learned that when I prioritise my health, my skin, energy, and confidence transform. These are the habits that have helped me feel like myself again: 1️⃣ Mindset first I remind myself daily why I’m showing up for my health — to have the energy to be present for my kids, feel confident in my skin, and model self-care for them. That mindset shift alone helps me make choices that serve me long-term. 2️⃣ Movement that supports my body I choose gentle but effective exercise like Pilates, bodyweight strength training, and daily walks with my family. It’s not about “bouncing back” — it’s about building strength, improving posture, and keeping my energy stable. 3️⃣ Lymphatic + circulation support Postpartum can come with fluid retention and puffiness, so I love starting my mornings with a quick facial cup or dry brush to reduce inflammation and boost circulation. Even 5 minutes feels like a mini reset. 4️⃣ Nourishment over restriction I focus on nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory meals: healthy fats and protein at every meal. I limit refined sugar and highly processed foods to keep my skin clear and energy steady. 5️⃣ Barrier-loving skincare I keep my skincare minimal but powerful — focusing on products that repair and protect my barrier. Consistency is key, even if I only have 3 minutes in the bathroom. Collagen C Serum is a MUST in every mums routine! 6️⃣ Rest wherever I can get it Postpartum sleep can be unpredictable, but I protect my rest by going to bed early when possible, and creating a calming wind-down routine so my body knows it’s time to switch off. 7️⃣ Daily hydration + minerals I aim for 3L of water each day, and add chia seeds or electrolytes (Celtic sea salt) for an extra energy boost (especially after breastfeeding or sweaty walks). This isn’t about perfection — it’s about small, daily choices that help me feel grounded, energised, and more like me again. #postpartumwellness #mumoftwo #skinbarrierhealth #mumsupport #postpartumskincare
