Hey you! Check out the Scrubs, the nurse’s guide to good living. Even though I am not a trained nurse, but being a stay-at-home mom makes me feel like one – having to staff the household health care system 24/7, 365 days a year, have to stay fully awake and alert, keeping an eye on the little one and even to work around the clock, on evening (morning, night) shift to breastfeed, well for all that, the guide seems to ring a bell to me.
How about checking their article on wake up looking younger. You moms out there wouldn’t want to look like a grandma on the first day of sending your child to school, right? I for once would love to keep this young face of mine..(hubby, please don’t puke..hehe!)
The guide says, first you have to make sure you have a clean face before you fall asleep. Not that I wear any make up at home, but still after gruelling hours of taking care of the son and settling the house chore, a good face wash won’t hurt either.
And the second tip, moisturize..that’s one aspect of facial I find too hard to do especially when all I want to do is to grab some sleep while the baby is sleeping at night.
Oh, read this :
“Tame stray hairs. Nothing makes you look older than ungroomed eyebrows or those chin hairs that would make a billy goat proud. Plucking and depilatories often cause redness, so grooming at night lets your skin calm down by morning.”
Chin hairs…haha! I thought I am the only one with such ugly hairs at places that should be hairless (at least for women..haha!)
And how about try to sleep on your back, rather than on your face or your stomach? That do-able, if I don’t have to sleep while lying on my side all night long nursing the little one…sigh!
