Skin care routine

Hi! What skin care routine do you recommend for a combo feeding mama? My skin looks awful these days! I used to use retinol before start trying to have a baby and my baby is almost 6 months now! So I haven’t followed any proper skin care routine for over 1.5 years now and my skin looks like 10 years older and so bad! I’m wondering what do you all use while still breastfeeding?

Shoot me a message i do skincare for a living!

I don’t use any retinol. Just have a good cleanser, a good exfoliater once a week, serum, tinted BB cream spf50 (I wear sun protection every single day) then light makeup, at night I swipe off my makeup then wash face again (so double cleanse) I tone, eye cream, serum and night cream. Collagen mask once a week. I did ALL that through pregnancy and BF as it doesn’t have retinol. As for actual brands you just have to trial and error what brands work for your skin

This seems like a great routine @Kellie thanks for sharing! I checked a couple of face serum and masks and I’m not sure about their ingredients and whether they are safe while breastfeeding! Do you know of any safe ones? My other problem is that my baby is literally leaking my face and neck these days as she has sore gums. I’ve been trying to wear sunscreen daily but I had to stop that as well since she just has her hands and mouth all over me! 😅

Well I was more careful when I was pregnant and much more lax when I was BF as to what products I used I mainly stayed away from retinol, I Bf for a whole 3yrs so hard to away from everything for 3yrs I even had a drink every now and again and Bf 2hrs later knowing all the alcohol would’ve dissipated by then (another subject altogether) but I just continued all my products because I didn’t have retinol anyway. Get a teether for the baby, freeze some gel teethers
