After baby Skincare Q!

I'm a new mom which is pretty exciting but not without it's cons. I've had my little man for 2 months and I've noticed my skin is becoming increasingly dull/lackluster, my pores on and around my nose seem to be larger (I had normal/dry skin before the birth, little dryness and no excess oil) I haven't experienced any breakouts or anything to that nature just larger pores. My BIGGEST concern are my eyes. They are incredibly dark, dry and are starting to crease and form small little crack type wrinkles underneath. I'm 25 and I'm not ready for this to be happening to me! I eat a relatively healthy diet (avoiding chemicals where possible, no processed foods), drink lots of water and walk pretty much every other day. My current skincare routine consists of washing my make-up off with dr bronners soap (same thing I use to wash my entire body, so nothing special) and dessert essence moisturizer at night, during the day I use Weleda rose moisture cream. This used to work well for me! I don't currently wear SPF daily. I'm looking for any recommendations to help my skin look better! I'm currently nursing so everything I use must be pregnancy safe.

Thanks in advance! <3

Just try adding in our Mamma's Helper Serum to what you are currently doing and see what happens. The serum goes on before your moisturizer.

Aww, cute picture!

I use Mama's helper under my eyes and have not had any problems.

I think I looked like a zombie for several months after having my daughter, the lack of sleep doesn't help. Once your little ones starts sleeping through the night, and you are able to get more rest, your skin should be better too. I remember I had such bad under eye circles and bags, but once I started getting more sleep(which I don't think happened till my daughter was like 1 1/2 - she's not a very good sleeper) then my under eye area improved dramatically.
Of course in June I get to look forward to more dark under eye circles and bags as we welcome baby #2.
