7 Amazing Post-Baby Beauty Products for Skincare-Loving Moms

Here are a few outstanding beauty products that new moms can feel good about using. Take notes!

Mama Love

Kermit was right: “It ain’t easy being green!” But in this case, I’m referring to green beauty.

As a devoted skin care enthusiast who prides herself on being an actual product guinea pig, navigating my routine was challenging post-baby. As a breastfeeding mom, you have to be very careful in terms of what you use on your skin. Not only do you not want to use products that might cross your breast milk, you also want to be particularly conscious of what you use on your skin, as your skin will most certainly be in close contact with baby’s skin (All day cuddles? Yes, please!).

So, while it’s always best to check with your doctor first, I’ve pulled together a list of products that new moms can feel good about using!
