  • Mommy Hacks on Daytime in Chicago

    Mommy Hacks on Daytime in Chicago

    The biggest complaint we get from new moms is SLEEP! AND I’m sorry mommy but we can’t get you more sleep, but we can help you take care of that skin, those thinning nails and a few other ideas for keeping you sane and even glam for all those new baby selfies! Today we featured some tried and true products on WGN’s Daytime in Chicago.

    #1 Breastfeeding:
    Are your lips the driest they’ve ever been and nipples screaming for a rescue? These two things usually don’t align with the same product but the Multipurpose Superbalm by LANO is pretty much the bomb of balms!

    PRICE: $17
    SHOP: @Ulta

    #2 Is Your Skin Having a Hormonal Moment?
    There’s this weird thing that happens after bambino arrives- our skin tends to get a bit emotional and hormonal. If you’re breastfeeding it can be at its worst. Most moms want to keep what they’re putting on their skin free of Vitamin A and other harmful ingredients but want something that is still working on their concerns. I have Daytime and Nighttime options for you here! 

    Daytime: Honestly, you can’t go cleaner than 97% natural and plant-based.

    Nighttime: This is where we tend to bring out treatment products and Isdin’s Age Contour safely addresses a lot of mommy postpartum skin issues like discoloration and bringing back the calm to the skin. 

    ISDIN Age Contour Night
    PRICE: $125

    #3 Is all about nails
     Most of us stop taking prenatal vitamins after birth and typically our nails start to suffer. If you’re peeling and splitting you must use this #1 cuticle oil! It’s mind-blowing for anyone, not just moms! 

    Cuccio Naturale Cuticle Oil
    PRICE: $10-$12
    SHOP: @amazon
