Keep it in the fridge for an extra shot of cool Besides getting more sleep, one of the best ways to wake up tired skin is to up your hydration. And while we’re always trying to drink more water, our skincare regimes usually take a back step. Skin expert Chelsee Lewis advises, “Busy Mums who want to improve moisture levels should look to use hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid. They can also keep skin looking glowing by keeping a face spray handy and spritzing it on throughout the day”.The Mum Club Editor, Lydia House, says, “Since, following Chelsee’s advice, I keep mine in my car and spritz it before every drive. A few weeks have passed, and I’ve already noticed a considerable difference in my skin.” 1.

A Top Facialist Shares Her Best Tired-Skin TipsRead More Knackered? Yep, same!

Superstar facialist, skin expert *and mum, Michaella Bolder, shares her favourite tips and products for making your face look less worn out. “Whenever i’m feeling tired or groggy, I like to ice my face. Simply take an ice cube straight from the freezer and wrap it in a thin face cloth and smooth it over your skin. Move in fluid motions and gently swoosh it around the eye area and then up and down the neck. This cooling method instantly reduces swelling and puffiness as it shrinks blood vessels, and it also tightens the skin.” Incorporate Facial Massage Into Your Routine “Use a gentle cleanser and try and incorporate some facial massage like in the video shown below. It’s so good for brightening and lifting. I like to use Elemis Pro Cleansing Balm, Sunday Riley and Emma Hardie. They’re all fabulous cleansers that you can do this with.” Elemis Pro Cleansing Balm Use an Oil to Massage “If you prefer to use an oil, then keep one by your bedside and do it when you get into bed at night after cleasning.” Darphin 8-Flower Golden Nectar Oil (30ml) Use a Multi-Tasking Serum “Always use Vitamin C in the morning to help brighten and stimulate collagen. Renergie H.C.F Triple Serum from Lancome is great as it’s got Vitamin C in it and moisturising hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, it’s three serums in one, so great for busy mums.” Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F Triple Serum, 50ml Don’t Forget to Moisturise “A simple step that’s often forgotten. I really like Augustinus Bader, which is great for moisturising dry skin.” Augustinus Bader, The Rich Cream Cool Tired Skin “If you want a lighter moisturiser, I recommend a gel-based formula. Keep it in the fridge so it’s extra cool. I’m currently using Clarins. Anything cooling is great for calming tired skin.” Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Matte Gel, 75ml Opt for a Lightweight Eye Cream “Advanced Genefique is a great eye cream, it’s a very light formula that can be tapped into the skin and doesn’t make it feel tacky.” Lancôme Advanced Génifique Eye Cream, 15ml Exfoliate Often “Exfoliating your skin is good for brightening and I’d use a gentle chemical exfoliator and do this at least once a week.” MEDIK8 PRESS AND GLOW TONIC REFILL 200ML The Most Important Skin Tip “Protecting your skin is the best way to stop signs of ageing. So if you want your skin to look more youthful, this is a step you should never skip.” Murad City Skin Age Defense Broad Spectrum SPF50 PA ++++ 50ml “These simple steps will make a huge difference to the appearance of your skin.” Follow Michaella on Instagram *All products on this page have been selected by our editorial team, however, we may make a commission on some products. Tags tired face, TIRED SKIN The Best Facials for Your Very Tired FaceRead More Post author By The Mum Club Post date 13 June 2023 The Best Facials for Your Very Tired Face Resembling a zombie? It’s time to schedule some time out and book in for one of these skin brightening treatments. 1. Best for getting a glow (that lasts) “Skinwork facials are a step up from what you usually find on the high street, as science-led treatments and products are used in every facial they offer. My new favourite treatment is the Skin Fix Facial, which lasts 50 minutes and includes a deep cleanse with extraction, a high-tech heated mask, a mini massage, microdermabrasion, and a lactic and mandelic acid-perfecting peel. Not sure what all of that is? It doesn’t matter, as all the expert therapists are highly trained and will tailor whatever facial you choose to suit you. I always leave feeling like my skin has had a real clean out, and the glow lasts way more than a few days.” TMC Editor, Lydia House Skinwork Skin Fix Facial 2. Best for hydration Things like forgetting to drink enough water or constant breastfeeding mean that new mums are more prone to dehydrated skin than anyone. So a facial that concentrates on hydration is just what you need. Hydrafacial is our favourite way to regain a glow and is a high-tech treatment that you can find pretty much everywhere. It’s even available in Jersey!” says TMC Co-Founder Lauren Webber, who gets her fix at Elizabeth Butler Aesthetics. The high-tech machine has a wand that can exfoliate, extract impurities, and deliver potent serums to the skin. Like a top-tier car wash, your skin looks clean, polished and a darn sight less tired. HydraFacial 3. Best for lifting “I instantly felt lifted from my FACEGYM treatment, but the biggest takeaway is that you need to consistently do it to see results. I’m not interested in getting Botox or enhancements, and I found this is a great way to get similar results in a natural, non-invasive way. I had my first treatment last year in my 2nd trimester (just the hand sculpt – you cannot use the EMS technology when pregnant) and have since gone back to have many more treatments. They also gave me tips and exercises that I could do myself at home to help with maintenance between treatments.” TMC Brand Partnerships Assistant, Andi Venardos FACEGYM Signature Sculpt 4. Best for skin-plumping “I went to this one a few months after having my son, and it was absolute heaven. Each facial is tailored towards your individual skin needs. My skin was quite dehydrated, so after a deep cleanse and exfoliation, the therapist applied multiple masks and paired this with massage to help boost brightness. It made my skin look so much better. I looked fresher, and it was lovely to take a moment for myself.” TMC Co-Founder Lauren Webber 111 SKIN Celestial Black Diamond Non-Surgical Face Lift 5. Best for relaxation “Let someone take care of you (and your face) for a change. And book in for this dreamy holistic facial. Perfect for new mums or anyone who needs a rest. It takes you to new levels of relaxation, as they use guided meditation to help you pause external thoughts and the constant drill of your ever-growing to-do list. Your face is given a deep cleanse and exfoliation as you’re cocooned inside a warm blanket, and then they apply soothing and nourishing treatments. You also get a luxurious massage with warm ceramic Akwaterra pods that boost circulation and brightness. And while the skincare works its magic, crystals are laid on and around you, and your mind is calmed with guided breath meditation. It’s pure heaven!” TMC Style and Content Creator, Luzaan Shaw The Harmony Facial 6. Best for an immediate glow Fancy a trip to Chelsea? Make sure you stop by Sarah Chapman’s newly-refreshed skincare hub ‘The Glow Hub, which offers a menu of quick, concentrated treatments with glow-giving effects. Offering micro versions of the longer treatments found in the main treatment rooms, it’s the perfect place for busy mums who want a quick lifting massage or an LED boost.
