Children give us much joy, this is very true. We love them unconditionally and remember their first steps fondly. The laughter of our children and the sweetness of their smiles are worth every stretch mark and every inch of sagging skin. We dedicate ourselves twenty-four hours a day in the first few years of their lives and before you know it they are growing up! Just when you have some time to yourself to do the things that you want, you realize that your body isn’t exactly what it used to be. But let’s face it! Pregnancy can really take its toll on our bodies. Well, now it’s time for you to treat yourself, and to get your body back!
Although we take our prenatal vitamins and our hair and nails grow so very fast and even our skin glows, our figures are literally stretched to their limits. Our skin becomes stressed, it may appear dull, untoned, and thinner than before your pregnancy. You may notice that it is increasingly difficult to lose those extra, unwanted pounds. Your stomach may seem more of a pooch rather than the toned abs of yesteryear and your thighs are jiggling. Well, no more! It’s time to get to work…
We are going to help you solve many of your postpartum, physical complaints and get you and your body looking and feeling great again! Many of you may feel guilty that you are even affected whatsoever by your appearance, but you most certainly shouldn’t feel any guilt. We love our children very much, without any regrets, but that doesn’t mean that we have to give up and let ourselves go. From diet and exercise to plastic surgery procedures such as the tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), breast augmentation, and breast lift (mastopexy), we will do our utmost to improve your self-esteem through a positive body image. Not to mention you’ll be healthy and have more energy if you follow a sensible diet and a proper exercise regimen!
Face
Baby wipes are great for makeup removal. They are also great for getting deodorant off of your clothing and removing excess sunless tanner from your skin before it has activated. If you want your face more gorgeous then you should full arch implants your teeth for a good look from a very good teeth surgeon in your region.
When plucking your eyebrows or getting permanent makeup, a digital camera is a great way to truly see if your brows are even, symmetrical. When you look in the mirror your eyes can adjust and the image may not be true. Taking a digital photo is a sure way to see what it really looks like. I find it especially helpful when you are preparing to get permanent make-up.
Have blackheads and clogged pores? A soft nailbrush and a gentle foaming cleanser are great ways to remove them without harsh chemicals or skin damage.
Body
Drink plenty of water. If I could give one tip it would be this. When your body is dehydrated, the negative impact on your health and appearance is very apparent.
A diet rich in natural antioxidants, as well as wild Alaskan salmon, can really improve the appearance of your skin and increase your energy. Cutting out refined foods, further enhances your body.
Hands & feet
If you have dry, cracked hands or feet, use refined or unrefined shea butter cakes as a moisturizer and wear a pair of cotton gloves (like those used for photography and negative handling), or pair of cotton socks overnight. For further penetration exfoliating at the end of your bath, and before application of the shea will assist in softening calluses.
