Take an Evening Walk
As you navigate the beautiful yet demanding journey of motherhood, taking a stroll in the fresh evening air can do wonders for your physical and mental well-being. It offers a gentle form of exercise.
It is also a great opportunity to disconnect from your busy days and transition into the night. You can take your baby and partner out to accompany you during this walk and have some much needed family quality time!

Set Up your Space
Setting up a soothing space for your self-care routine as a new mom is crucial for unwinding. Begin by decluttering and organizing your surroundings, creating a sense of calm.
Soft, warm lighting with dimmable lamps or fairy lights can set the right mood. Add comforting elements like a plush pillow or a cozy blanket where you can unwind. Incorporate soothing scents through scented candles, like lavender or chamomile, to promote relaxation.
Consider playing calming music or nature sounds in the background to disconnect. This dedicated space will become your haven for self-nurturing and rejuvenation.
Nighttime Skincare Routine

We recommend you opt for a simple and minimalist skincare routine to save your time and yet maximise your skin’s health! Having a minimalistic skincare routine makes it significantly simpler to establish and stick to a consistent regimen, making your self-care a part of your lifestyle!
Start with a gentle cleanser. Follow it up with a multi-purpose facial oil or serum with Rosehip Seed Oil like the Luxe Night Elixir.
