Becoming a mom is a beautiful journey, but it often comes with changes to your skin—especially during the cold and dry winter months. Paired with hormonal changes, lack of sleep, and the physical demands of caring for a newborn, it’s no wonder postpartum skin can make a turn for the worse. Luckily, the right skincare routine can restore hydration, nourish sensitive skin, and help you glow like never before thanks to Noodle & Boo.

Here are some essential winter skin care tips for new moms, featuring two must-have products from Noodle & Boo: Perfecting Crème and Postpartum Oil. Our Maternity & Beyond collection is safe to use on C-section incision after initial healing and with doctor’s approval.

Take Care of Your Skin From Within

Winter weather can strip your skin of essential moisture. Drink plenty of water throughout the day and consider adding a humidifier to your home to maintain optimal indoor moisture levels. Nutrient-rich foods like fruits and veggies, whole grains, and foods with healthy fats can support healthy skin and your overall health. You’ll need all the energy you can get to care for your little one!

Pamper Your Skin Post-Shower

The winter cold can make postpartum skin even more sensitive. Avoid long, hot showers, as they can further dehydrate your skin. Instead, opt for lukewarm water and follow up immediately with a hydrating product.

Pro Tip: After your regular skin care routine, lock in moisture with Perfecting Crème, a rich, luxurious moisturizer that’s packed with ultra-rich cocoa butter and avocado oil, which help leave skin feeling delightfully soft and smooth. Its gentle formula is safe for sensitive, postpartum skin, making it a perfect daily moisturizer, especially during the winter.

Mom Must-Have: Give your skin extra love and pampering with Postpartum Oil, a therapeutic blend of organic oils formulated to nourish and help restore the condition of postpartum skin. Massage it onto damp skin to seal in hydration, paying extra attention to areas prone to stretching or sensitivity, like your belly and thighs. Finish off with a final layer of Perfecting Crème for added hydration and smoothness.

Our Postpartum Oil can be applied daily. After your shower, gently massage the oil onto areas prone to stretching, such as your belly, hips, thighs and breasts to enhance the skin’s natural elasticity.

Protect Your Skin Barrier

Harsh winds and cold air can weaken your skin barrier, leading to irritation and flakiness. Use products that support skin recovery and create a protective shield against environmental stressors.

Postpartum skin may be more reactive due to hormonal levels fluctuating. As a result, your skin may become more sensitive to skincare products that you were using pre pregnancy! It’s important to have a skincare routine just for the postpartum stage.

Perfecting Crème is ideal for this! It’s formulated with Registril™, a patented peptide blend designed to enhance skin resilience and target stretch marks, helping to keep your skin smooth and protected.

Target Postpartum Skin Changes

Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and it stretched and morphed to accommodate life growing inside you. Postpartum skin often feels unpredictable. Some mamas get dry or oily skin during postpartum. Hormonal changes can also cause dark spots, redness, or uneven texture. To address these concerns, look for products that nourish and balance your skin.

The multitasking Postpartum Oil doesn’t just hydrate—it also improves skin tone and elasticity, helping to reduce the appearance of postpartum changes while keeping your skin baby-soft.

Don’t Forget SPF

Even in winter, harmful UV rays can cause damage to your skin. Always apply sunscreen after your morning skincare routine to protect your skin, especially during outdoor activities like stroller walks.

Keep It Simple

As a new mom, time is precious. Stick to a simple skincare routine that focuses on hydration and protection. Less is best! After a simple body care routine, follow with Postpartum Oil, and finish with Perfecting Crème for targeted hydration and repair.
