Busy Moms Share Their Health and Beauty Hacks

Life with kids can be pure chaos. Moms do everything from packing lunches to coaching soccer teams. With so much to manage, squeezing in a shower seems like a minor miracle, and smearing on makeup is a serious luxury.

So, we asked CNY moms: what are your best time-saving health, fitness, and beauty hacks? Here are the best tips.

Skincare

Start with skincare. Drink a lot of water, exfoliate, and use a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen. (And don’t forget the skin on your neck!) You’ll look healthy and energized without extra makeup.

Haircare

“I love heatless curlers. Your hair will come out differently (ringlets or waves) depending on how tightly you roll it. My hair doesn’t look like the Tik-Tok videos, but it's good for me!”

Eyelashes

“Fake eyelashes or lash lifts! You get the benefit of eye makeup without needing to spend the time each day.”

Makeup

”My makeup routine is simple and quick: foundation, blush, mascara. My goal is adding lip color!”

Alarm Clock

“I get ready before the kids wake up! It’s hard getting up early, but it’s worth it because it helps me feel confident.”

Meal Prep

“I make a big green salad or a fruit salad on Sunday night and pack it into containers. It gives me go-to healthy choices all week.”

Concealer

I love the Maybelline eraser. It’s super easy to apply and blend, and it covers up dark circles when I haven’t slept well the night before.

Get Outside

I reply to emails and do small work tasks from my phone while I’m outside walking. The fresh air and exercise helps me be more productive when I get back to my desk.

Clothing

“Keep your clothing choices simple or build a capsule wardrobe.”
