With motherhood comes so many changes to a woman’s body, especially her face. Here are some of the most common skin problems that moms have and how with a little makeup magic, they can easily be concealed, treated or prevented.
1. DARK UNDEREYES
Dark circles around the eyes can be caused by a number of reasons—lack of sleep, fatigue, health problems, poor health habits, aging and genetics. It may be something temporary or permanent. Either way, no one wants it. An emollient concealer with peach undertones will help you hide the bluish/purplish discoloration.

2. DULL COMPLEXION
As we age, our skin loses elasticity, which, with the addition of stress, pollution and an unhealthy lifestyle, becomes dull. Bring back that radiance by using a liquid-illuminating product which blends better on the skin and which looks more natural than its powder counterpart. Lightly apply on cheekbones, forehead, bridge of the nose, on the cupid’s bow and inner corners of eyes for that youthful glow.

3. TIRED EYES
Our eyes express so much more than we can possibly think. And when you’re tired, your eyes will look dry and red. Brighten up your peepers with a nude eyeliner in either light peach or pale pink as this will cancel out the redness while still achieving an au naturel look. Apply on your waterline to appear more awake in an instant.

4. OILY SKIN / ENLAGED PORES
If you have oily skin, consider yourself lucky because you’ll probably have fewer wrinkles than those with dry skin. But the truth of the matter is, no one really likes oily skin. And those with oily skin tend to have larger pores. A trip to the dermatologist’s office will address this problem spot on, but there are products that will help keep the oil at bay and minimize the appearance of pores.

5. DRY SKIN
Moroccan Argan Oil is an efficient moisturizer especially for skin that feels tight and rough but has some flaking. Often referred to as a miracle product, not only for the face but also for the hair, lips and nails—your whole body actually! It also helps treat burns and some skin diseases like eczema, rosacea, psoriasis. To top it all off, it is a great protective base and/or primer prior to makeup application.
