5+ Postpartum Skin Care Tips

After having both of my kids, I noticed a big change in my skin. I found that postpartum, my skin was more itchy, dry, and sensitive than ever before. When you’re postpartum, your hormones decide to have a field day and are constantly all over the place. This can affect hair texture and thickness, mood, skin texture, weight, and so much more.

8 Tips to Reduce Postpartum Hair Loss
8 Tips to Reduce Postpartum Hair Loss

All too often mamas make a list for what baby will need when they arrive. They list cribs, diapers, bouncers, toys, and clothes, but forget to add a few things that mama will need once the baby is here, too. We spend so much time thinking about baby that we forget mom’s postpartum care. Hair health is important postpartum because hair loss is very common (and I don’t mean from wanting to pull it out!). Postpartum hair loss took me by surprise after Aimery was born, so I made sure I was ready the second time around with Adlavie. It can happen anytime postpartum, but around month three or four is when a lot of mamas start to notice a dramatic difference. The length of time we experience this can vary mama to mama, but I started to notice regrowth around six months. If this issue sounds all too familiar, I’ve got your back. Keep reading to find out some of my best tips to reduce postpartum hair loss!

Grilled BBQ Chicken Tacos
Grilled BBQ Chicken Tacos

We love grilling in the summer, so we are constantly having BBQ chicken in our meal routine.

I was amazed by how the flavors worked in these grilled BBQ Chicken Tacos. Keep reading for this easy recipe - only 5 ingredients!
