It can be tough to balance self-care with the rest of your seemingly endless mommy duties. Tired, stressed skin is usually dull or discolored and appears dry or patchy. If you’re noticing more crow’s feet, dark under-eye bags, or abnormal breakouts, it’s time to start looking for stressed skin remedies to tackle those concerns.

Stressed Skin Remedies at Skin by Lovely

Oftentimes, over-the-counter drugstore skin care products simply don’t cut it. Professional treatments are quick, comfortable, and long-lasting solutions that can help you look and feel more like yourself in no time. Here are our top stressed skin remedies that moms love here at Skin by Lovely.

Sleep Deprived Moms: Dermal Filler Eye Treatments for Sleepy Eyes

A simple way to treat dark circles, under-eye bags, and fine lines around the eyes is by receiving a dermal filler treatment that specifically targets your eye area. One popular treatment is Restylane, a hyaluronic acid filler that plumps up your tired under eyes. Hyaluronic acid is an important molecule in the body that kick-starts collagen production and draws water into the tissues, making them appear plump and healthy. Another way to recover the lost volume and tissue elasticity around your eyes is with Juvederm Volbella. This is also a hyaluronic acid filler in a smooth gel form that treats loss of volume, bags, and wrinkles under or around the eyes.

Speaking of lines around the eyes, crow’s feet can be treated with botulinum toxin injections like Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin, which can also provide you with a non-surgical brow lift to help you look and feel more awake. But Botox and Botox alternatives can do far more than that.

Worried Moms: Botox for Worry Lines

If your kids have you constantly feeling worried or frazzled, you may have started to develop the dreaded “worry lines.” There are a few stressed skin remedies that can effectively reverse the appearance of these lines.

The first is Botox, a well-known treatment that relaxes the facial muscles. This helps to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving you back the youthful skin you had before your kids added some extra stress to your life.

Another way to treat those creases is with Dysport. Dysport is able to help improve the appearance of deep frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead creases. It pairs well with a dermal filler treatment for extra rejuvenation.

Xeomin is in the same family as Dysport and Botox, which means that it is able to correct deep or moderate worry lines, forehead creasing and other upper face wrinkles. Unlike other treatments, Xeomin does not contain any additives or protective proteins, which means it’s often the preferred solution for moms who are worried about allergic reactions.

Busy Moms: Chemical Peels and Microneedling for Skin Care Woes

If you are always on the go, it may be hard to keep up a skincare routine. An easy way to correct damaged skin is with a chemical peel or microneedling treatment. These stressed skin remedies offer long-lasting results and can give you a fresh start for taking better care of your skin at home.

The Vi Peel is gentle and safe enough to be used around the eye area. It triggers collagen and elastin production, softens wrinkles, and brightens skin. It is safe for all skin types.

For serious pigmentation issues, the Cosmelan Depigmentation Peel is the best option. This peel is ideal for moms who are struggling with melasma. Cosmelan can even help with the appearance of scars.

Finally, microneedling is a safe alternative to chemical peels. It involves creating controlled “micro-injuries” to your skin with the use of special needles. This prompts your skin to initiate the healing process, which allows it to increase collagen production to smooth your skin’s texture.
