MARIAHC &
I became a new mommy in 2011 & since then, my appearance has faltered. When i get payed, all of my paychecks goes on bills & i barely have enough for my daughters diapers. I dislike doing my hair. I would like to go to a beautician & go to get my nails & hair did every so often, but I simply can't afford to spoil myself to keep up my appearance. I see lots of beautiful moms with themselves well kept up & I wish that I was blessed to get that treatment & sustain a lovely appearance again. Moms, how do you all manage to develop & maintain great appearance? *MaTURE COMMENTS PLS* :)
, yes I agree with you "me"..but sadly, I'm single & I do everything independantly.

The EXCEPTION is the woman who has kids and looks well put together. The
EXCEPTION. I'd be willing to bet that underneath it all, she's a hot mess.
The rest of us must be wash n wear. Just because someone has a husband doesn't mean they're rolling in
money. Your average couple is struggling to make ends meet, and most women can't afford luxuries like makeup and
getting their hair done. Baby comes first, food comes first, bills come first.
Remember: having babies changes everything and we agreed to this change by having babies.
This isn't a bad thing. My son is way more important than how I look.
I gave up on makeup while pregnant. I worked 70 -80 hours a week as a waitress
and and discovered sleep was more important than makeup.
This carried over after my son was born. I was 38 when I had him and discovered
that, in order to keep my sanity that I had to get enough sleep and well, certain
things got sacrificed.
I cut my hair super short, so that all I had to do was run my hands thru it. I
even managed to take showers on a daily basis. I went to school, graduated and
got a job using my tech skills, and guess what? Not one of the women wore
makeup!
We were all fully clothed, however.
Once my son got old enough, to where I thought I could start wearing makeup
again, the little stinker got into it and turned it all into guns and phones and
walkie talkies. Something about the colors of eyeshadows entranced him.
Over the years, I've kept a simple, inexpensive face clean routine. Irish spring, or
zest, Dove if I could swing it, Ponds cold cream (again if I could swing it) and Seabreeze.
Never did anything fancy with nails, so this wasn't an issue.
Learn to treat yourself in ways you can afford but that don't necessarily have to do with clothing or makeup.
Take long hot showers/baths whenever you can. Get someone to come over and watch the baby for a couple of hours while you do this.
Make the VERY important effort of eating right.
Take regular walks and/or exercise if you have the time/energy.
Treat yourself to dark chocolate once in a while.
Get enough sleep.

What should I do about my unbelievably white skin?
omnomnom
I am half-Greek. I have very dark features, for example, my hair and my eyes are both very dark. However, on my dad's side I am white, and I have inherited his very, very white skin color. You can imagine the stark contrast between my dark features and white skin. In California, where I live, I stand out, which is something I do not want. Where I live, everyone is tan and wears shorts. People go swimming almost everyday except when it rains. I wish I could wear shorts but my legs are so white it looks silly and people often tease me, so I always wear long pants, and sweaters too to cover my arms. I wish I could be tan, but I turn red in the sun. My mom won't let me get a spray tan, and besides I don't have money for that. What can I do?

You need to watch: Mirror, Mirror, with Julia Roberts and Lily Collins as Snow White.
Many people envy complexion such as yours. If you go to Asia, India, Africa, where dark skin is the majority, people would treat you like a Goddess.
Tanning, is a result for 'damaged skin' and no products can reverse you from skin cancer or damaged skin, may prevent you from pre-mature aging, but that's part of the billion dollar beauty industry.
A new study conducted by the Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Dermatology has found that tanning bed exposure can be dangerous when tanners self-diagnose skin problems and use the radiation to treat skin eruptions. The study specifically found that a tanning bed user that used the radiation to treat a mild skin rash caused by an ibuprofen allergy developed a much more severe reaction called toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). When left untreated, TEN can be fatal.
Melanoma is the leading cause of death from skin disease. An estimated 76,259 new cases of skin cancer will be reported particularly among women in their 20's & 30's, and that's 6,020 more than 2011, people died from the disease, according to the National Cancer Institute. Two million people are diagnosed with skin cancer in the US each year, according to the EPA's Sun-Wise Program. That's more than breast, colon, lung and prostate cancer cases combine!
Mom died of Paget Cancer and has bullous pemphegoid, skin disorder, and I'm a cancer awareness advocate.
Lotions does not protect you from nasty, painful burns. Lotions does not protect you from skin cancer. Lotions does not protect you from skin diseases. Lotions does not protect you from discolorations - permanently. And lotions does not protect you from skin tags, freckles, moles, they will only get larger, darker, and bumpier as they are exposed from UV.
To get the level of SPF you see on the label, you have to spread the lotion on like a layer of vanilla frosting; that's the thickness used in Food & Drug Administration tests. "So your SPF 30 is really a 10." says Steven Q Wang, M.D. director of dermatologic surgery and dermatology @ Memorial Sloan-Ketterng Cancer Center in Basking Ridge, NJ and author of Beating Melanoma. So don't skim: Frost that cupcake!"

I came from a vacay in Ireland, and many of the people there working in the profession (luxury hotels and banks, etc.) have beautiful white complexion!
I've been protecting myself from the sun since age 9, but no matter, I got Discoid Lupus. Google that one. It was like someone punched my chin and it gave a purplish mark. It took 12 years for that to fade, so now I'm using a wide brim hat or umbrella for protection. Gene Simmons & Shannon both have been seen hold an umbrella during an event. They were invented before beauty products, for a reason. Google also Bullous Pemphegoid, photos, another skin disorder. If I were you, I'd continue protecting myself from the sun. You're mom is a smart woman!

SELF-TANNERS: "I've had many patients who think these products somehow offer UV protection or that they give them a 'base tan' so they won't burn," says Dr. Hale, a NYC M.D., dermatologist and vice chair of the Skin Cancer Foundation. "'If I have skin cancer, you'll just remove it, and I'll be OK'. But the color that self-tanners create on your skin is completely artificial. But a lot of young women use these products so they don't look pale when they go to the beach to tan." 86% of women surveyed who use self-tanners reported they'd also baked in the sun, and 36% admitted they'd also used tanning beds (a leading cause of melanoma!) at least once in the past year. Australian study confirms that sunless tanning likely did not reduce the amount of UV exposure women get.

TAN OBSESSION: "When I see a woman with bronzed skin, I look at it the way you might picture the inside of a smoker's lungs," says Dr. Ellen Marmur, MD., associate professor of dermatology @ the Mt. Sinai Medical Center in NYC.
