Moms are no strangers to exhaustion. Or to comments about how tired they look. Yes, dark eye circles are the universal symbol of motherhood, but thankfully there are easy tricks and beauty products that can make a big difference

The first, and most important, is hydration. No amount of product will counteract dehydrated, dried-up skin. This is especially important for breastfeeding mamas! A bonus? It’s free.

Using an eye mask under your eyes can help hydrate and decrease puffiness. If you put it in the fridge first, it can also help you wake up. Unfortunately, eye masks aren’t magic erasers for dark circles, so investing in a good concealer can make a huge difference.

Accentuating the lashes with mascara and/or a curler can help to visually open up and awaken the eyes. A good brow pencil also helps to define the shape around your eyes.

Collagen. Need I say more? One of the elements of a beauty routine we all look for.

Last, add color! Adding blush and simple lip color can help to bring life and energy to an exhausted face.
