I second the Botox! I did it the minute I stopped breast feeding. The stretch marks won’t go away but you can massage your skin around the belly to help tighten it. Your hair will grow back don’t worry hun!
@Lindsay how is botox? Did you try any other skin treatments before
Botox but like don’t go crazy cause they will convince you that you need it everywhere I just get my forehead. I’ve done filler, facials and peels… honestly don’t waste your money maybe a peel if you want more vibrancy in your face but honestly hun the Botox is good but it’s expensive and it something you’ll need to be every 3-5 months depending.
@Lindsay I'll look into it. I need something to boost me
Also the moustache .. I use tweezers daily it’s like shaving got to add it to the routine lol
Continue taking your prenatal. Eat healthy snacks and do juicing as well such as apple celery sticks and carrots helps a lot with skin and hair. lol I love the mustache issue too it’s all due to the high hormones that build up while pregnant. Nothing a good facial can’t fix. Try not to bug too hard on yourself some people do take longer than expected to bounce back up. Exercising as simply as going for walks, take some dancing or boxing class if you need to to boost that endorphins which help with your mood. Yoga helped me too. You got this little mama.
Deep condition with Amla powder and henna too. It will nourish your hair and bring back your curls. There's loads of YouTube videos on how to make the mixture. Also get some pregnacare vitamins for hair and nails. Your hair just needs some deep deep care.
I definitely wouldn’t recommend Botox. That’s just superficial, costs a lot, requires repeated treatments and can screw your face in the long run. Everyone gets wrinkles, aging is normal. Take vitamins, eat healthy and exercise, sleep well, get some good skin care products. You will start feeling good from within. As for your upper lips moustache, you can get it permanently removed by laser treatment.
Facial waxing strips for the moustache
I don’t have experience w curls but (maybe) I would maybe get a perm to get your curls back. Keep up your vitamins, water and get a good skincare routine happening adding some hyaluronic acid products for moisture and preventing more lines by keeping it hydrated. Moustache you can wax or dermaplane.
@Eve I love this. I'll have to pull out my juicer. These are all good suggestions. Thank you
@Misha lookin online for this right now. Thank you
@Kellie @Charis I guess I'm goin to ulta today lol.
@Simi agreed. May try some other things first before botox.

Definitely try some other things before Botox!! Like others said, a good skincare routine, hydrating facials. Profhilo is quite expensive, but will give your skin a moisture boost from within. And as for the mustache, I’ve had one since I was in my teens 😆 Currently getting sessions of laser hair removal to deal with it, so maybe try that.
Honestly, changing the outside won’t make you feel good in the inside if you’re struggling. I would work on learning to love the new you, of course work on what you can… but self love is very important. My body has changed since my last kid, and I feel insecure about it, but at the same time I am working on loving myself again. And just remember, we age. 🤷🏽♀️ that a blessing so many don’t get to have. (Get some good self help books, I know those have helped with my first kid.) 😉
Omg I think everyone feels like this. I’m blonde, from Perth Australia which is always sunny and I got black hairs popping up on my face after baby! 😂😂😂 It’s daily monitoring, care, eating well, exercise, mental health practices and the odd Botox and hair dresser to keep things in line. It’s bloody hard work but you gotta put in the time and effort to FEEL good and you’ll start looking better xxx
First of all I'm sorry you are feeling this way. I saw your picture I really doubt you are ugly now as you look great on the pics. Before doing anything, you need to reflect on the motherhood journey you were on and accept that came with changes on your body. Stretch marks will still be there, they might fade a little but nothing you can do but accept them. For your hair, you can try to deep conditioning them, I usually shampoo and condition straight after. I lost my from t row of hair when I had my son, it took years to grew back. Consistency is key. Our go to the salon for a proper treatment and advice. Same for facial routine, you need to be consistent, use the right serum for you. I recommend Retinol, niacinamide acid for imperfections, acid hyaluronic mix with your moisture, moisturiser with sun protection during the day. Collagen as well but really, do your research and see what works for you, but don't expect miracle. You need to work on accepting yourself as well.
@Taliah how was laser hair removal?
I used to look years younger than my actual age but just one year after having my baby I look my age now 😭 I didn't realize having a baby would fuck me up this bad lol
@Jade Depends on your pain threshold I guess, but absolutely fine! My hair is very stubborn, so I have to keep having top up sessions, but the hair growth is definitely a lot slower & the hair is a lot finer. I would say laser hair removal is the best option when it comes to hair removal
@PJ yes that part. I never had forehead lines, I have white hairs in the front. My hair still hasn't recovered. I take every supplement and still tired. Like wtf. All my labs say "healthy af" on them. I'm at a loss
Get some Botox and some threading done you will feel amazing after 🥰
