Beauty

Remember that inner glow everyone swooned about when you were pregnant? It’s been replaced by under-eye circles and a vacant, sleepless stare.

Fake it ’till you make it back to the facialist: Rosy Glow Beauty is for new moms who want to look less harried, more Halle Berry. The all-natural goodies, like lip plumper, cooling eye cream and facial cleansing wipes are just low-maintenance enough to fit into your pared-down routine.

Get your glow back.

How many times have you found yourself unprepared when confronted with sun? Not only is your inner Girl Scout disappointed, but you worry about baby’s unprotected skin.

Throw some of the handy new Baby Silk sunscreen towelettes in your bag. The soft wipes (developed by pediatrician moms) are saturated with a gentle, sweat-proof, broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen that’s safe for young babies (one wipe will cover an infant, though you may want to double up).

When in doubt, sunscreen.

As the UV index heats up, you can’t have enough sunscreen. But that “apply 30 minutes before exposure to sun” rule proves difficult, given a squirming toddler’s attention span.

Slather on the SPF quickly: AB Baby’s sunscreen has a moisturizing formula that takes effect immediately, so kids won’t be cooped up inside while waiting for the protection to kick in. Developed by a Manhattan dermatologist, this chemical-free sunscreen is specially formulated for children 6 months and up.

And don’t forget you need some, too.

Amongst the many pleasures of playing with Play-Doh is its mysterious, ineffable, instantly recognizable scent. You could never smell it for the next 50 years, then take one tiny whiff, and you’d know immediately what you were smelling.

Perhaps the significant fathers on your Father’s Day list would appreciate being transported back to childhood with a spray or two of Play-Doh cologne. One sniff and it’s instant nostalgia. But don’t take too long making up your mind to buy a bottle; the scent was only produced in a limited edition for Play-Doh’s 50th anniversary.

Where have you been, Mommy? Your nose looks different. Are your boobies bigger? If you’ve snuck away for an “image-enhancing” surgical procedure or two, you may have trouble answering such awkward questions from your child. But thanks to new children’s book My Beautiful Mommy, aimed at kids whose mothers are about to undergo “makeovers,” you’ll know just what to say.

For instance, here’s some dialogue cribbed from the book, penned by a Florida plastic surgeon and father. The “Before” mommy cheerfully explains why she’s having a tummy tuck: “As I got older, my body stretched and I couldn’t fit into my clothes anymore. Dr Michael is going to help fix that and make me feel better.” Yeah! And better-looking too!
