Busy women with not a second of extra time left in their busy schedules take note: this does not mean you should neglect your face and body. When time is of essence, it is even more important to do your homework and curate the beauty fixes that you want to go for. Because we at Skin Mag are mothers too, we have shortlisted a list of beauty ‘must-dos’ that really deliver the results without the downtime and need for regular repeats.
With a little direction from the founder of SW1 Clinic, Dr Low Chai Ling, we find out what works and what don’t so you don’t have to play the guessing game. Being a mother of two grown teens herself, Dr Low is also author of the post-pregnancy beauty bible In Full Bloom, so we are glad to listen to her advice when it comes to curating the beauty agendas of busy mamas.
