Eat right: A nutritious diet is a key to a healthy skin. “First thing the new mothers need to do is increase the intake of water and include fresh fruits and vegetables in the diet, which would nurture the skin internally. The key to a flawless and vibrant skin is sound sleep, nutritious diet comprising green vegetables, whole milk dairy products and fresh fruits,” says Dr Smita Vats, a gynaecologist at Gurugram-based Medharbour Boutique hospital.(Unsplash)

Go natural to get rid of stretch marks: Having stretch marks is one of the top skincare concerns among new moms and it’s important to tackle them right. “New moms often worry about whether or not they would be able to get rid of those stretch marks, and the speculation is not really unwarranted. The most common mistake many of them commit is using chemical-laden products to get instant results. While the results might appear to be quicker, the after effect is irreversible and not conducive to their wellbeing. Hence, they should switch to Ayurvedic and other natural ingredients,” says Dr Himanshu Gandhi, the Co-Founder and CEO of Mother Sparsh. “Instead of going for any random stretch mark reduction cream, they should opt for more nurturing solutions like toning butter. The toning butter improves skin resiliency for benefit in the long run,” he adds.(Unsplash)
