@Jenny: I’m sorry to hear that! Cucumber slices are a tried and true method for depuffing under eyes, and drinking a lot of water seems to help as well. As for the sleep, even getting quick naps during the day (like while your kids are napping) will give back some of the youthful appearance you’ve been missing. I’m a fan of early bedtimes (even for my baby/toddler) so that I have enough time to get my sleep also!

For concealer, I’ve found most of them get caked unless I apply a moisturizer right before. Sometimes, I put on another moisturizer on top of the concealer (just a light layer) to keep the area hydrated. Hope this helps!

I searched for this after my husband informed me that I have rapidly changed / aged in a little as 3 years. Granted, I have had two children in that timeframe and only get 4-5 hours of sleep per night. I am desperate to try to get back my youthful look. Any suggestions for de-puffing the under eye area? Cold water just doesn’t cut it. Also, what concealers work without getting caked up in the fine lines under the eye? Any brand recommendations?

These are great tips! No kids…yet, and I can still apply these tips for every day. Thank You!

By the way…where does one get the “retweet” button for blog posts. Another great idea! And, I used them.

The are excellent Tips! These are great for any woman or man for that matter to perk up and improve their appearance! For a more natural look Mineral Make-up and Neutral shades of lipstick or lipgloss are the way to go! Thanks for posting, it is important to also always wear a moisturizer with SPF during the Day, even on cloudy days.

Thanks for this article! I agree 100% about wearing clothes that fit. When I take the time to take care of myself well, I feel a lot better about myself, I manage the household better and even work better. The positive energy just flows with proper self-care.

@Chris: True – these tips are great for non-moms and even tired college students as well! It’s great to have a daily goal for water consumption, because then it’s easier to measure how you’re doing.

@Alice: *laughing* Yes, it’s TRUE! I see it a lot at school while dropping off my daughter and even in the grocery store.

@Diana: Grats on the grandma stage! We can all take a few tips from you

@Karen: Thank you!

@Jennymcb: Mineral powder is a great idea; it’s so good for your skin. Lol about the mask! As for the lipstick, if you’re having a hard time with the color, try switching to a lipgloss with a lot of shine but only a hint of color.

You mean there are women older than high school girls who wear PJ’s around town?
