Beauty vlogger Alba Ramos of SunKiss Alba went through some major beauty changes when she had her son Manny, now 8. Unfortunately, they didn't last. Though she enjoyed clear skin, that much-lauded pregnancy glow, and healthy hair growth during her pregnancy, the postpartum months saw hair loss and breakouts "worse than a teenager," she said.
SunKiss Alba followers won't be surprised to learn that the natural-beauty advocate gained a new appreciation for organic beauty products once she became a mother. "As moms, we all want the best for our babies and to provide the cleanest products and the best of everything," she explained. "For me, that also applied to food, water, and my own self-care so that my baby can have the best home inside and outside of me."
For Ramos, that means shopping for nontoxic items and prioritizing her personal beauty regimen. "My alone time in the bathroom shortened and I could no longer take my time with my makeup, so I adapted to a simple routine with less products and less work," she said. "Motherhood has taught me to get ready quicker, and I've become more skilled since then, too. Prior to being a mom, I didn't wear a lot of makeup and I used to get my hair professionally done. Today, it's the opposite."
