Rest well: Having a newborn baby can be a stressful time. This may also harm your skin and hair growth. It is important to realise the importance of resting well.

It will help you feel fresh and make your skin and hair restore its natural strength. If you don’t get enough sleep, it will lead to forming dark circles under your eyes.

Take adequate vitamin supplements: After pregnancy, your body will need vital vitamins. Ensure that your diet includes Vitamin B and C for hair growth. Consuming biotin, fish oil and organic sulfur is very important for hair growth as it increases the supply of keratin in our body. It shall also contribute in making your hair stronger and shinier. Also include eggs, sweet potatoes, blueberries, sunflower seeds, fish, walnuts, beans, asparagus, and spinach in your diet so that your skin and hair grow healthy.

Keep chemical products away: One of the best ways to take care after delivery is keeping harmful chemicals and products at bay. Use simple techniques like moisturizing your skin or keeping it away from sun. Using sunscreen may help with acne and pigmentation. You can also exfoliate using a mild scrub once a week. Using anti-hair loss shampoos and conditioners can also be effective. Get a massage if you can and form a proper diet plan. Get your hair trimmed if you think taking care of it is very stressful for you.

Postpartum hair loss and skin problems are common. Most of them go away with time but do follow the practices shared above to ensure speedy recovery.
