Hello there, I completely understand how frustrating it can be to deal with persistent blackheads and enlarged pores, especially after giving birth. Here are some steps you can take to effectively address this issue: Gentle Cleansing: Make sure you're cleansing your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type. Look for products that contain salicylic acid or glycolic acid, as these ingredients can help to unclog pores and prevent blackheads from forming. You can read more about blackheads treating here - https://uvtreat.com/blackheads . Exfoliation: Incorporate a gentle exfoliant into your skincare routine a few times a week. Exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells that can contribute to clogged pores and blackheads. However, be cautious not to over-exfoliate, as this can irritate the skin and worsen the problem. Clay Masks: Using a clay mask once or twice a week can help to draw out impurities from the pores and reduce the appearance of blackheads. Look for masks containing ingredients like kaolin or bentonite clay. Retinoids: Consider incorporating a retinoid cream or serum into your nighttime skincare routine. Retinoids are vitamin A derivatives that can help to unclog pores, promote cell turnover, and improve the overall texture of the skin. Start with a lower concentration and gradually increase as your skin adjusts. Professional Treatments: If over-the-counter products aren't providing the desired results, you may want to consider seeking professional treatments such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or professional extractions performed by a dermatologist or licensed esthetician. Hydration and Sun Protection: Keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using a moisturizer suitable for your skin type. Additionally, always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from sun damage, which can exacerbate the appearance of blackheads and enlarge pores. Remember, consistency is key when it comes to skincare. It may take some time to see significant improvement, but with patience and the right routine, you can effectively manage blackheads and achieve clearer, smoother skin.

Just wanted to share my feelings

I'm a SAHM and have a 14m & 1m old baby. I'm staying with my mom. Since I had my 2nd it's kinda hard for me to handle housework and 2 kids. I always feel tired all the time. I barely had the time to feed my toddler. Pls don't judge me, I know it's not good for him if he doesn't have proper meals. I also find it hard for me to eat proper meals. Sometimes I only eat once a day and have to rush eating my food as my NB will be crying. Even aft 1m postpartum I still can't adjust well with a toddler & nb. I feel so stressed handling two kids at the same time. Sometimes I find myself just staring blankly at my NB and ignoring her cries. I also had bad thoughts on my mind. There are times when I raise my voice to my NB or toddler whenever they can't stop crying. Also, my mom comment abt my son weight. She said that when my sis in law brings my son out and sleepover once in a while at her hse, my son seems to be more chubbier but whenever my son's with me he seems to look skinnier. I thought to myself, ofc my sis in law is able to take better care of my son. She has a maid to help with housework and she doesn't work, so she's able to focus all her time with my son. I feel so sad that me as a mom, I can't even take care of my own son properly and others are capable of doing a better job than me. I just kept quiet and didn't tell anyone about my feelings. My husband works a 12hr night shift so he will sleep during the day. He does help me bathe our kids and look after them for abt 1-2hr aft he reaches home while I shower n do as much housework as I can. But aft that he needs to sleep and rest, I understand that he needs his rest. I really feel so useless and stressed as a mom that I can't take care of them properly. Why can't I be like other moms who have more than one kid and still manage with the housework Sorry for this long post
