Take time out for YOURSELF...until YOU are YOU again.!
We all know a mother in our lives who could benefit from some extra self-care, maybe you are that mother who just needs a little pampering. Having children is above and beyond a full-time job: it’s a 24/7 lifestyle, especially during our babies’ early years. A lack of sleep combined with expending constant energy on supervising, entertaining, and caring for little ones can drain a person, which is exactly why it’s essential to break free for a few moments now and again.
But prioritizing self-care is not always easy. That’s why we, especially as women, must create space for ourselves, our friends, mothers, and sisters to take the time we need for rest and self-restoration. This Mother’s Day, let’s extend grace to the women around us who are nurturing their families and help encourage them to take care of themselves, whether it’s just for an hour or a long weekend.
City First brings to you a few experiences, curated with a commitment to beautifying people of various ethnicities by Dr Swati Joshi, BDS, MDS Prosthodontics & Maxillofacial Prosthetics, and a renowned Cosmetologist practising in Jaipur since 2009, that we can gift for Mother’s Day or any time of year, to let the mothers in our lives know we love and appreciate them, and that they are deserving of cultivating a self-care practice.

"Protect your skin from the sun, moisturize regularly, use retinoids, don't forget your neck and chest and most importantly stay hydrated. Remember that a good skincare routine is not just about looking younger but also about maintaining healthy skin. Taking care of your skin can help prevent skin cancer, protect against environmental damage, and promote overall skin", said the expert Dr Joshi, when asked for skin care tips for ageing moms.
When asked, how working moms can balance between work life and self-care, Dr Swati said, "Working mothers often have a lot on their plate, juggling work, household responsibilities, and taking care of their children. It's essential for them to take time for themselves, even if it's just 10-15 minutes a day to do something that they enjoy, like reading a book or taking a relaxing bath." She further added, "Having a strong support system, whether it's a partner, family members, or friends, can make a big difference in a working mother's life. Regular exercise along with healthy eating habits is a must too."
