Five minutes for you: a gentle morning routine for new parents
No hour-long rituals. Just five minutes, before the day starts, that are entirely yours.
Becoming a parent rearranges every hour of the day. We asked parents in our community what helped them feel like themselves again, and the answer was surprisingly small: five minutes, every morning.
Water first
A glass of water before the coffee. Your body has gone hours without it, and so, probably, has your skin.
One product, applied slowly
Massage a light moisturiser into your face and neck for one full minute. It is the cheapest spa you will ever visit.
Move a little
Three slow stretches by an open window. Nothing more ambitious than that.
