Recommendations to look and feel my best postpartum

Hi! I (34F) am 2 weeks away from giving birth to my second baby and am looking for recommendations for things to do or products that may help post-partum feel a little better. Despite having pretty great skin during pregnancy, I just feel really far from how I like to look. I think it’s mostly due to a lot of swelling and weight gain (including in my face) as well as just not having the energy to do my usual upkeep.

I’m looking for some recommendations for things I can do before and shortly after the baby comes to make feeling put together and a little prettier a bit easier. These need to be effective but also pretty low time commitment. I tend to keep things simple and consistent in the normal times.

Mentally I’m doing okay and keeping it all in perspective, but I am really (really really) looking forward to looking and feeling more like my old self after the baby comes (within reason, of course).

So far I’ve done/am planning the following. any other recommendations?

- I got my highlights redone. I love the color but I messed up and got a haircut a few months ago that I can’t figure out how to style. I feel like Inhavent had a good hair day in 4 months.

- I’ll get a pedicure next week

- I am going to get a lash lift and tint + eyebrow shaping and tint next week.

- I’ve refreshed my skincare routine a bit
