New mums know that me-time is ultra precious, and there’s no time for the multi-step morning rituals of the past. Which is why MERIT’s ‘five minute morning kit’ is a total godsend. Products are ultra-blendable and formulated with clean ingredients for a your-skin-but-better finish. Hero products include ‘The Minimalist’ – a multitasking stick that works as your concealer, foundation and even contour all in one —‘Flush Balm’ an ultra blendable blush which gives cheeks a gentle wash of colour for a rosy hue, and ‘Brow 1980’ a highly-pigmented brow pomade that delivers the fluffiest, fullest brows with serious staying power — no brow lamination appointment required.

A spot of pampering may be hard to come by in those early days of feeding, nappy changing, sleeping and repeat, but an LED mask offers a moment of skin-boosting goodness while new mums multitask. They might not be able to book into a The Light Salon in-store treatment for a while, but their whizzy Boost LED Mask is the next best thing. This nifty mask utilises red and near-infrared wavelengths at the ideal intensity to promote cellular renewal and boost both collagen and elastin for a plumper complexion. It also tackles myriad concerns, from breakouts and fine lines to redness.
