[Routine help] New mom looking for tips and recommendations

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Let me just say first that I love this sub and prior to bringing my adorable baby boy into the world, I followed a multi-step skin routine every morning and night. Weekly masks, monthly peels. My linen closet is chock full of products I've tried and didn't like, as well as products I would like to try but haven't yet (hello, drunk elephant glycolic night serum). My skin has never been perfect, but my routines are an integral part of self-care for me.Cue having a baby two months ago and my routines totally going out the window. I'm lucky if I get to use a make up wipe and slap on SPF in the AM, and I'm showering every couple days instead of daily, like I'm used to. Plus I'm getting very little sleep. Cue dull, dry, irritated, generally unhappy skin.I'm wondering if there are any other new moms on this sub who have time-saving tips or other recommendations for me? Or just anyone who's gone through a similar period of sleep deprivation/inability to self-care like you used to. I've been doing moisturizing sheet masks a couple times a week since I can do other stuff while they're on, it's not a big deal if they stay on too long, and don't need to be rinsed off. Also been using eye masks that I chill in the fridge to mask how tired I am. Recently also purchased drunk elephant's lala retro cream as a "push present" to myself but am not wowed by it.Any help is so appreciated! Also if you're also sleep deprived feel free to just vent about how much it sucks for your skin, lol
