A 28-Day Kiehl’s Mama-Pampering Challenge!

So you guys are well aware (okay, probably TOO aware) of my issues with baby sleep. It’s improved immensely, with just one 4 or 5 a.m. wake-up call these days, except this week of course when my congested daughter wakes up every time she coughs. And OMG, that will drive any sane person muy loco. So naturally, when Kiehl’s invited us to take its 28-Day Midnight Recovery Challenge, Jenn sent me an email and a big virtual nudge. I think she figured that if I could never feel totally refreshed, at least I could look it. Ah, good friends—always thinking of your tired self.

So last Thursday, I kicked off my first of 28 days testing out Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate and Midnight Recovery Eye. The products promise smoother skin, fewer lines, wrinkles and the big ones for me: lighter under-eye circles and the appearance of more sleep. I’ll keep you updated on my thoughts on the product a few times a week via twitter and facebook, and I’ll let you know if I see a difference by the end of the 28 days. Heck: Even if I don’t see a difference, this challenge is already improving my bedtime routine, which had consisted of me sometimes not even washing my face before falling into bed. It can only get better, right?

Ever tried Kiehl’s products? Has your nighttime beauty routine suffered since you had kids? —Erin
