Expert tips on getting that celebrity glow.

Motherhood wreaks havoc on our skin, changing its consistency and adding dark circles where bright eyes used to be. Here are recommendations from top beauty experts for getting radiant skin--in a flash.

Normal Skin Celeb Mom Who Has It: Jessica Alba Celebrity skin care expert Kate Sommerville recommends that Moms like Jessica wash with a gentle, sulfate-free face wash, and exfoliate twice a week to keep skin "looking really fresh and luminous." She also uses her hydrating system on Jessica to lock in some extra moisture. Breakouts get spot-treated with a sulfur-based product.

For Moms At Home:
We need quick fixes that don't break the bank. Guzzle a lot of H2O on a daily basis for moisture, add more fresh fruits and veggies to your diet and wear SPF 30 sunscreen to keep skin healthy, clear and keep lines at bay, says Kate. If you have normal skin, Mom Logic's beauty editor swears by Dr. Hauschka's Rose Light Day Cream to hydrate without clogging the pores. Great for Moms on the go.
