BUSY MOM - Essential steps for well-being.

Hey busy mamas, let's talk self-care!

As a mom, I know how hard it can be to take time for ourselves. With that in mind, here are my essentials go-to for fitting skincare into our packed schedules.

1) Keep it simple.

Streamline your routine by focusing on essential products. A good moisturizer suitable for your skin type and 1 serum, like Vitamins C & A, can provide essential hydration and nutrients without overwhelming your cabinet or your time. I love iS Clinical Pro-Heal Serum.

2) Cleanse morning and night.

Even if it's just micellar water followed by a quick rinse, consistent cleansing is CRUCIAL In the morning, it helps to remove oils that accumulate overnight, which minimizes dull skin, breakouts and allows for better absorption of your other skincare products. In the evening, it helps remove makeup, sweat and sunscreen from the day, preparing your skin to recover and rest at night.  

3)Choose products that multi-task like you do!

Just as you juggle many responsibilities, your skincare products can too. Look for a BB cream with SPF, a moisturizer rich in antioxidants and anti-aging properties, or a cleanser that effectively removes makeup. Every second counts, so efficiency is key. Check out iS Clinical new Daily Dynamic Hydrator. Huge multi-tasker. 

4) Prioritize sun protection. 

If there's one crucial step you can take for your skin now and in the future, it's wearing sunscreen every day. Opt for multi-tasking products with broad-spectrum SPF, and keep a visor or hat handy for added protection when outdoors.  

5) Make time for a self-care session when you can.

Got 5 minutes? you can double cleanse and exfoliate before applying serums and a moisturizer. With 15 minutes, you might add a face mask. Now if you ever have an hour, consider coming in for a well deserved professional facial! 

Either way, our skincare routine is often one of the first things to go when we have competing priorities. But as a good reminder, in order to take care of others, we need to take care of ourselves too. Pampering our skin is just one of the ways we can take a little time out to make us busy mamas feel refreshed and ready to face the day & night.

Remember, prioritizing yourself isn't selfish; it's essential for everyone's well-being. 

With love,
