Three Skin Care Tips for Busy Moms

121

By Meg Burns, Blush Beauty Lounge

Moms are busy. Full stop. And sometimes as moms, we start to prioritize things like skincare less, especially in busy seasons. I used to be the queen of using a quick makeup wipe to sort-of remove my makeup before my head hit the pillow. Now, I am a big believer in taking 5 minutes for my skincare routine before bed. It has made such a difference for me and I wanted to share 3 skin care tips for busy moms with you!

Skin Care Tip #1:
Wash your face before bed.
I know, I know. You’ve heard this before. But honestly? This one tip is one of the main things that really started to change my skin. I had the not-so-great habit of sleeping in my makeup and if I did ‘wash’ my face it was with a makeup remover wipe. Well, it turns out that actually doesn’t do a ton for cleansing. Simply washing your face before bed will help so much! It removes the makeup and dirt from your skin and allows the rest of your products to soak in better.

Blush Products3Skin Care Tip #2:
Pick a serum.
There are so many serums on the market and it can feel overwhelming to pick the one that is right for you. If that is how you currently feel about that, I encourage you to ask your esthetician! If you don’t currently have an esthetician, stop into Blush Beauty Lounge or give us a call. We would love to give you some pointers to find the perfect serum for your skin! There are also some serums that everyone can benefit from! Here are a couple that I personally use and would recommend: Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid. Vitamin C helps to brighten the skin and reduce free radical damage. Hyaluronic Acid helps to deeply hydrate the skin. Both are great options if you are looking for a serum to try out! Serums can be pricier, so go with a company that doesn’t water down products (I am a big fan of Eminence Organics) so that you get the best bang for your buck.

Skin Care Tip #3:
Wear a sunscreen.
Wearing an spf on your face is a super smart choice. Even on cloudy days! There are fantastic mineral sunscreen options or even tinted moisturizers that have SPF in them. SPF on your face helps to block the sun and some even have blue light (light from our devices) blocking technology which is really cool. This is especially important if you are wanting to avoid or reduce age spots and hyperpigmentation.

I hope these 3 skin care tips for busy moms have been helpful! If you have any questions, shoot me an email at hello@blushbeautylounge.com or give us a call. I look forward to sharing more with you!
