As a mom with a little one, taking care of myself isn’t always a priority. However, my New Year’s goal is to take better care of myself so that I can be a better person and a better mom! Proper skincare is very important to me, so I thought I would start the year by sharing my easy skincare routine for tired moms! Also, I am including a DIY Face mask printable at the end that you don’t want to miss!
Why Skincare is Important
I know that proper skincare seems secondary sometimes, especially if you have small children at home. My youngest is four, and I still struggle to get five minutes in the bathroom alone. However, taking care of your skin prevents premature aging. Sometimes though, we let things like skincare fall by the wayside, especially when the kids are little. Sometimes, I make my day a bit better by keeping up with my skincare routine! It makes me feel a little more put together!
My easy skincare routine for tired moms
My skincare routine consists of three steps and a face mask a few times a month. Currently, I use skincare by Bliss. You can find them through my Amazon link or through other retailers.
Using a three-step process like this is ideal for me: cleanser, eye cream, and moisturizer. This takes me less than 2 minutes. I also add a tinted moisturizer most days too. I really like something that doesn’t require a million steps. I am not saying you need this one, but this company is moderately priced and provides various formulas for your skincare needs.
Making Self-Care a Priority
I know this doesn’t sound glamorous, but real self-care really isn’t anyways. Taking those couple minutes to care for your skin makes a difference when you are stressed out. I love all my kids immensely. However, as a homeschooling mom, I get stressed out a lot. Sometimes, washing my face pauses my stress for a moment.
Another way I take care of my skin is by doing face masks a few times a month. You can purchase them in stores. However, you can make them easily at home with just a few ingredients. Be sure to click the link below to download a printable copy of some great DIY face masks to try at home!
