Being a mom means being busy. It takes a lot of work to raise a kid, especially if you’re one of the millions of women today who also juggle a full-time career. Finding time for yourself is hard when you’re essentially committed to two full-time jobs.
At the same time, not investing in things like how you look can drastically cut down on your confidence. You deserve to love how you look, to feel beautiful, and confident, and at home in your skin.
The good news is that there are several age-defying skincare tips that are quick or easy, allowing every busy mom the chance to reclaim her skin:
- Botox
If you’re frowning at your frown lines, and just wish they’d go away, then Botox is a very fast answer to all your questions. You can get BOTOX in Draper, Utah, and be ready to go to work the next day. Botox, after all, works to just freeze the muscles under the skin, which smooths out wrinkles and helps you look refreshed and younger, instantly.
- Skip the Complex Skincare Routines
While you can add as many steps as you want to your skincare routine, skip it if you’re struggling with consistency. All you need, realistically, is to wash your face and moisturize. Choose one serum to add to the mix if you want to be fancy. Boom. A 3-step skincare routine. You can use different products for day and night, but stick to a three-step routine. Consistency is more important than doing it all, so shorter in this case is much sweeter.
- Face Massages and Workouts
Learn how to drain your lymphatic system while you’re putting on your skincare products. This will help with issues like bloating immediately, helping you look refreshed and ready just by changing how you put cream on your face. As a bonus, you can also start getting into the habit of face workouts, which can be done even in the car on your way to work.
- Regular Sunscreen
Prevention is care. In this case, sunscreen is skincare. In fact, it’s one of the most important skincare products you can use for your skin. Get a Korean skincare product that sits lightly on your face, keep it in your car (not in direct sunlight), and put it on every time you get in the car. After your skin does sheds as part of its natural cycle, you’ll start noticing fresher, healthier-looking skin.
- Hydrate Enough
Drinking enough water is another important all-body goal. In this case, it’s also essential to giving your skin the hydration it needs to look fresh, plump, and youthful. If you wake up and your skin looks haggard, start by drinking a whole glass of water, then do your skincare routine. Hydration needs to come from within and without.
- Make Time for Yourself Once Per Week
Taking time just for yourself is so important for mental health. Work out a time with your partner, friends, or family so the kids are out of the house for an hour or two once per week, and use that time to put on a face mask, lounge in a bubble bath, and read your book. The skincare routine will help directly, while the stress-relieving free time can help you minimize stress. Combined, they can help you feel and look refreshed.
