- With busy routines and so much to worry about, skin care usually takes a back seat. And honestly, the number of products available makes it super intimidating to form a skin routine thats easy and doesn’t break your bank.
Following are some easy skin care tips that can help you form a routine and follow it without spending hours (which we moms never have!)
- Divide your skin care routine into morning, night and weekend routine. This will help you form simpler routines before and after work and on your off days.
- For each routine, based on your skin type, think of must have and then nice to have. Then based on time available, you know what to do. e.g. At night serum is must have but retinol is nice to have, so on days when i am super tired, i know what to skip :-).
- Divide the products into different smaller organizational bins for morning, night and weekend. This will help you find your products easily.
- For Weekends, think of skin pampering like masks, exfoliate, massage that can help you rejuvenate.
- Find the products that work for you and your needs. Product should be easy to apply, should work for your skin and your budget.
