Being a new mom, it is hard to find time for me. For a while I was waking up at 4:30 in the morning, sitting down to drink coffee, and scrolling through instagram before the baby woke up… that was not long lived.
In the recent weeks I have been waking up later and later each day. There have even been a few days where I woke up when I should have been leaving for work.
One thing I have been trying to do is set aside time for myself. I have been meal prepping each night after the baby goes to bed to save some time in the morning. I am trying to take some me time, and the first thing I decided was to do a face mask to help make my skin feel refreshed and ready for the next day.
Skin care is such a key part of my day and even though my routine is pretty simple, it is a priority and something I am sure to do every day.
My skincare routine begins by removing my makeup. I use Garnier Micellar water to take off all my makeup and then I am ready to cleanse. The Purity cleanser by philosophy has been my go to cleanser for the longest time and I don’t see it changing any time soon.
Thayers Toner in the Lavender scent is so relaxing and calming for my skin, since I tend to have some redness and breakouts. Finally I use the Ultra Repair Cream by First Aid beauty. This moisturizer is designed for acne prone skin and helps reduce redness from breakouts.
These four items with the occasional face mask from LUSH thrown in is all it takes for clean refreshed skin.
In addition to keeping my skin clean, I try to drink 75 ounces of water a day to keep the toxins out of my skin.
Keeping skincare at the forefront of your daily routine will just give you some you time and will help make you ready to tackle anything!
