Glowing Through the Chaos: Skincare Tips for Busy Moms

Are you a busy Mom looking for ways to have healthy, glowing skin again? It seems our skin care routine is one of the top routines that we ditch trying to keep up with nursing new babies, household chores, and just trying to function and get through the day without consistent sleep. You know, the kind of Momma sleep where you are really just laying there dreaming of sleep with one eye open waiting for the nuk to fall on out of the crib and baby to start crying.  I know you know!

Well look no further! Coming from a Mom who woke up one day and discovered she had alligator skin under her eyes that seemed to appear out of nowhere...  (I seriously have no idea how long it was like that but after a few months into nursing and keeping up with the second baby and first toddler, it was there!). 

So I gift you with some simple yet effective tips that can help you achieve the radiant skin you dream of.  Remember, easy, quick, daily routines can have HUGE nourishing benefits and make it so much easier to GLOW when you do get to go on a date night!

This is exactly what I started to do to hydrate and nourish my own skin, so I know it works!

1. Cleanse

One of the most fundamental steps in skincare is cleansing. However, it's important to be careful about the products you use for this purpose. Instead of using harsh cleansers that can dry out your skin, try using the oil cleansing method. This involves using your favorite carrier oil and essential oils blended at the perfect dilution for your skin. This method can effectively cleanse your skin without stripping it of its natural oils, thus maintaining its healthy glow.

This natural approach gently removes dirt and impurities, leaving your skin refreshed and radiant. To get started, choose a natural organic carrier oil such as jojoba, raspberry seed, or cranberry seed oil. Begin by massaging a small amount of oil onto your face, especially over dry skin areas.  Let the oil sit for up a few minutes and gently massage the oils and face one more time to help the carrier oil lift dirt from the pores.  Next, wet a clean washcloth with warm water and gently wipe away the oil.  After, apply the same carrier oil to moisturize.

Incorporate this method into your daily routine for beautifully cleansed and nourished skin!

Adding essential oils to your carrier oil to create a blend is optional.  Feel free to reach out with any questions you have on blending dilutions or specific carrier or essential oils - [email protected].

2. Hydrate

The next step on our list is hydration - a key factor in maintaining healthy skin. It's not just about applying the right moisturizers, it's also about hydrating your body from the inside. Make sure you're consuming the perfect amount of water and electrolytes your body needs every day. This will not only keep your body hydrated, but it will also help maintain your skin's natural moisture balance.

3. Protect

The skin, being the body's outermost layer, is constantly exposed to various environmental factors, including harmful UV rays. Hence, it's crucial to protect your skin. One way to do this is by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 on days out in the sun. This can help prevent sun damage and premature aging.

Additionally, using a butter in your skin care blends at bedtime, such as shea butter, offers moisture locking protection & healing while you sleep. This ensures your skin is rejuvenated and ready to face another day!

This butter blend could be a blend of just butters and carrier oils, or have the addition of essential oils that promote nourishment and radiant looking skin as well.  Some essentials offer added benefits to combat acne, decrease oily skin zones, or smooth irritated skin.

If you are preparing for a big day out or even a day as huge as your wedding, be sure to apply your butter blend before bedtime over any extra dry areas (lips, under eyes, over deep wrinkles, neck line) for maximum moisture the next day.  If the air is dry you can also consider using a humidifier the night before your big day as well!

4. Nourish

Last but not least, nourishing your body and your skin is important. This involves eating plenty of fruits and veggies daily that are high in vitamin C and antioxidants. These nutrients can help prevent oxidative stress from free radicals, which can damage your skin cells.

​Moreover, adding bone broth into your weekly routine is a great way to gift your body and skin with collagen - a key component in maintaining skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles.
