Happy Mothers Day! Time For Some ‘You’ Time

It’s Mother’s Day and that means over 85 MILLION of you in the United States will be celebrating!

Being a mother is arguably the most rewarding and hardest job in the world – seen #WorldsToughestJob? That’s you!

We appreciate you often might feel like you never have time to stop and breath! Having a child means that having some time to yourself has to come second. Can’t seem to find half an hour to do your usual skincare routine at morning or night? Our Skincare experts have provided a top routine especially catered for you, and it will only take FIVE or TEN minutes – Wow!

 

 

Morning: Only Five Minutes To Spare!

If you don’t have time to do a full cleanse, serum, moisturizer, etc., the best thing to do is:

1. Quickly splash your face with water
2. Pat your skin dry
3. Apply SPF!

SPF is the most crucial step in any skin care routine. SPF protects the skin against the sun’s harmful rays, therefore not causing sunburn, sun damage, or pigmentation & inflammation. When the skin doesn’t have to work to protect itself, it will naturally focus on combatting other issues, such as acne, texture and fine lines and wrinkles.

 

If You Can Spare A Little Bit More Time

If you do have more time in your morning, the best products to use are Vitamin C serum, CE Ferulic from Skinceuticals or Vital A,C&E Serum from Image, and always SPF!

Useful tip: Using the Vitamin C serum aids in fighting off harmful UVA/UVB rays, so when used in conjunction with SPF helps the SPF to last longer!

 

Evening: Only Have Five (If You’re Lucky Ten) Minutes!

At night, putting the kids to bed or finishing up housework or work from a job can be exhausting, making you mom’s out there want to go straight to bed, or better yet, pass out on the couch!

We’ve come up with the best routine for only ten minutes at night:

1. Cleanse with a gentle cleanser (Image’s Ormedic or Max Stem Cell)
2. Apply a corrective serum or retinol (Image’s Max Stem Cell Serum or Skinceuticals Retinol 0.5/1.0)
3. Apply moisturizer (either of Image’s Max Stem Cell or Vital C moisturizers, or Skinceutical’s Emollience), and an eye cream or gel (try Skinceuticals AOX Eye Gel or Image’s Max Stem Cell Eye Cream)

Useful tip: Eye creams are something that are often forgotten in skin care regimens, but they are one of the most crucial steps. The skin around your eyes is thin and needs to be hydrated to prevent fine lines and wrinkles. It only takes 2 seconds!

The skin repairs itself at night so a nightly routine is essential, even if you only have 5 minutes! However if you must shorten the routine: cleanse, moisturize and apply that eye cream!

 

Want To Change Up Your Routine Once Or Twice A Week? Use A Mask!

1. Cleanse (skip the corrective serum)
2. Apply a treatment mask such as Vital C Enzyme mask or Stem Cell mask from Image. Have oily skin? Use Clarifying Clay Mask for oily skin from Skinceuticals)
3. Leave on for 5-7 minutes, rinse and apply moisturizer/eye cream
