5 EASY STEPS TO GLOWING SKIN: A QUICK MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE FOR BUSY MOMS 

Hello there, fellow supermoms!

As we transition from summer to the back-to-school whirlwind, we often find ourselves caught in a chaotic morning rush. With kids to prepare, breakfast to make, and lunch to pack, it's easy to forget about our own skincare routine. But fret not, because you're not alone! I've been there too, and I'm here to share some precious secrets from my own hectic mornings. Let's seize those precious moments and make sure your skin gets the love it deserves.

Rise and Shine for YOU

To kickstart your morning skincare routine, it's crucial to ensure you've had a restful night's sleep. Once you're well-rested, set your alarm just a tad earlier than the rest of the household. Those ten precious minutes are a gift to yourself, a chance to create a tranquil space before the hustle and bustle begins.

Now, here's a secret I swear by: start your day with a cup of warm water. It's a simple yet powerful ritual that can work wonders for your well-being.

Sipping warm water in the morning can aid digestion, boost metabolism, and help flush out toxins. Trust me: it'll leave you feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the world (or at least your bustling kitchen).

What helps me make the most of these precious moments is dedicating the first part of my morning to 10 minutes of yoga and a bit of meditation. This small practice sets the tone for the day, putting me in a good mood and bringing a smile to my face. With that positive energy, you'll be ready to take on whatever the day may bring.

Morning Routine Tag-Team

Harness the power of teamwork! Get your family involved in breakfast and lunch prep. It's a win-win for everyone. Plus, it's an excellent way to teach responsibility and cooperation to the little ones. You'll be amazed at how this small change can free up precious moments for your self-care.

Streamlined Skincare for Super Efficiency

Now, let's dive into the real magic – your morning skincare routine. In the midst of those bustling mornings, simplicity is your best friend.

1. Double Cleanse for a Fresh Start

Start with a quick double cleanse to ensure your skin is fresh and ready to absorb the goodness that follows. Begin with an oil based Precleanse  to remove any traces of makeup and impurities. Follow it up with a cleanser tailored to your skin type. This one-two punch ensures a clean slate for your face, just like starting a new day with a clean canvas.

Select the ideal cleanser tailored to your individual skin type and needs:

Special Cleansing Gel:  The go-to for normal to combination skin. It's like a gentle hug for your face, leaving it refreshed and balanced.

Ultracalming Cleanser: Sensitive skin's best friend! It calms and soothes while gently cleansing, saying goodbye to redness and irritation. 

     Dermal Clay Cleanser: For those with oily or congested skin, this one's a  winner. It detoxifies and refines, giving your skin a matte finish.

2. Toner: Think of toner as a morning dew-kiss for your face. A quick spritz revitalizes and preps your skin for the next steps, like a brisk morning breeze awakening the world.

Multi-Active Toner: A versatile hydrating spray for refreshed skin.

Antioxidant Hydramist: Defend your skin with antioxidant-rich toner.

Hyaluronic Ceramide: Hydrate and strengthen skin with this powerful duo.

Ultracalming Mist: Soothe sensitive skin with this calming solution.

3. Now, let's pamper those beautiful eyes, the mirrors of your soul, and make them shine even brighter. You can choose from these amazing products that will help you achieve that radiant look you deserve.

Dive into our range of specialized serums, each carefully crafted to cater to your unique skin needs, ensuring that your skincare regimen is not only effective but also a delight.

5.    Moisturizer with SPF: Keep things swift with a moisturizer that includes SPF. It'll keep your skin hydrated and shielded from harmful UV rays without adding extra steps to your routine. Or, mix your regular moisturizer with SPF on your palms before applying, saving time and ensuring sun protection. 

    And here are some of my absolute favorite products:
