Embracing a New Mum Skincare Journey!
Today, I want to share with you the exciting journey I've started with my new personalised skincare routine. As busy as we are taking care of our little ones, it's crucial to remember to take care of ourselves too, and what better way to do that than by investing in a proper skincare routine?
After seeing everyone else fall in love with these amazing products and watching their results, I decided to try out the essential bundle that includes a cleanser, toner, and moisturixer, all tailored specifically to my skin's needs by the worlds best dermatologist dr. Simon Ourian.
Here's how my journey began and some skincare tips that I've found helpful:
1. **Identifying My Skin Type:** The first step I took was taking a skin scan and learning about my unique skin. This step is crucial as different skin types require different products and care. I found that my skin is combination type, which means it's a mix of both oily and dry areas.
2. **Cleansing is Key:** A gentle yet effective cleanser is the foundation of any good skincare routine. Cleansing twice a day(I thought once is enough!), once in the morning and once before bedtime, helps keep the skin fresh and healthy.
3. **The Magic of Toning:** Toning is often overlooked, but it plays a vital role in balancing the skin's pH levels and prepping it for moisturisation.
4. **Hydration is a Must:** As a mum constantly on the go, my skin sometimes becomes dehydrated. A lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturider is a lifesaver! It keeps the skin nourished without clogging pores, and I make sure to apply it both morning and night.
5. **Consistency is the Key:** With kids and a busy schedule, sticking to a skincare routine can be challenging. However, being consistent is crucial for seeing real results. I set a reminder on my phone to make sure I never miss a step, and it quickly became a habit.
6. **Patch Test New Products:** When trying out new skincare products, especially if they're personalised, always do a patch test first to check for any allergic reactions or sensitivity.
7. **Stay Hydrated and Eat Well:** Skincare isn't just about what you put on your face; it's also about what you put into your body. Drinking plenty of water and eating a balanced diet. I found green smoothies are good way to get what I need.
8. **Less is More:** Avoid overloading your skin with too many products. Stick to the basics, like the essential bundle I mentioned earlier, and add other treatments or serums gradually if needed.
9. **Don't Forget to Pamper Yourself:** As mums, we often put ourselves last, but remember, self-care is vital. Treat yourself to a relaxing face mask or a spa day when you can. You deserve it!
It feels wonderful to take a few minutes every day to pamper myself, especially when I know they will give me the best results.
So, to all the amazing mums out there, don't forget to take care of yourselves too! A simple, personalised skincare routine can do wonders for your skin and boost your confidence, even amidst the hectic mum-life. Here's to happy, healthy skin for all of us!
