Every morning is a struggle for busy women – they run around the house making breakfast, doing many different house chores, and a lot more! But how about their daily beauty routine? Many of them might be skipping it out of their busyness, but that’s not the right alternative solution, especially when it comes to taking care of your skin. Lack of skin care can cause acne breakouts, wrinkles, dull skin, and many other harmful effects.
That’s why we researched and gathered these easy and straightforward skin care tips for a busy woman like you that you can try out to make sure you’re still taking care of your skin effectively despite the busyness. And see for yourself the results before and after adopting it in your schedule.
Wash Your Face Every Morning
First, you need to know what is your skin type before applying a skincare product to avoid adverse effects. If you have dry skin, non-lathering facial cleanser, or oil cleansers, for oily skin, however, opt for a gentle foaming face cleanser. Be careful of applying products if you have acne-prone skin, so your skin won’t get irritated.
Use a Toner
Not all facial cleansers can wash away all the dirt and oil left in yours. That’s why it’s better to use toner. Put a generous amount on a cotton pad and dab it gently on your skin, and you’ll notice there’s still dirt residue left even after you washed your face. Toner minimizes your pores, which prevents acne from forming. Also, keep in mind to use an alcohol-free toner.
Apply Moisturizer and Sunscreen
All skin types require moisturizing. If you need to go out during the day, do not forget to apply sunscreen. For a busy woman, you should choose a multipurpose skincare product so you can save time. Find a product that has sun protection and hydration effects. Skincare products like BB and CC creams can be your best friends. They act as a sunscreen, moisturizing base, and as a serum with SPF.
Always Bring Sunscreen and Wipes
Either you have dry, oily, or combination skin, everyone has to pay attention to oil and sweat. If your job requires a considerable amount of sun exposure (if you work in the field, for example), always carry a bottle of sunscreen in your bag. You can apply it every 2-3 hours.
Repeat the Process at Night
After a long day at work, you may feel terrible, and you can look haggard. Imagine that sweaty, oily, tired face is not so pretty to look at every day. Cleanse your face with a cleanser, use a toner, a d apply moisturizer again. Also, since you won’t get any sun exposure at night, you can apply some night cream and gently massage it on your face. The most important is to get a good night’s sleep because our cell’s regeneration process happens during our sleep.
