Caring for the Caregiver: Skin Care Tips for Busy Moms!

My friend Hannah Fisher is guest blogging today. She is the go-to person about skin care for busy moms. Not only is she running her own skin care business, she is also a busy mom with three boys – one of them an infant. She is always radiant and glowing. She clearly knows what it takes to put your best face forward – even when sleep is a rare commodity. 

As busy moms, it is hard to take the time to take care of ourselves. But as important as it is to eat right and to exercise it is just as important to take care of your skin! Here are some helpful tips to keep your skin glowing, healthy and radiant this holiday season.

1. Sunscreen: no matter where you live it is important to protect your skin against the harmful UV rays that follow you where ever you go. UV rays are there whether you just walk in and out of your house or are driving in the car. There is no such thing as a “healthy tan.”
2. Exfoliation: it is imperative to exfoliate your skin to remove the dry, dead skin cells. Moisturizing your skin will then hydrate the good cells instead of merely moving around the deal cells and dirt. (Gross)
3. Moisturize: keep your skin well hydrated regardless of which skin type you have. Using the correct moisturizer for your specific needs (normal, dry or oily) a key step in keeping your skin healthy and preventing the signs of aging.
4. Eye Cream: this is a must! The area of skin around your eye is some of the thinnest areas on your body. As moms we are tired and many of us are trying to combat those dark circles after long sleepless nights. A great eye cream will not only illuminate your eye area but also hydrate and reduce dark circles and puffiness. It’s like sleep in a bottle.
5. Get blemishes under control! Especially mothers with young infants may feel the effects of the surging hormones on their skin. You must get the blemishes under control before treating other skin care concerns.
6. Take off your makeup! No matter how tired you are be sure to remove your makeup each night! Make up that is not removed clogs pores leading to breakouts and increases the rate we age. If you are too tired to do your whole skin care routine at least grab a facial cloth and do a quick clean up!
7. Don’t forget your lips! People don’t realize when taking care of their skin that your lips are just as important. As we age, we lose the color, plumpness and definition in our lips. Make sure to exfoliate your lips especially during the winter months and use a lip balm with SPF during the day to protect against the suns harmful rays.
8. Take Care of your hands! Have you ever heard the old adage “if you want to know someones age look at their hands not their face?” We forget to protect our hands, which leads to excessive sun exposure and dry chapped hands from too much hand washing and cold weather. It is just as important to moisturize and use sunscreen on your hands as it is your face! Oh and don’t forget added SPF when going for a gel manicure!
