Finding time to spend alone can feel like a dream when children are in the picture, regardless of whether you’re a working or stay-at-home mom! Neglecting your skincare might come naturally when there are 100 other things you’d rather do! But could use some tips that can help supplement your busy mom lifestyle!
Allowing mom guilt to take over your sense of self-care is among the worst things you can do for your mental health. It's like the wise words written on all airplane safety cards. They remind us to secure our oxygen masks before assisting others. As parents, we pour so much time and energy into caring for children that we often forget to take care of ourselves.
But let's pause and reflect on this: when we neglect our own needs, we aren't doing anyone any favors. Instead, we find ourselves exhausted, stressed, and burnt out. And guess what? That directly impacts our ability to be the best parents we can be.
And that’s why we’re here. To give all new and old, busy moms any help, any assistance, and any tips to help take care of themselves in the most efficient yet effective way! We want to help you recharge, rejuvenate, and ultimately show up as the loving, patient, and present parent all children genuinely deserve.
5 TIPS EVERY BUSY MOM SHOULD KNOW
Tip #1: Incorporate Multi-purpose Products
One product or ingredient that serves you with many benefits will take so much time off your daily routine. Picking the right multi-taskers eliminates the need for five different products for each skin concern, helping you protect your self-care routine without compromise.
For instance, consider a facial oil like Rosehip Seed Oil, also known as Liquid Gold. It hydrates, nourishes, is an incredible anti-ager, and combats sun damage and hyperpigmentation. All you need is 2-3 drops of the oil and your skin is set for the day! As long as you know how to choose the right Rosehip Seed Oil, you are guaranteed high quality and results.
Tip #2: Switch to a Sustainable Minimalistic Routine
Incorporating multi-purpose products into your skincare and beauty regime helps you develop a more minimalistic routine, making it sustainable. Developing routines that are targeted towards your skin concerns and needs not only helps reduce the time and effort you need to put in but also magically improves the effectiveness of your skincare; you’re finally giving your skin the nutrients and repair it needs instead of bombarding it with 7 different products!
With minimalistic skincare, it's also so much easier to establish and maintain consistency. Busy moms can stick to their skincare regimen consistently, which is essential for achieving optimal results. Finally, a simplified routine allows busy moms to focus on high-quality products with beneficial ingredients.
It provides a focused and efficient approach to self-care, allowing them to maintain healthy, radiant skin while effectively managing their busy lives.
Tip #3: Overemphasise Overnight Repair
Imagine waking up to glowing, refreshed skin without having to spend extra time during your already packed day. We cannot emphasize how important and beneficial of a tip this is for all moms out there. We have been talking about how important time management is for all moms and there is no better way to make your skincare do the work for you while you have to do nothing!
While you catch up on some much-needed sleep, let your skincare products work their magic overnight. Most overnight repair products are formulated to work their wonders while you sleep.
The Luxe Night Elixir by Empress Naturals, for instance, contains concentrated active ingredients that nourish and replenish your skin, targeting specific concerns such as hydration, fine lines, and dullness. Perfecting your nighttime skincare routine is key to waking up feeling refreshed and nourished!
Tip #4: Embrace your Natural Hair
Getting your skin ready is only half of your self-care! Getting your hair done also takes a considerable amount of time, resulting in heat damage from daily blow drys. On other days, you may be finding yourself throwing your hair up in a bun without a care due to the lack of time.
Here are some hair tips that we recommend especially for those busy moms who can’t spend hours getting ready and yet want to be put together :
-
Clean Hair Care - Your hair is just as sensitive and delicate as your skin. You need clean, organic, and high-performing hair care that works with your skin and is never against it! Try MASAMI’s Hydrating Range to get incredibly soft and healthy hair!
-
Hair Mask - A solid hair moisturizing routine goes a long way in helping restore your hair’s texture, length, and overall health. Prickly Pear Seed Oil is a definite favorite for deep-conditioning hair oil massages.
- Try Overnight Braids - The healthiest way to style your hair into bouncy beach waves. Put your hair into a French braid at night and when you wake up all you’ll need to do is put some dry shampoo and hairspray to hold the curls. Easiest styling tip for busy moms!
Tip #5: Never Neglect Body Care
We’ve talked about skin and hair, but now it’s time for body care! It’s probably the easiest to neglect given that there is so much of it that needs to be cared for. But we’ve got the best solution to make body care easy, effective, and quick - a deep moisturizing body oil.
Moisturize your skin at night (after the kids have gone to bed!) with a high-quality Massage Oil that will help hydrate and nourish your body. Moreover, a good oil with essential oils can help combat other issues like stress or tension and blood circulation.
WRAPPING UP
Being a busy mom doesn't warrant a complete self-care sacrifice, especially when it concerns your skincare routine. By incorporating time-saving hacks into your daily life, you can still focus on your well-being and achieve healthy, glowing skin without adding extra stress or time-consuming steps.
Don't forget, simplifying your skincare routine is key. Focus on the essentials and opt for multi-purpose products that will save you so much time in the long run! Take advantage of those precious moments of downtime. Whether it's during naptime or after the kids go to bed, indulge in a more fulfilling skincare routine or pamper yourself with a massage- whatever feels right for you!
Remember, self-care is essential for your well-being, and it doesn't have to be a time-consuming process. Implement these time-saving hacks to find the balance between being a busy mom and still having a consistent skincare routine.
Embrace the simplicity and efficiency of these hacks, and reclaim your time without compromising your self-care.
Your skin and your well-being will thank you for it.
