As a skin specialist, I love helping women improve their skin and feel their very best! Mothers, more than anyone, can often put their needs last and tend to others ahead of themselves. Taking a few moments every day to put effort into your skin care can be a really accessible way to treat yourself and have some 'you time' in the midst of the demands of being a parent. Below, I'll go into the things I think all mums should bear in mind when it comes to their skin care routine.
IN A HURRY
As I have been part of the mum club for the last year, I definitely understand the importance of time and how it can be in limited supply as a parent! As a mother, if I don't get enough time to do a full routine, I always stick to three specific pillars. These are a trio of things which I will always do, no matter what! They are as follows: to double cleanse my skin, to apply a serum or retinol, and finally, to always use an SPF in the daytime and a moisturiser at night.
THE PERFECT DAY
I'll lay out what I think makes the best skin routine for when time is in abundance. This is likely not the reality every single day for busy mums, but let's try and consider a perfect day when you do get the chance to complete a full set of steps.
