Busy moms hardly ever find time for themselves, but studies show that a healthy lifestyle and a good skin care routine can slow aging more than any other product or method. Since time is a factor for a busy mom, finding the right beauty regimen is essential in your effort to look good – and to make your job easier, we have 5 time-saving beauty tips that you can try today.
Simplify the beauty routine
Keep things easy and start with the basics; so a tanning moisturizer is a good place to start, but you can find other interesting elements to add to your routine like lipstick or mascara. Just keep it simple so it doesn’t take too much time.
Use whitening strips
It doesn’t take long to fix your smile, and busy moms should have perfect smiles too. It just takes a minute or two to apply a whitening strip before you go to bed, but the results are incredible. You will start to notice a change within the first few weeks, but results will be perfect after a couple of months. Using a whitening strip can brighten your smile by up to two years, and they cost much less than laser whitening or other procedures.
Shower at night
If possible, shower at night when the kids are sleeping and not running around the place. It has been found that moms who prepare early for the day ahead tend to avoid the hassle that comes with morning routines as you try to get the kids ready for school and shower. The more prepared you are in the morning, the less havoc you will see in your kitchen, and accidents will be fewer still. Always try to prepare ahead, as this will make your morning routines that much smoother.
Try using dry hair shampoo
The question of how often you wash your hair really should depend on how well you take care of it to keep it clean and looking neat. If you don’t have time to wash your hair every day, dry hair shampoo is an excellent way to take that grease and lifelessness out of your hair. Keep in mind that dry shampoo should be used maybe twice or three times a week, and not every day. Eventually you’re going to need to clean the hair, so its fine to skin one washing in favor of dry shampoo, but twice is pushing things.
BB creams and CC creams
Loaded with essential skin care ingredients, BB (beauty balm) Creams and CC (color correcting) Creams are perfect for busy moms. They deliver antioxidants the skin needs to stay healthy, but they also have broad-spectrum SPF, which you need every day. When used on oily skin, it provides protection without making you look caked, and the tone evener will reduce dark spots and redness to enhance complexion through the seasons.
The difference between BB Creams and CC Creams is generally the subtle “color correcting” feature that CC Creams have. These products are meant to address things like sallowness and redness, whereas BB Creams offer a lighter foundation with some added skin care benefits.
