Here's to Pampering the Mother Figures in our Lives!
My mom didn't focus a lot on skincare when my sister and I were growing up.
She was a nurse, a mom, a wife, a daughter, sister and friend, and a pet mom! She spun her own wool and she sewed many of our clothes. Amazing, right?
Her skincare regimen consisted of cleaning her face at night with just hot water and a face cloth, and maybe a little bit of Avon moisturizer.
So it's wonderful now that for Mother's Day, and many other occasions, my sister and I pamper her with soothing, luxurious skincare, to make her skin glow, and introduce her to the calming ritual of taking care of her skin.
She loves it! She is leaning in to her routine - and is even using a night serum!
A relaxing and effective skincare routine doesn't need to cost a lot of money to be effective and appreciated by the mother figures in your life.
It starts with cleansing skin thoroughly - to remove all make-up, oil and dirt that accumulates during the day. A double-cleanse with an oil-based and then a water-based cleanser is the gold standard, but as long as skin is thoroughly clean, that is what matters.
Then, a balancing toner, to reset skin’s pH levels and lightly exfoliate and clarify skin. Then, a treatment like an essence, serum, or serums to target specific concerns like hydration, wrinkles, or dullness, and a moisturizer to seal it all in. That's it!
It can be a few steps, or more, as products can be layered. You can also add other steps like an eye cream, an exfoliant, a night cream, or a relaxing sheet mask. These are beautiful treatments that provide intensive benefits to mind, body and soul.
It’s great to share skincare experiences and rituals with the mothers and mother figures in your life, whether you are a daughter or a son, or husband, a wife or whatever.
Skincare is self care - it’s for everyone, and gifting it is a great way to show your love and appreciation.
So take a look at the Mother's Day PRODUCTS and SETS I have curated for you, and have a skin-tastic Mother’s Day!
