Moms shouldn’t be too busy to take care of herself too. While we plan our time around everyone else’ needs, we should inject a fraction for ourselves as well. And because looking lovely is not as simple as it seems, here are a few and easy beauty hacks to be added to your to-do list.
Spa in the Shower
Time in the spa is time you cannot afford. Do it in your own shower instead, use a moisture-rich body wash. Look for products with aloe and vitamin E, they are known to hydrate your skin. And choose those with an invigorating scent like citrus – it will perk you up.
Locks to Envy
Keep an anti-frizz cream handy for bad hair days,to get rid of the frizz and make your hair look sleek. Check out products that can work on both wet and dry hair, so you can use it after the shower and for daytime touch-ups. For curly hair, a curl-enhancing mousse applied into wet hair will define your curls. You won't need to blow-dry too. Or upgrade your ponytail into a braided bun. Loosely braid hair and twist it into a low chignon at the nape of the neck. Secure with bobby pins.
Dazzling Visage
As you go about your usual daily routine, donning a polished look throughout is difficult. A tinted moisturizer is the trick. It will give you the polished look a foundation would give but it will not feel heavy on your skin and will protect it from the sun too. Choose one with SPF 15 or higher. Just don’t forget to thoroughly clean your face at the end of the day.
Modish Cheeks
A full make up is reserved for date nights with the hubby. A light wash of color will make you look fresh-faced all day. Swirl the creamy blush directly on the apples of your cheeks using your fingers.
Perky Eyes
Feeling tired and looking it? Brush on two coats of curl-enhancing mascara. Long, curled lashes will not only open up eyes it will also help you look awake in seconds.
Silky Lips
A tube of tinted lip gloss in your purse is a no-fuss alternative to lipstick and looks good even when it fades. Slick it on anytime you feel like a vote of confidence is needed on a particularly tiring day.
Wipe Your Worries Away
Not only will it take extra time, but the last thing you want to do is use heavy creams or cleansers to clean your face, especially in the summer when it’s humid and creams feel heavy on the skin! Use wet towelettes instead. It will gently remove make up and instantly hydrate your face much like a moisturizer would. I suggest using baby wet wipes, they are gentle on the skin and are usually hypoallergenic.
