Hi girls! I hope you are all safe, healthy, and doing well! I’ve taken the last few weeks off from my blog to process everything going on in the world and refocus on what’s most important: my family. I have missed you all so much and the peacefulness I get from writing. I felt inspired to come back on here tonight and spread a little bit of joy where I can. Even if it’s just to encourage you to take five minutes for yourself during this time, it makes me so happy!
Speaking of happiness, I think self care plays a very important role in that! Whether you are staying home right now (like me) or a mom who is home all day with her kids (like me), it’s so important to take a few minutes for yourself everyday. You can’t pour from an empty cup! I’ve gotten creative over the last couple of years and there are a few things I like to do to make myself feel pampered without having to leave my home.
Keep Up Your Routines – My evening skincare routine is so important to me! It brings me so much joy and allows for a few minutes every evening to focus on myself. I just started using EltaMD PM Therapy Facial Moisturizer and I’ll share more about it below!
Get Some Fresh Air – Eat dinner in your backyard or walk the dog around the neighborhood. Fresh air and sunshine is essential to your mental health.
Create Space For Calm – Wake up earlier then your kids and enjoy your morning coffee while it’s still hot or meditate. After the kids go to bed, take a bath with candles and a face mask or spend time unplugging from electronics.
Indulge In Little Luxuries – Paint your nails with a gel polish, have a scoop of your favorite ice cream (we are all about balance over here!), or apply a fresh layer of self tanner.
My Evening Self Care Skincare Routine with EltaMD PM Therapy
My skincare routine is very important to me! I always wash my makeup off at the end of the day and make it a priority to use good products. A newer favorite of mine is the EltaMD PM Therapy Facial Moisturizer. It’s making my skin (and me!) so happy right now! I’ve been using it every evening and waking up to my skin feeling nourished, hydrated, renewed, and regenerated. After cleansing my face in the evening, I apply a small pearl-sized amount of the EltaMD PM Therapy Facial Moisturizer to my clean skin and massage it in using circular motions upward.
It’s so important to apply a good moisturizer at night! Your skin is at it’s weakest at the end of the day. While you sleep, your body is repairing itself naturally so I like to give my skin a little bit of a helping hand. It’s the perfect time for EltaMD PM Therapy Facial Moisturizer to really help the skin regenerate and make it feel super nourished. I wake up to my skin feeling supple! It’s a little luxury that I get to have at home and a part of my skincare that gives me a boost of positivity.
The EltaMD PM Therapy Facial Moisturizer is great for all skin types and is dermatologist recommended! It contains Ceramides that strengthens the skin’s natural moisture barrier along with Niacinamide and antioxidants to improve skin color and tone. It helps stimulate cell growth and collagen formation, which leads to more skin elasticity and less wrinkles (yes, please!). Plus, it’s available on Amazon so no need to leave your house to try it!
Do you have any favorite self care rituals you can do from home? Please let me know if you try the moisturizer!
