flawless Skincare for busy, Boss Babes💎

Some of us simply do not have time for a 12-step skincare regime. For me, and others who prioritize skincare on a super busy schedule, a minimalist and straightforward regime is a must. This post will breakdown the necessities of a simple, yet comprehensive, bomb skincare regime.

The goal of a good skincare routine lies in maintaining clean, hydrated, and moisturized skin without stripping its natural oils and nutrients. The three qualities above are absolutely critical to beautiful skin, so keep this in mind when picking and choosing what works for you!

A.M./P.M Regime

1.) Cleanse

Always, Always, Always start by washing your face with a gentle cleanser. This will enable you to start your regime on a fresh, and clean surface and a clean slate yields the best results. This step works to eliminate skin-damaging dirt and pollution from the surface. Pat dry with a microfiber, muslin, or silk face cloth. Regardless of what type of face cloth you use, never ever scrub your face with it, that's what exfoliating is for! Cleanser should be water or oil based depending on the type of skin and impurities you have.

2.) Tone

A gentle toner is just as important as cleansing, as is restores your skins natural pH balance. It should not be overly drying, but instead it should add nourishment and refresh skin. Toner also helps to remove the dirt and impurities that survived the cleanse and is especially beneficial for acne and oil prone skin.

3.) Exfoliate

I'll be the first to tell you, exfoliating is the key to flawless skin. It removes dead skin, the dirt, oils, blackhead, and everything else that likes deep within your pores. Exfoliators that contain sea salt and activated charcoal literally pulls dirt from pores, so don't skip exfoliating sis! Remember this is only necessary a few times a week and over-exfoliation can damage skin. Aim to exfoliate every other, or every two days. DO NOT exfoliate twice a day, it is not necessary!

4.) Moisturize

Without a rich, and consistent moisturizer skin will be dead, dull and flaky so its an absolute must. A good moisturizer will combat wrinkles, acne, sun spots, acne, flaking, and more. Try to moisturize when skin is clean and damp to trap water and nutrients into skin; but don't forget you can (and should) moisturize when skin looks dull, dry, or just because you feel like it (my favorite excuse to moisturize 😂). You may need to moisturize more in summer and winter months and that's okay! Add an SPF to your moisturizer when going out in the sun.

This regime can serve as both an AM and PM routine (recommended), or just once a day. You can add or remove steps according to skincare needs, time constraints, and personal preference.

Well that's it for today babes and as always, I hope you enjoy this Monday Gem, Happy Monday!
