A confident mom is a fun mom. It’s often difficult, however, to find the time to maintain a beauty routine while chasing your kids around or trying to plan. I’ve gathered a list of easy ways to keep a regimen without devoting too much time to it. Follow along or share your own favorite beauty hacks!
1. Skin
Establish a night routine that’s fast and easy by simply applying coconut oil before bed. The oil’s moisturizing benefits can seep in while you sleep without leaving your skin oily or acne-prone, and its natural antibacterial properties can wipe away any of the germs you might have (probably did) come into contact with while playing with your kids.
2. Makeup
Save time by investing in double-duty products. Try a lipstick that can double as blush in a pinch, or if you want to go for it, try a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen. This can help you keep a tanned look while hydrating your skin and protecting you from harmful UV rays. Win, win, win!
3. Hair
Skip the line at the salon and try a custom hair color at home to eliminate the stress of finding your own shade. Multitask while your color sets in by throwing on a sheet mask, vacuuming, or reading a chapter of your favorite book.
4. Nails
Before you paint your nails, prep by cleaning them with some distilled white vinegar. It will not only help the polish last longer, but it will also help it go on smoother the first time. This time saver can reduce your time doing your nails and free you up to play with your kids.
5. Clothing
You can make many changes to your clothing game without breaking the bank or investing too much time. Adding wrinkle-free clothes, like a blend of polyester and spandex, can help when you run out of time to fold the laundry. You can rarely go wrong by throwing a stylish scarf over a sweater or T-shirt when in doubt.
There are countless ways to maintain beauty, even as a busy mom. Just take a few minutes every day to take care of yourself with these beauty hacks and feel comfortable in your skin.
