Building Consistency in Skincare Routine🥺

In my head I don't see skincare as a chore. For me it's a fun way to wind down at the end of the day or a refreshing activity to start my day. I always look forward to my skincare routine. I think another way to stay consistent is that I actually allow myself to skip my skincare routine occasionally when I don't have the energy! This also contributes to the mindset that it's not a chore!

Whenever I feel like skipping my skincare, I try to do just the bare minimum instead. Morning: sunscreen Evening: oil based cleanser, water based cleanser, moisturiser If I have had a long day, I try to do my skincare as soon as I come home or have some energy. If I wait until bedtime when I'm already tired, it's easy to skip 😅

Make it a moment that you enjoy. My skincare routine is something that I look forward to doing because it is very relaxing!

For me, my skincare routine means many things! It’s not just matter of taking care of my skin but it’s me time! It’s my escape from the day! I suffer from chronic pain and some days can be really bad but I always look forward to being able to lock myself in the bathroom, forget about my issues and indulge and pamper myself. So not only do I stay consistent but I take my mind of all my problems if not only for a little bit!

Find products you enjoy using. Is there some scents you like? Is it easier for you using a pump dispenser or a dropper, etc.? Which textures do you enjoy more? Store some products near your sink, like a cleanser, so you will use it when brushing your teeth at morning and at night. Leave a moisturizer on your bedside table and a lipstick. Leave a sunscreen near your front door and in your purse, so it will remind you to apply them before leaving. Have a fun masking ritual with your kids or partner. I hope this helps! 😊
