It is said that you fall in love slowly and then all at once. Staring in the mirror year after year, slowly aging, everything seems to be in the right place on the right track, until it isn’t.
Suddenly there are wrinkles and brown spots, and texture, and fuzzy things that were not there previously in all those gazes in the mirror.
Skin should not have to face the consequences from fun in the sun and gravity but it does. It is part of aging and embracing it, for one, is the best way to combat all the years of beautiful moments we as human so desperately deserve. Unfortunately it is harder for me to face the facts without a routine in place.
As a mom of two boys, caring for them and living my fullest life, has led me to dial back my skincare routine a bit and focus on nourishment from the inside out and limit the number of products I use.
Antioxidant. Correct. Protect.
Basically, those are all anyone needs to feel good in their skin while still embracing the imperfections. A good vitamin C and Ferulic Acid Serum will keep free radicals at bay from pollutants and harmful UV rays. Choosing your biggest “problem” to treat is the easiest way to keep your routine simple. Find a go to product to treat dark spots, texture, dullness, dryness, or fine lines. Trying to tackle them all is like learning to play 4 different instruments at the same time. It is possible but why make it more difficult? Choose one product and stick with it focusing on your top area of concern. After correcting, all that is needed is an SPF to prevent further damage from occurring.
Simple allows the freedom to spend time doing the things that bring you joy so you can enjoy a few more laugh lines 🙂
