In the past I've been very laid back when it comes to taking care of my skin, but as I get older I'm taking more time to focus on a better skin care routine. This month I turn 31. This may seem old to some and young to others. I feel alive in many ways, but am definitely feeling the aging process. What steps am I taking to protect my skin and age gracefully?
I still feel like a child at heart. Sometimes I wonder, how do I own a house? How am I a mom of 3? Am I really driving a mini-van right now? Then I realize I'm wearing a Lisa Frank tee and I'm jamming out to Katy Perry. One thing I am aware of is my skin aging over time. I've noticed small brown spots start to pop up on my hands and arms. They don't necessarily scare me, but they are a reminder I won't stay young forever ; ). Someone once told me you can always tell the age of a woman by her neck. So if you see me observing your neck I might be trying to guess your age..haha! With all that to say here are the steps of my current skin care routine!
1.) HYDRATE
After every shower I put on moisturizer to keep my skin from drying out. Face, hands, legs, feet, and arms. While I'm at work, I have to put on moisturizer after I use the restroom because I can't stand the way my hands feel dried out. I immediately apply Aveeno's Daily Moisturizing Lotion which I have been using for years.
2.) EXFOLIATE
I exfoliate with a face scrub at least twice a week at night to wash away dead skin cells and rejuvenate my skin. Then I apply a serum and add Aveeno's Skin Relief Moisture Repair Cream. I love waking up to a face that feels soft and refreshed even if I only got 5 hours of sleep...thanks kids.
3.) COVER UP
I try my best to stay out of the sun, especially if I'm at the river or beach and in the sun for long periods of time. I'm always wearing a hat, cover up and sunscreen. I apply sunscreen to not only my face but my arms and hands. I'll also put on sunscreen when I know I'm going on a road trip because I'll be exposed to the sun from the windows.
4.) TREAT YO SELF
I try to get a facial once or twice a year to deep clean my pores and increase skin cell renewal. When I can't go to the spa I apply a hydrating sheet mask once a month. I love freaking my family out while wearing them ; ). I've also had Botox twice over the past two years, and hope to continue that every few years.
