Time Management - How to Make Time for Your Skin Routine

You've had a busy day. You get home, you have dinner to make and homework to assist with and laundry to rotate and you're tired. The best thing in the world sounds like throwing your comfiest sweats on and curling up on the couch with a glass of wine or bowl of ice cream while binge watching your favorite show before drifting off to sleep. The last thing you want to do is wash your face once before crawling off to bed. I get you girl.

Here's a few time management tips to help you get your skincare routine done without resenting the time and effort it takes to do it. 

1. Don't wait to do it

Wash your face right when you walk in the door, even if it's 4:00 pm. If you struggle with getting your face washed at night because you get busy and then you get too tired to do it, washing your face right when you get home helps you get it done before the busyness of nighttime chores and exhaustion take over. 

2. Schedule it

I think it's safe to say most of us are ruled by our calendars these days right? If you're a calendar person like me, schedule your skincare tasks just like you would a regular appointment like a massage, mammogram or meeting with your boss. 

• Schedule a weekly face masque session that works best for your schedule. #masquemonday is a great motivational step!
• Make a nightly appointment to wash your face and apply your nighttime skincare routine
• Write it on the calendar - Apply sunscreen 📝
• Set an alarm on your phone to remind you to reapply sunscreen every 2-3 hours while outside

3. Find a buddy

An accountability partner can help you stay on track. Pick someone who will check in with you consistently and who won't be afraid to call you on your b.s. If you struggle with double cleansing and she struggles with wearing sunscreen, be there for each other by checking in daily, sending each other before & after pics, and planning a girl's night every now and then to face masque and relax. 

Skincare doesn't have to be complicated and it doesn't have to look a certain way. If you're in a busy season of life, fit your skincare routine into the cracks of life and do your best. Remember that done is better than none!
