Daytime Beauty Routine

Daytime Beauty Routine

Do you have a daytime beauty routine? You know the little things you do each morning to get ready for your day. I have quite a few things that I do each morning regardless of what I have going on that day, whether or not I’m wearing makeup or keeping it bare. I do a bunch of little things to take care of my skin.

After I get out of the shower, I start by washing my face, this really helps to wake me up and let’s me feel super refreshed. I follow that up with a toner, eye cream, serum, a lotion to even out my skin tone, a moisturizer and spf. At this point my face is prepped for the day or ready for me to apply my makeup. Once I’m to this point, before getting dressed for the day, I switch between one of two moisturizers depending on what my skin needs.

Usually when it’s colder, my skin gets extremely dry so I want to use a healing moisturizer. I want to be able to stay moisturized while helping prevent the dry skin as well. AmLactin® Ultra Hydrating Body Cream is the ultimate recovery therapy that is especially helpful for healing severely dry areas like elbows and feet. Thanks to clinically proven, patented, triple action ULTRAPLEX®, this moisturizing formula with rich humectants and creamy emollients gently exfoliates and intensely hydrates for long-lasting moisture and serious relief. When I use this, it’s like I’ve found the solution for dry skin! It’s fragrance free so there is no harsh scent to stay with you all day.

If I’m not feeling extremely dry but I am wanting to still say moisturized. I reach for my AmLactin® Moisturizing Body Lotion. This lotion with clinically proven 12% lactic acid is pH-balanced for the skin and gently encourages natural skin cell renewal through exfoliation, creating the soft, smooth texture you’ll love. It works deep within the skin and offers long-lasting moisture retention for real relief. Using this in the morning keeps me moisturized throughout the day.

The body lotions are best used after you shower when your skin is still wet so it can soak up the lotion and keep your moisturized longer. I then throw on some lip balm and I’m ready to start my day. It sounds like a lot but my entire Daytime Beauty Routine is easy enough to get done in fifteen minutes or less.

People everywhere are talking about AmLactin alpha-hydroxy skin care. And for good reason – it does what it’s supposed to do. No overpromises or puffery. Their formulas with clinically proven alpha-hydroxy acids gently exfoliate and intensely hydrate dry skin to help it return to a healthy, natural state. For long-lasting moisture and serious relief. Get serious care for softer skin.

    Well my routines are very simple, I always try natural ways for special care of my skin. But for day time if I remain at home I prefer a day time moisturizing cream and before stepping out I apply a sunscreen or a sun protector on my face, neck, shoulder, the areas are exposed to suns. I think if you take a proper care like washing off the dirt regularly and a special care in the weekend it is more than enough for a healthy skin! And yes before choosing a brand or a product we must see the reviews and ingredients that product contains, whether it has any harmful element or not!
    Be Healthy, Be Fresh!

Instagram post 2192621539170211925_31480883 We’re hitting that time of year where every diet/program/tummy tea/magic pill is going to be shoved down your throat. Your social media feed will be full of it. It’ll be on billboards when you’re driving. You’ll start seeing ads for “Special Pricing for women for just $10/mth” because you know we only really care if women are fat. Must change the women. 🙄 Drink this for weight loss. Cut the carbs. Don’t eat that. Juice cleanse this detox tea that. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
This is your reminder that your size does not define you. Your worth is not held in a number on a scale. The tag in those jeans? It means nothing. You can be healthy at ANY size. BMI is bullshit. Sugar is not a sin. Carbs are fine. Exercise is not a punishment. Food does not have a moral compass. That piece of cake does not equal failure. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
In years past I’ve felt pressured to have a weight loss related goal or resolution when entering the new year. Sometimes that feeling was crippling. And this year? IDGAF. Not one single fuck. This is me 🤷🏼‍♀️ If you have a weight loss goal, that’s cool. I’m just here to remind you that you don’t NEED one to be the best version of you. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
If you’re looking for non-weight related goals for the new year... here are mine: ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
• Get Stronger ⠀
• Take no shit ⠀
• Sleep more ⠀
• Travel my state ⠀
• Drink more water ⠀
• Try a yoga class ⠀
• Take the train to NYC ⠀
• Go to the beach more⠀
• Lift heavier⠀
• More date nights⠀
• Be still⠀
• Read more books ⠀
• Nurture connections⠀
• Make 2020 my bitch ⠀

The last few days I’ve been feeling off. Down? Maybe.. Anxious? Absolutely. Stressed? Yep. Work drained me. Jim got sick so our schedule is out of whack. I’ve felt like there’s not enough time in the day to do everything I think I should be doing. Deadlines. My cats knocked over a full glass of soda onto my just cleaned floor. I slept on the couch to try to stay away from Jims cold and woke up miserable. I thought all day it was a day earlier then it was. I hated my dinner. All tiny little things that trigger my anxiety when happening all at once. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Here’s a strange way my anxiety and depression presents. Whenever I even feel it starting to creep in a tiny bit I get SO ANGRY at myself. Like I’ve done something wrong even when I know I haven’t. I get angry at myself for not having a plan to turn it around. Full on rage that I can’t even figure out why it’s happening. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Usually when that happens I’ll force myself to figure it out. Plan it out. Make a list. But right now? Right now I’m choosing to just sit with myself. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
We all deal with the shit that comes with life. Big or small. Life is sometimes a bitch. And that’s fine. We get to do it all again tomorrow. Just a gentle reminder that it’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to just stop and let your body rest. It’ll all be there in the morning. Give yourself permission to just be still if you must. ■ ⠀
