Fellow mamas, what is the one non-negotiable thing that you do for yourself everyday? Do you do anything for yourself at all? If not it’s high time to do so after a hard day’s work because let’s be honest, having a 24/7 hip attachment is undeniably draining.
I do plenty of small but nice things for myself daily and I’m not afraid to admit it! Out of them all, the one that I absolutely wouldn’t skim on is my night skincare routine. Sometimes if time permits, I would even throw on a face mask to finish things off. I’ve tried a number of masks, even the complicated but fun rubber ones but nowadays, my favourite has got to be the cheap and cheerful The Solution masks as they are self-explanatory, adhere well to my skin and are super hydrating. Taking care of my skin has become one of those things that I really enjoy ever since I started experimenting with the Korean 10-step skincare routine. Before you start wondering how I could possibly incorporate 10 steps twice a day into my life, I actually don’t. I’ve become a lot less rigid about the routine and would only use products that I see fit to my skin condition at that time. For example I might be a bit more light-handed during summer as opposed to winter, when my skin is a bit drier and flakier. I’ve also become less obsessed about buying all the popular skincare and would rather finish with 1 product before opening a new bottle of something. For me, once the novelty of this routine started to wear off, I became a lot more sensible again about the amount of money I spent on beauty stuff.
Your turn. I would love to know that one thing that you do that you absolutely enjoy daily. I could use a few more ideas!
