The most difficult step of beginning your skin journey is getting started. The second most difficult step is finding a solid routine that not only works for your skin, but also for your schedule. You’re busy. You have a million things going on. The last thing you need is an overly complicated skincare routine when you only have 10 minutes to get ready. As a mom and business owner, I truly understand the need to maximize time, so here are my tips and tricks for making your routine work for your routine.

Invest in high quality, multipurpose products at Mantis Spa Omaha

At Mantis, we love a simple, easy routine that punches a powerful punch. When looking at products, there are indeed ingredients that can target multiple concerns, but when I’m curating a regimen for my clients, I always look at formulas over individual ingredients. We absolutely love Lira Clinical because their products focus on correction of multiple concerns at once. 97% of their products have brightening ingredients, which is a frequent concern we see at Mantis. However, their formulations can tackle so much more without any extra steps. They effectively blend peptides, minerals, plant stem cells, and botanicals that can work together to treat signs of aging, acne, pigmentation, and even acne! We love a multifunctional product that makes it easier for us to simplify. I’m confident that if you work with us, we’ll help you find your perfect routine for a quick and easy application.

Prepping for your routine will change your life

When I know I have a busy morning coming up, I like to set my products out in the order that I’ll apply them the night before. This saves time on trying to figure out what to use and when. When you’re limited on time, the last thing you want is to be fumbling around looking for that specific serum that your skin loves! Having them set up where you can see them will also help not only with speeding up your routine, but also with consistency. I find this to be helpful in the evenings, too. Having your products easily accessible is going to change the game for your skincare routine and I really mean that!

Do your nighttime routine right when you get home

Doing my nighttime routine right when I get home from work is the biggest hack I have for staying consistent with my evening routine. When I get home for the night, I’m ready to get cozy in my bed, read books or watch a show, so I’m very unlikely to get up to wash my face once I’m already in bed. I’ve heard from many clients that they can relate to this, so if you’re one of them, give this a try! If you have some extra time before dinner, try to take a few extra minutes to yourself a few times per week to truly enjoy your skincare routine. I love to romanticize my nighttime routine by turning the overhead lights off and turn on mood lighting, spending extra time on my cleansing massage, and if I have even more time, I’ll throw on a face mask or use a peel pad for an extra treatment. Your skincare routine shouldn’t feel like a burden or a chore. Ask yourself how we can turn it from a task into a moment of self care on a busy day.

On the go skincare can amplify your routine

You can always give your skincare routine a boost throughout the day! One of my favorite ways to do this is incorporating a mist that I can just spray on the go. My favorite corrective mist that feels super luxurious and makes a true difference is the CBD Skin Mist from Glymed. This is one of those products I talked about earlier that give benefit multiple concerns with just one product. This hydrating mist contains CBD to calm the repair the skin, niacinamide to brighten and even the skin tone, and aloe to gently hydrate and soothe. I like to think of this product more as a serum or moisturizer than just a mist because it truly is a multipurpose product that’s convenient enough to throw in your bag on a busy day!
