Get yourself on a skin care regimen and stick with it!It is always exciting getting the new latest and greatest skin care products. We instantly take them home and right out of the packaging. We find the perfect spot for them in the medicine cabinet and can hardly wait to wash our face that evening. The problem is, this enthusiasm usually only last for about a week or so. If we don't see instant results it's easy to slack off. The next thing you know you are going to bed with a face full of makeup. Yikes!Great skin takes work! Like with exercise and a healthy diet, consistency is the key to lasting results. Here are a few of my tricks to help stay on track!
1. Set a time to wash your face each evening.The closer it comes to bed time, the lazier we become and are less likely to give my skin the proper care it needs. If you are staying in for the night, wash your face right after dinner, before you settle in on the couch and dive into your Tivo. If you had a night out on the town, start your skin care routine right as you get home and change into your pajamas. When your heels come off, so should the makeup!
2. Put all your skin care products in one place.If the cleanser is in the shower, the toner is in a basket and the lotion is still in your travel bag, it makes the whole routine unappealing. I like to have one drawer designated only for my skin care products. This keeps everything neat and easy to find. Once you use it, place it back in to same spot.Another option is to get a pretty tray for your bathroom counter and place all your products in it. Having everything out and right in front of you makes it easy to grab and to. Also, displaying your products in a way that is esthetically pleasing can bring a sense of pride and motivation to use them.
3. Use quality towels.There is nothing better than patting your face dry with a soft, plush towel. It gives the feel of luxurious spa right in your own home. It’s the simple things that can be quite enjoyable.A fun trick to create a spa experience is to warm your towel. First, wet the towel and ring to remove the excess water. Place it in your microwave for 15-30 seconds. When the towel is at a comfortable temperature, lay down, place the towel across your face and just relax. This is especially great when removing a mask.
4. Keep a skin care journal.This is not only a great way to track your skin’s progress but can also keep you accountable to your routine. It can help remind you when you need to exfoliate, use a mask and get yourself back to your esthetician for maintenance. You will discover a lot about your habits, both good and bad!
