It is morning again (!?) , and exhausted as you are and and sleep-deprived at that as a multi-tasking mom, you find one day that age has already taken it's effect on your face.
You shy at having face of the day (fod) photo-ops; you are worried yours is the face of haggardness (foh). Don't be.
In your utter state of domestic duty overload (assuming you have no yaya or househelp), mommies should not bend to the call of being a beauty forgotten (here meant as a euphemism for "losyang").
Choose not to be a poster mom for "haggardness" if you can help it, 40-something moms;
here is a do-it-yourself (diy) morning skincare routine to banish your tired look for a fresh and dewy vibe:
Diy homemade skin care routine
1) Dab a cube of ice on face (you may cover the ice cube with a piece of clean cloth before you slather the ice on your skin (5-10 minutes). Do this in the morning to improve pores' appearance
2) Let your skin rest after. Pat dry.
3) Get two (2) slices of cucumber and massage on the face (use it as a facial mask). Let it stay for 10-15 minutes.
4) Get one fresh egg and separate the egg white from the yolk and apply on the face by hand (keep it simple dearie).
Leave the egg yolk inside the shell or place the egg yolk in a small dish; meanwhile, the egg white serves as your second mask.
When your skin feels tight already to a point your face looks stretched out, wash your face with tap water.
5) Apply the egg yolk on your face and gently massage (3rd mask). This whitening step has to stay in your face 5-10 minutes or more.
6) Use your regular facial wash that is gentle enough (do not use another soap with whitening ingredients) . Just use a gentle soap when you use this skin care routine.
7) Apply your preferred moisturizer, suncreen.
8) If you have to put on a makeup, try the "less is more" philosophy and go for light to medium sheer coverage (powder or bb cream).
Yes, momma be kind to your skin because nobody else would help you in your most trying days but you; a quick fix skincare is better than letting yourself be neglected. Aim to feel fresh and beautiful despite of, inspite of.
May I point out this may not work for everyone and I am not claiming this routine exclusively as my own concoction of beauty regimen.
This is an old school way so this technique have been used by moms decades before we had diy blogs. It is a pass on knowledge of beauty routine and I held this routine, combined two items that I usually buy for a diy skincare.
Please also remember this may not work for all skin types and sensitivities.
So, all things said, go and discover your own fruity or plant-based beauty cocktail, mrs beauties.
Because beauty should be within every one's reach even amidst stress and domestic duties.
