It’s a weekday morning and your day has begun at 4:30 am. From the moment your alarm rings, it’s a whirlwind of fixing breakfast, packing lunches, brushing little teeth, tying little shoelaces, and ensuring that everyone and everything is on schedule.
As a mom myself, I know that no one can testify to how busy mom life is better than an actual mom. I also know that, due to personal experience, that many moms skip out on their me-time and don’t indulge in things like self-care or skincare routines.
And like most moms, they have a perfectly good reason, there’s just no time!
But what if I told you that all you need is no more than 5 minutes?
At Silk Skin Co., one of our core goals is to curate the ultimate at-home self-care experience for moms and women who live busy lives. Or women who simply want to give themselves some amazing TLC. So, in this blog post, we’ll be offering you the ultimate 3-step skincare routine to give you the most beautiful glow with just 5 minutes a day!
The Day-time Version.
All you need is a quick 5 minutes before your kids wake up or after they’ve headed out to school:
Step 1: Cleanse.
Duration: 2 minutes
Every effective routine starts with clean skin. The best way to cleanse your face in the morning is with an everyday cleanser that removes all dirt, oil, and impurities that may have sprung up to the surface overnight.
The Silk Glow Gentle Cleansing Foam is the perfect daytime cleanser—ideal for all skin types, especially sensitive skin. It creates a soft, airy lather that lifts away surface impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils. This leaves your skin feeling clean, refreshed, and hydrated.
Get a thorough, gentle cleanse by combining the cleansing foam with the Silk Glow Sonic Cleansing Brush. For best results, wash with lukewarm water to open up your pores, and rinse with cold water to close them up. Pat your skin clean and dry with our Ultra Soft & Absorbent Face Towel, then proceed to step 2.
Step 2: Moisturize.
Duration: 2 minutes
This step is all about nourishing your skin. And for this, your best friends are the Silk Glow Hydrating Facial Oil, followed by the Silk Glow Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Cream.
Our facial oil is a powerful blend of jojoba, avocado, and almond oil that will give you the most head-turning, radiant complexion. Gently massage both products onto your face and neck, allowing your skin to absorb their hydrating and rejuvenating properties fully.
Hyaluronic acid—the core ingredient in our moisturizer—is a powerful humectant that will help your skin retain a remarkable amount of moisture for a soft and supple glow.
Step 3: Sun Protection.
Duration: 1 minute
The final step is protecting your skin with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (minimum of SPF30). Applying sunscreen every day is very important to protect your skin from harmful ultraviolet rays, sun damage, premature aging, and the risk of skin cancer. Keep an eye out for a Silk Glow SPF soon!
The Night-time Version.
After tucking your kids in for the night and tidying up all your tasks, here’s a quick routine (10 minutes), before you hit the sheets yourself:
Step 1: Cleanse.
Duration: 2 minutes
Again, you need to start with clean skin. The Silk Glow Aloe Clarifying Gel is the best nighttime cleanser as it carries out a more heavy-duty cleanse—needed after your long and busy days. The aloe component of this product also offers excellent soothing and anti-inflammatory properties—perfect for the evenings when you need to unwind.
(Follow the same pattern as your daytime cleanse for best results)
Step 2: Treat.
Duration: 6 minutes
A repeat of the morning routine, this step is all about nourishing your skin after the harsh beating of the long day. So we are going back in with the Silk Glow Hydrating Facial Oil.
Pair the oil with our Silk Glow Facial Massager for enhanced skin rejuvenation. This LED light therapy facial sculpting and facial contouring device allows you to choose from its three light settings, each of which caters to different skin needs.
Each session is only 4-5 minutes, for best results, but honestly we don’t blame you if you go a bit longer! If just FEELS SO GOOD!!
Step 3: Moisturize.
Duration: 2 minute
Nighttime is the best time to incorporate potent skin treatments like serums into your routine. As the goal is to achieve brighter, youthful skin, Vitamin C is an excellent go-to. The Silk Glow Vitamin C Serum provides the perfect treatment to enhance skin radiance, cancel out any hyperpigmentation and dark spots, and even out your skin tone.
Our Vitamin C Serum also contains Sea-Buckthorn which helps to protect and promote youthful skin, Ferulic Acid which promotes skin firmness, and Hyaluronic Acid which boosts skin moisture levels. Talk about a skincare powerhouse!
Finally, seal in all the goodness from your routine with the Silk Glow Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Cream. This ensures that your skin stays supple and rejuvenated all night and that you wake up with a refreshed, glowing complexion!
*Pro Tip Reminder: Wait a minute in-between application of each product for best results
Ding ding ding!
And there you have it—an ultimate routine that’s tested, approved, and trusted!
3 steps in the morning and night are all you really need. But remember: consistency is the key to seeing lasting results.
