As a business owner in the skin care industry, I have a lot on my plate. Maintaining your skin health is essential not only for your personal well-being, but also for showcasing your expertise to your clients. However, with a busy schedule, it can be challenging to maintain a healthy skin care regimen. Therefore, here are some tips that I use to help take care of my skin amidst a hectic routine.
1. Prioritize self-care: Just as I prioritize the needs of my business and clients, I prioritize my self-care. I schedule regular time for skin care routines and stick to it as much as possible.
2. Simplify your routine: Since I have limited time, my focus is on a simple yet effective skin care routine that includes products of the Le Mieux skin care line including:
a. The Gentle exfoliating cleanser is ideal for my combination skin. It nourishes my skin barrier and prepares me for the next steps.
b. I love using toners like the ISO-CELL Rose recovery. Since my skin is sensitive and can get stressed out during the day, this toner is great for me because I can use it throughout the day to realign my skin's nutrients and combat any dehydration that occurs. Additionally, since I live in Los Angeles, which has an arid climate, this toner helps to keep my skin hydrated.
c. I firmly believe that serums are the key to a good skin care routine. That's why I use RX Complex Serum. It is a multi-tasker that helps refine any texture or lines, fades out pigmentation and provides hydration and nourishment to my skin.
d. For moisturizer I mix the O2 calming gel containing hyaluronic, goldenseal, green tea, and cucumber extracts with the sheer hydration lotion. Using both products provides my skin with hydration and nourishment, leaving it feeling strong, balanced and looking healthy.
e. For sun protection, I use Vita-C translucent sunscreen.

3. Stay hydrated: I drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep my skin hydrated from within. Hydration plays a crucial role in maintaining my skin health.
4. Healthy diet: To support my overall skin health, I incorporate foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals into my diet. Foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and healthy fats can help nourish your skin from the inside out.
5. Get enough sleep: Adequate sleep is essential for skin regeneration and repair. I aim for six to seven hours of quality sleep each night to wake up with refreshed and rejuvenated skin.
6. Manage stress: Chronic stress can negatively impact your skin. I practice stress-management techniques such as deep breathing, meditation or exercise to control stress levels.
7. Regular skin care treatments: I treat myself to regular skin care treatments such as facials or massages to pamper my skin and mind. This can be a great way to unwind and rejuvenate after a busy day or week.
Remember, taking care of yourself is as important as taking care of your business and clients. By incorporating these tips into my routine, I maintain healthy skin while managing my busy schedule effectively.
