Revitalize and Rejuvenate: Post-Summer Skin Care for Busy Moms

After a summer full of our beautiful San Diego sunshine, sand, and fun, your skin might feel a bit tired. As a single Mom, I know what it’s like to have to literally carve out the time to wash my face and fully remove any makeup or sunscreen and then apply serums. Making the time to apply my skincare when my daughter was younger, felt like a luxury. Here are some of my tips on how you can care for your skin, keeping it healthy and radiant despite being very busy.

Understanding Post-Summer Skin Needs

Extended exposure to sun can lead to dehydration, increased pigmentation, and the breakdown of collagen. In your 30’s and 40’s, it’s crucial to address these issues to prevent long-term damage. Starting with a thorough but gentle cleansing routine can help remove impurities and prepare your skin for rejuvenating products.

Targeted Treatments for Pigmentation

After the summer is over, I start using my active ingredients more consistently. The actives I use consistently starting in the fall are glycolic acid, retinol, retinoids and some acids as well.

Light to moderate peels are also very helpful to boost collagen and start breaking up the pigmentation. Light peels have no downtime, and you can have them bi-weekly. Moderate to deeper peels are monthly to every few months. I also like to add hydroquinone and non-hydroquinone brighteners to my skin regimen. A light microneedling with some skin brightening ingredients also works well with minimal to no downtime.

Minimal Effort, Maximum Results

As a busy mom, your time is precious. Opt for multi-functional skincare products that provide several benefits at once. Products with antioxidants, SPF, and moisturizers combined can save time and still provide excellent skin care. Also, consider treatments that require minimal downtime, like gentle peels or hydrating facials, which can be done during a school run.

At Mahtab Aesthetics we can also quickly add a chemical peel to your botox appointment.

Caring for your skin after the summer doesn’t have to be time-consuming or complicated. With the right strategies, you can effectively rejuvenate your skin, keeping it as vibrant as you are. Investing in your skin is a form of self-care that pays off, making you feel refreshed and ready to tackle anything your busy life throws your way.
