For years, my skin looked great and I never put much thought into taking great care of the skin on my body. Now that I’m in my late twenties, I have started to notice some things about the skin on my body, not just my face. Things such as wrinkles, creases, rough patches, some aging sun spots. Also, I looking back on photos from years back (thanks Facebook memories), I also notice a difference in how glowy and well-rested I looked. Being a new mom takes a toll on your body and it even gives you less time to take care of yourself and do extra pampering to your skin. I was slacking for a while after Kennedy was born and kept making up excuses at night about not doing necessary things for my skin at night. Mostly the excuse I told myself was I’m too tired and just need to get some sleep in case she wakes up soon. Also I felt guilty (and still sometimes do) about doing things for myself and wasting time getting ready to look good. But now that Kennedy is older, I have realized how great it feels to take care of myself and not feel guilty about it. I feel like the more time I spend doing things such as having 10 minutes of quiet time in the morning to meditate and just have me time, spending time pampering myself and applying my skin products, and just learning to do things without the guilt or excuses. I want to share with you some skincare products I have been using lately that I absolutely love and know you mamas will too!

 But the past few months, I have been putting in the extra effort by adding some products into my skincare routine to prevent all my skin from looking wrinkled and aged. People ask all the time if I am Kennedy’s mom because they think I look too young to even be a mom! I am 28 years old, but some people comment how I look like I’m in my early twenties or younger! 

First thing I do when I get out of the shower and before bed, is I apply lotion all over my body- head to toe. During the day, I also wear a sunscreen on my neck, chest, hands, and arms everyday. I also drink LOTS of water all day long which has helped keep my skin looking younger and not get as many dehydration lines. I want to share all five tings I do and some tips to prevent again now while you can!

5 TIPS TO PREVENT AGING NOW!

1. Find a GREAT moisturizer and use it morning and night! Having a set skincare routine you do everyday will help prevent aging!! My mom is in her mid 60’s and has always had a skincare routine and consistently moisturized her skin and body. She gets told all the time she looks like she is in her 30s or 40s!

2. Use sunscreen every single day starting as young as you can! I started using sunscreen everyday since middle school. It is still a habit I do, even if it’s cloudy outside.

3.Drink LOTS of water! It will keep your skin plump and looking glowy!

4. Take care of your body and the skin on it. Sometimes we focus so much on our face, we forget the skin all over our body ages as well. Remember to lotion it everyday, use a high quality soap that won’t dry it out, and use a shower oil to keep it soft and supple.

5. Try not to eat lots of junk food, avoid smoking and drinking. The things we put in our bodies are just as important as what we put on it! Those 3 things will age you super fast!

The Immortelle Precious Cream is a creamy moisturizer that offers triple action benefits to visibly minimize the appearance of wrinkles and to help restore firmness to the skin. The skin on my face and neck is smoother, and the fine lines I was starting to notice have significantly diminished. I think my skin was craving moisture and something that wasn’t oily or too heavy. My skin is VERY sensitive and easily prone to breakouts. But I haven’t had any issues or irritation since using this! It has helped reduce the inflammation in my t-zone area, which was always pink and inflamed before. My skin feels so glowy and dewy when I wake up in the morning, and I look more refreshed and well-rested. Even some nights lately, I haven’t been getting a lot of sleep. But my skin still has never looked better. If you are looking for that perfect, “holy grail” moisturizer that truly works without causing breakouts, then the Immortelle Precious Cream is the one! I think keeping your skin constantly moisturized is the key to helping diminish the first signs of aging. Also, you must start it while you’re young and invest in quality products that actually work! I truly believe it is the key to aging gracefully.

I want to share with you three products I’ve incorporated into my skincare routine that have made such a difference! The newest addition to my product lineup is the Shea Body Shower Oil. I have also started using the Shea Body Shower Oil when I take a shower or bath. The oil is enriched with Shea Oil, and I love how it gently cleanses and helps nourish my dry skin. Shea Body Shower Oil gently cleanses and helps nourish my dry, sensitive skin. Its rich texture leaves a nourishing, protective film, which helps soften dry skin. My skin feels so soft and I don’t leave the shower with that tightness I often got with other body washes. I use the shower oil mostly when I have self-tanner on because I can wash my body but it doesn’t dry out my skin. I notice my tan has been lasting longer with using the oil in the shower and moisturizing right afterwards.

In addition to using the Shea Body Shower Oil, I have been using the Shea Butter Soap. It first smells amazing and I just want to keep smelling it when I’m in the shower. Verbena has a sweet, floral, lemony scent to it which is heavenly. My husband also used it once and loved how his skin felt and smelled. It just makes my skin feel so luxurious and amazing. I truly do look forward to my showers now because of the L’Occitane products I get to use! They are not only pretty and smell wonderful, they are quality products that are designed to work and change your skin for the better!
