As moms, I think we often forget the importance of self-love and taking care of one’s self. I practice self-love just by taking care of myself both mentally and physically. Today I want to share how I practice self-love with my daily mom beauty routine.

Over the last few years, I have made it a point to make my skincare routine a priority in my life.  I used to be the girl who thought a quick makeup wipe before bed was all you needed, but as I got older I realized just how important a good skincare routine can be.  I now look forward to my skincare routine every day.  It’s a form of self-care for me and it only takes a few minutes out of my day.
