Darlings, getting up and getting myself ready for the day each morning is something I love to do. It puts a smile on my face, a pep in my step, and gives me a bit of electric energy to set my day off in the right direction. If you make your mind up each morning that you will face the day in style, then the day will come to you!

Something that I always do is make sure to take care of my skin. After all, it is our body’s largest organ! Over the years I’ve used a myriad of different products so I know I am confident in the products I am using now. I’d love to share some of my favorites with you!

Steps for a productive day

There are quite a few things you can do in the morning to start your day off on the right foot and allow it to flow all the way through. 

• Drink a glass of water after waking up to jumpstart your body.
• Eat a healthy breakfast
• Take some time for self-care! Try meditation, a quick workout, journaling, etc. 
• Prioritize your most important to-dos for the day

Skincare tips

A couple of blogs I’ve written previously that women over 50 should read are 6 Skincare Tips For Women Over 50 and How To Transition Your Skincare Routine For Winter. 

Here are a few more skincare tips for women over 50:

• Create a routine that you can stick to. Consistency is key!
• Wear sunscreen every single day.
• Don’t use hot water if your skin is dry. 
• Find an oil you love and use it!
• Exfoliate at least once a week.
• Find a good retinol cream. 
• Massage your face! I love a good facial.
• Don’t pick at your skin.
• Wear hats and long sleeves when you will be in the sun for long periods of time.
