Let’s face it, mom’s are rock stars! They pour out their hearts for their families and expect nothing in return. Once a year we have the privilege to put life on pause and recognize how amazing they truly are. This year is particularly special all around the world. With what our world has faced, they have quickly been thrust into roles they never thought they would be needing to fill. With that added stress, many of our beautiful moms are experiencing issues with their skin and could use a little pick-me-up. What better way to show how much your mom means to you than with a product to help keep her radiant glow each and every day. I have put together my top 3 SkinCeuticals products specifically for a variety of skin conditions that are fairly common and make perfect Mother’s Day gifts!
A.G.E. Eye Complex for Dark Circles:
Tired eyes? The skin around the eyes is the thinnest on our bodies and needs to be taken care of properly! This anti-wrinkle eye cream fights the appearance of crow’s feet, dark circles, and puffiness. A.G.E. Eye Complex improves tired-looking eyes and is formulated with proxylane, blueberry extract, optical diffusers (to diffuse light), and a complex of synergistic peptides. It’s a great product for those moms who have a normal-dry skin type and also are concerned about anti-aging. This anti-wrinkle eye cream can be applied under the eyes and around the brow area twice daily, both AM and PM after applying your moisturizer.
CE Ferulic or Phloretin CF Antioxidant:
Everyone is an antioxidant patient! Including moms! These two vitamin C serums deliver advanced environmental protection and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, loss of firmness, and brightens skin’s complexion. A must-have for those moms who are looking for a glow! Depending on which skin type your mother has will determine which antioxidant is right for her. Those who have more of an oily/ acne-prone skin type Phloretin CF would be a great fit and those who have more of a dry/matured skin type CE Ferulic will be a better choice. However, you really can’t go wrong with either! Both of these products are only applied in the morning as your base for the day after cleansing to help protect your skin from both UVA/UVB damage. After the surface of the skin is cleansed, these vitamin C’s are used by applying 3-5 drops total to the face/neck/chest/back of hands and can be followed by a moisturizer/ SPF.
Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50:
The single most important product mom can use! This is a perfect sunscreen that does not clog pores and is super easy to apply (after every 90mins)! Physical Fusion is a zinc oxide SPF made for the face which contains 100% mineral filters providing a broad spectrum of UVA/UVB protection while promoting natural radiance. This SPF is ideal for all skin types and is water-resistant for up to 40mins for those moms who are active, especially with summer ahead. This product comes in both a tinted and non-tinted formula! What I love most about this sunscreen is the tinted version is a universal tint so it adapts to all skin colors to help boost your mother’s radiance for a more even, luminous complexion!
There are many things we can do to show our love for our moms and to be honest none of them really measure up to what they have already done for us. It’s times like these when were can truly appreciate them and give back a small portion of what they have so generously given to us. Armed with any of these 3 products or any of the products that I offer at Skin Care By Calie, they can and will feel beautiful and what more can you ask for!
On a more personal note, I wanted to thank all the moms out there for the countless hours spent giving. Giving of their love, of their time, their energy, their support both emotionally and physically, and everything you do that goes unnoticed. We often take what you do for granted and without you, there would be a GIANT hole in our hearts and lives. You all mean the world to each and every one of us and we just want to say thank you!
