🎒 Back-to-School Bliss: Self-Care & Skin Care Tips for Busy Mums

As the kids head back to school and routines shift into high gear, it’s easy for mums to put their own needs last. At Invogue skin and beauty , we believe that taking even a few minutes a day for yourself can have a powerful impact on your skin, stress levels, and overall well-being.

✨ 1. Mini Morning Skin Rituals for the School Run

You don’t need 10 steps—just 5 minutes.

  • Cleanse with a gentle, hydrating cleanser (especially after a short night of sleep).

  • Mist your face with a hydrating toner or rose water spray.

  • Serum + Moisturizer Duo – Choose a multitasking serum (vitamin C or hyaluronic acid) and follow with a light moisturizer with SPF.

  • Glow Tip: Use a tinted SPF for a fast, fresh look.

💆‍♀️ 2. Weekly Wind-Down Rituals to De-Stress

Reclaim your evenings with these relaxing rituals:

  • 10-Minute Home Facial: Cleanse, exfoliate (once or twice a week), apply a face mask (clay or sheet), and finish with your favourite serum and face oil.

  • Aromatherapy Bath: Add lavender or eucalyptus essential oils with Epsom salts to your bath—relax, unwind, and let the day go.

  • DIY Scalp Massage: Use a nourishing hair oil and massage your scalp in circular motions. Promotes relaxation and hair health.

Better yet—book yourself in for a monthly signature massage or facial at Invogue skin and beauty and let us take care of the rest.

🧘‍♀️ 3. Simple Daily Habits for Radiant Skin & Sanity

Start small, stay consistent.

  • Hydration habit: Fill a 1L bottle and sip throughout the morning.

  • Sleep prep: Keep screens off 30 mins before bed. Use a calming facial mist and soft lighting.

  • Mindful minutes: Even 2–5 minutes of deep breathing, journaling, or stretching makes a difference.

Tip: Keep a jade roller or gua sha tool on your bedside table. Use it while watching TV or right before bed for lymphatic drainage and puffiness relief.

💖 Final Thoughts

Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential. When you care for yourself, you’re more present, patient, and powerful in every role you play. We’re here to support your wellness journey at every step.
