A lot of clients have expressed concern about the time involved in a full skin care routine. I completely understand this and thought lets find some helpful hints.

Firstly your skincare routine is time for you to massage fabulous products into your skin and spend those few moments on yourself. If you can find the time to do that then it’s great and you will enjoy the routine and I am a real believer in massage, massage increases the blood flow bringing fresh nutrients to the area massaged and relaxing the muscles.

But I am also realistic and I know that everyone is busy these days, so let’s look at how to help. If it’s your morning routine you struggle with then Tropic Cleansers are super fast - a small amount in the palm of your hand, massage over the face and use the bamboo cloth to remove or you can even do this in the shower when you can get away without even using the face cloth – especially with the hydrating cleanser. Again using the cloth will give a better cleanse but this is the no time day. Morning mist spray is super quick toning essence  and then apply your moisturiser. Honestly try this it really will take a very short time. If you like to use a serum then Tropic serums can be added to the moisturiser so one simple application. Ideally I would like you to apply the serum individually and pat into the skin but this routine is for the days you’re in a hurry.

At the end of the day when all your jobs are finished and you realise that you haven’t done your evening skincare routine I know your heart can sink. Firstly, it doesn’t have to be the last job of the day - why not do it when you get in and are changing out of your day clothes? just put dinner on and have a few precious moments? everyone else is watching a programme you are not keen on? or an advertising break?. 

I do feel the evening routine is the one your skin can really benefit from as it has the whole night to absorb the products you have put on. My advice here is try to make the evening routine fit in to a time that suits you. You could make it really special with a nice cup of tea - or glass of wine!! but if no time then make sure you remove make up and any grime from the day , quick toning essence and a night cream. 

I hope this helps, ideally I would love you to have that time for yourself and your skin but on the days you don’t then I hope these tips give you ideas on how to maintain your routine.
