5-Minute Skincare Routines For AM & PM

Becky Williamslifestyle, Recommendations, Safer Skincare & Beauty

Skincare is as personal as it gets.  We all have a unique skin type, concerns, time available, and preferences.  We spend a lifetime trying product after product, and our skin keeps changing with the seasons and years in the meantime.  It’s not easy figuring out a skincare routine, and there’s a lot of competition for our beauty product dollars.

 

Today I’m sharing 5-minute Beautycounter skincare routines for AM and PM.  We’re all super busy, right?  Kids are in their last few weeks of the school year, warmer weather means more yardwork, life is life-ing.  Who’s got time for a 10-step routine???

    Although I looove beauty products and typically have a more involved skincare routine than some, I’m all about the minimum effective dose, whether it’s skincare or exercise.  More isn’t always better, and not everyone has the time or inclination to devote to their skin.  And that’s okay!  I love that.  My goal with this post is to help you figure out what you need for your skin type and concerns and help you come up with a minimal, effective routine that you can stick with long-term.

    If you have any questions or have skincare needs beyond these options, don’t hesitate to reach out!  I’m happy to help, and I will make sure you get the biggest bang for your beauty budget, even if it’s not a Beautycounter product.  Message me on Facebook or Instagram or email me at becky @ bkinetic. com with your skin type, concerns, and what you’re looking for, and I’ll get back to you asap, no obligation to purchase anything from me.
