Becoming Glowy: My Clean Skincare Routine as a Conscious Entrepreneur
As an entrepreneur, your days are a whirlwind of meetings, decision-making, and creative breakthroughs. Amidst the dynamic world of business, it's crucial to set aside time for self-care that nourishes your mind and body. One way I've found balance is through a clean skincare routine that not only pampers my skin but also empowers me to face each day with confidence. Do yo want to learn more about my go-to skincare products and how they contribute to my radiant journey as an entrepreneur? Ok, friend, let’s get into it.
I’m someone who tends to use all of my products before I buy more. Doing so, helps me to keep my bathroom cabinet’s decluttered and it also helps me to feel like I’m minimising waste. Over the years, I’ve fallen in love with a few skincare lines and I want to tell y’all a little bit about the line that I’m using currently.
The Essentials: Drunk Elephant's Clean Skincare Line
At the heart of my routine are Drunk Elephant's carefully curated products that align with my commitment to clean, effective skincare. As a Brand Philosopher— aka your Conscious Business Coach & Consultant annnnnnd Social Impact Bestie— I have to say that I really enjoy reading Drunk Elephant’s Philosophy. Check it out, and let me know what you think about their commitment to biocompatibility and avoiding the Suspicious 7, ie the 6 ingredients that they believe are at the root of most skincare issues.
To be frank, I love the pop of color that their distinct brand packaging brings to my bathroom counter and life. So, I’m excited to tell you a bit about the products that form the foundation of my daily ritual. Let’s dive in:
1. Beste No 9 Jelly Cleanser: A Fresh Start Every Morning
My mornings kick off with a refreshing cleanse using Drunk Elephant's Beste No 9 Jelly Cleanser. This gentle yet effective formula ensures my skin starts the day fresh and ready to take on new challenges. The jelly-like texture gently removes impurities without stripping my skin's natural moisture, setting the tone for the nourishing steps to follow. I use this cleanser in the evening as well, and I love the way that it removes any residual makeup from my face. I’ve found that some of my other “clean” cleansers didn’t get all of my makeup off my skin at the end of the day. So, the Best No 9 Jelly Cleanser stole my heart when it cleaned my skin without stripping and drying out my face.
2. C Firma Fresh Day Serum: A Burst of Radiance
To infuse my skin with a burst of radiance, I turn to the C Firma Fresh Day Serum. They say that it’s packed with potent vitamin C and other antioxidants, this serum protects my skin from environmental stressors while promoting a healthy glow. It's like a power boost for both my skin and my confidence. As an entrepreneur, you know that I need my confidence.
3. Lala Retro Whipped Cream: Nourishment and Hydration
Entrepreneurship can be demanding, and so can the environment. That's where Lala Retro Whipped Cream comes in. This rich yet lightweight moisturizer is like a tall glass of water for my skin, quenching its thirst and providing the essential hydration it needs to stay plump and radiant all day long.
A Skincare Ritual as Unique as You
While these products have become my trusted companions, your skincare journey is a personal one. The act of taking care of your skin is an opportunity to center yourself and practice self-care. It's a moment of mindfulness that allows you to connect with your body and reflect on your day, accomplishments included.
Remember, being an entrepreneur doesn't mean sacrificing self-care. In fact, investing in yourself, including your skin, can enhance your overall well-being. Whether you're in the boardroom or brainstorming ideas, your skin deserves the same level of attention you give to your business.
Your Path to Glowing Success
As you navigate the exciting and demanding world of entrepreneurship, don't forget to indulge in the power of self-care. A clean skincare routine, tailored to your unique needs, can be a potent source of nourishment for both your skin and your soul. By embracing products that make you feel like a million bucks, you're not just caring for your skin—you're nurturing your glow, inside and out.
