I´ve been taking care of my skin, both inside and out, from the age of 12 or 13. That´s a lot of years, and I´m glad I made it a habit early on. Now, I´m trying to instill the concept of skincare and self care to my teen and tween daughters because over time it does make a difference. It´s really all about making it a routine just like brushing your teeth.
Once you make it a habit, you won´t imagine not pampering your skin.Of course, self-care can’t just be skin-deep. In order to look and feel your best, you need to incorporate other ways to cleanse your body, your mind and your emotions. Here are some of the things I do on a daily basis to make sure I keep that inner and outer glow going:
- Every morning and evening, I write down three things I’m grateful for. It could be anything, from sunny weather to being alive one more day.
- Every day I go for a walk or a run with my dog. Whether it’s 20 minutes or 1 hour, walking or running helps me unwind and destress.
- Every evening before I go to bed I stretch for 5 minutes. It may not sound like much, but consistency is key.
- During the day I set an alarm every hour while I’m working, to remind myself to drink water to cleanse my body, and to walk around and stretch for a few minutes.
- While I’m working at my laptop, I listen to classical music or Tibetan chants. They help me focus and stay calm.
- Fruits, but especially veggies, are a big part of my daily diet.
- At night I cuddle with my kids even though they are teens and tweens. My 11-year-old and I read inspirational quotes and tell each other what we think they mean.
- Every day while I’m driving or walking I listen to inspirational audio-books. They help me stay on track.
- Each morning I follow a skin-care regimen that involves cleansing, exfoliating and applying serum, eye cream and day lotion with SPF. At night I do it all over but use night-cream.

I’m taking the 28-Day Face Cleanse & invite you to do it with me
I have my skincare routine down pat, and as an adventurous and nature-loving woman, I´m excited for the opportunity to embark on the 28-Day Face Cleanse using Burt´s Bee´s Renewal Face Care. Renewal Face Care is clinically shown to smoothe skin, improve firmness and reduce the appearance of wrinkles in as few as 4 weeks. I’m looking forward to using this natural skin-care line from Burt’s Bee’s to help unveil radiant skin.
For 28 days I will be using the following products in my morning and night skincare routine:
- Renewal Refining Cleanser
- Renewal Intensive Firming Serum
- Renewal Smoothing Eye Cream
- Renewal Firming Day Lotion with SPF30
- Renewal Firming Night Cream
I will check midpoint through the cleanse on social media using the hashtag #28DayFaceCleanse to share how I´m doing, and then at the end of the month I will show the results of the 28-Day Face Cleanse. Why 28 days? Every 28 days, your skin renews itself. Renewal Face Care works in harmony with your skin’s 28 day cycle and is clinically shown to smooth skin, improve firmness and reduce the look of wrinkles in as few as 4 weeks, when all the products are used in combination.
If you would like to join me and get started on your own 28-DayFaceCleanse while being entered to win prizes such as Renewal Face Care products or even a trip for 2 to Los Angeles to spend a day of renewal with celebrity nutritionist Kimberly Snyder, sign up and then share your progress on social media using the hashtag #28DayFaceCleanse.
