Busy mothers often put themselves last. At day’s end, feelings of exhaustion or depression may creep in due to being overwhelmed with the demands of work and family. Making time for self-care can reduce stress and help keep a positive attitude, along with getting enough sleep, having a good friend or partner to talk to, eating a healthy diet and setting aside quiet time for introspection or spiritual reflection.

“When you feel relaxed, healthy and rested, those around you will feel the good vibes. Self-care helps you stay calm, organized and better able to cope with life’s expected and unexpected events. When you are calm and in control, your family knows they are in good hands and can relax,” says Karen Watson, TrūAura Beauty consultant.

Watson recommends incorporating a beauty routine into the start and end of each day as a way to wind down and take care of yourself. “After a bath, moisturize your skin with TrūAura’s Replenishing Body Lotion. Made with probiotics, essential oils and plant derivatives, it nourishes and hydrates skin. Skin around the eyes is more sensitive and deserves a special formulation. Our Advanced Repair Eye Treatment includes probiotics, natural butters and oils and extracts from the water lily that help reduce inflammation and pigmentation. Spritz with a hydrating mist to refresh yourself throughout the day. Both of these products are included in our Healthy Skin Bundle, which is a fantastic place to begin self-care and experience clinically proven TrūAura products.”
