A Mother's Wisdom on Skin Care

Skin Care

May 6

Growing up, I watched my mom balance a full plate — raising two daughters, working a full-time job, and pursuing her PhD in Math & Science at night. Amidst all that, she was always smiling and finding time to take good care of her skin.

She would never go to bed with makeup on, she never skipped sunscreen & always used her Vitamin C serum.

To me, that was as normal as seeing her brushing her teeth!

Meanwhile, I was all about surfing and soaking up the sun. Ohhhh, I wish I had listened to my mommy!

My mom also made sure we were aware of our overall health, like healthy eating and exercise.

I remember some of the advice my mom always tried to teach us:

“Girls, beware of too much sun because it makes your skin leathery.”
“Girls, massage your skin upwards, massage and exercise your boobs too - gravity’s unforgiving!”

But we were two stubborn girls and we did not listen. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Other day I asked my mom to define beauty and her answer was simple but profound:

“Beauty is beyond physical characteristics. My definition of beauty includes deeper values. Your beauty comes from within. Being healthy, being grateful, loving life & respecting others.”

My mom has a beautiful aura! Her beauty comes from living true to who she is. She has a self-assured grace that emanates from the inside out.

Skincare and self love can bring moms and daughters together in a special way. It can be used as a bridge for bonding.

My mom was thrilled when I decided to change careers to become an Esthetician!

“Now you will understand how all those years of my self-care paid back”, she said

She’s almost 81, her skin is still glowing, much more than mine🤨.

I still learn from her every day, and I’m blessed to be able to pamper her with skin care as much as she wishes. 🥰

Mothers, daughters, and grandmothers should discuss and share good skincare. The wisdom passed down across generations can be incredibly valuable.

The key is to listen, share, and encourage each other — because we all deserve a little pampering!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the fantastic moms out there!
