6 Simple Ways Busy Moms Can Refresh Their Skin (Even With No Time)

I am Soooooooo busy — like, really.๐Ÿ’จ

Some days it feels like all I do is clean, cook, keep up with schoolwork (yep, I’m a middle-aged woman back in college), take care of my spiritual needs, and oh yeah — I’m a wife too. Blah blah blah — the list just never ends.

Sometimes I look up and realize I haven’t carved out a single moment for myself. And the truth is, if you don’t make time for yourself, it won’t happen on its own.

After nine years of being a mom, going through postpartum, being a stay-at-home and homeschooling mom (one of mine is in school now), I’ve learned something the hard way:

If you neglect yourself long enough, one day you’ll look in the mirror and barely recognize the person staring back.

When you don’t pour into yourself — even just a little each day — it shows.It shows in your face, your attitude, your weight, your style, your hair, and even your nails.๐Ÿ’…

I know you’re tired. I am too.But that’s exactly why I created B.R.I. Naturally. I created this platform to remind you that you are:

B – Beautiful
R – Resilient
I – Innovative

And you deserve to feel like it — Naturally just by being you.

You don’t need an hour at the spa. You don’t have to change everything all at once. 

Just a few intentional minutes a day can make a huge difference.

Here are 6 simple ways I keep my skin fresh — even with barely any time.




๐Ÿ’ฆTip 1: 5-Minute Morning Face Routine

In just five minutes, you can do a lot. Trust me! That first moment of care in the morning really sets the tone for your day.

Here’s what I do:

  1. Cleanse – Use any gentle face wash you’re comfortable with.

  2. Toner – This is your second cleanse. It helps unclog pores and fights breakouts.

  3. Serum – Light and targeted for your skin’s needs.

  4. Eye Cream – Yes, girl. At 35, I’ve learned this step is not optional.

  5. Moisturizer or Another Serum – Choose based on how your skin feels and what products you’re using. 

  6. Gua Sha or Facial Roller with The Chill Kit  – Helps smooth, lift, and absorb products.

  7. Sunscreen – Your skin's daily shield.

Always be gentle, especially under the eyes. Use 5 light strokes per area with your Chill Kit tool — and breathe.

๐Ÿ’งTip 2: Girl, Drink That Water!

Before anything else in the morning — drink some water.Please. I beg you.

Yes, we love our coffee, but your body and your skin need water to wake up, flush out toxins, and shine.

Your skin (and your energy levels) will thank you.


๐Ÿ“ขTip 3: Use Tools That Work and Help You Chill

You don’t have time to get a facial every day… or every week… or even every month — let’s be real.

That’s why I created The Chill Kit — for moms and women like us who need to feel cared for in just a few minutes a day.

Over time, using tools like Gua Sha and Facial Rollers helps:

  • Improve circulation (aka more glow)

  • Reduce puffiness and facial tension

  • Sculpt and lift tired-looking areas

  • Boost absorption of your skincare

But results only come with consistency. Don’t stress perfection, just aim to show up for yourself daily 

(even if it’s only 5 minutes).

๐Ÿ’ƒTip 4: Make One Night a Week Your “Skincare Reset”

You can do this — and you must, for you.

Pick one night a week and set the mood:

  • Put on calming music or music that just makes you happy

  • Apply a mask (sheet or cream-style) using the Chill Kit’s applicator

  • Use your Gua Sha to massage your neck and shoulders. Release that tension, Momma.

This is your reset moment. Enjoy it.

๐Ÿ˜ดTip 5: Sleep Is Skin Repair

I know what you’re thinking — Girl, how?!

Believe me, I get it. I’ve been working on this since I became a mom. And it's hard, especially when your babies are little.

But you have to sleep.

Your skin regenerates overnight. Lack of sleep shows up as dullness, breakouts, and even early signs of aging.

Try:

  • Making a schedule that includes real rest

  • Avoiding that late-night scroll (I’m working on this too)

  • Setting up help — ask your partner, family, or a trusted friend to give you nap time

You need the energy to keep doing everything you're doing — so get that fuel, girl.

๐Ÿ’— Tip 6: Be Kind to Your Face — and Your Expectations

Above all else, remember this:

You are B – Beautiful, R – Resilient, I – Innovative

And you are that Naturally.

Don’t compare yourself to anyone else.

Don’t speak down to yourself.

Only uplift yourself.

Be kind to your face and your expectations.

Keep pouring into yourself every day with your self-care routine — in the morning and at night. And if 

you absolutely can’t do both? Just focus on your nighttime wind-down. It will help you sleep better, and that’s real care.

๐Ÿ˜ŽFinal Thoughts

You don’t need perfection.

You just need a moment, a moment to care, a moment to breathe, a moment to feel like you.

That’s what The Chill Kit was made for.

A simple way to take care of your skin and feel good while doing it — even with barely any time.

How I Balance Skincare, Tech, and Mom Life — Without Losing Myself

  Why This Balance Matters "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." This powerful quote hits differently now that I’m living a life full of new commitments. I’m a mom, a college student studying cybersecurity, and I’ve recently returned to my passion for blogging and sharing wellness through skincare. Most days, I’m still figuring it out. Back when I was only homeschooling my daughter, I had a lot more flexibility to get everything done. I thought I could keep that same pace while taking on business and school, but I quickly realized I couldn’t. That’s why planning, having systems, and leaning into grit have become non-negotiable. Thankfully, I have a mentor early in my tech journey who had me write out my daily activities in 30-minute increments for the week. It opened my eyes to how much time I was wasting on mindless tasks that didn’t move me forward. I started creating routines that actually helped me grow. The goal of this blog is to help you find your version of balanc...
