Back-to-School Skincare for Busy Moms

As a busy mom, I understand the importance of a simple yet effective skincare routine. We’re swamped. We’re stressed. And sometimes we only have a few minutes to spare.

Part of my teaching method has always been — just put it on your face. Do something, even imperfectly. Here at goPure, I always talk about the “correct” way to do your skincare. But, that’s subjective. We can’t lose sight that what’s ideal isn’t always real, right?

We can still achieve great results with simple, quick routines this back-to-school season and beyond! 

Skincare Routine for Busy Moms 

1. Cleanse

Don’t skimp on morning cleansing! Makeup wipes are great, but they don’t replace your cleanser. Your skin is going to face a lot of environmental stressors during the day, and we want to give it a fresh start. We also want to remove any of the active ingredients we had on the skin from the night before.

2. Tone

Depending on your skin type and how much time you have, toner can be optional. It’s a fast and easy step to balance the skin and boost the look of hydration before the rest of your routine. Our goPure formula contains aloe, which is very soothing. It is such a quick step and so it is easy to include — even on the busiest mornings.

3. Vitamins + Antioxidants

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and it works to improve the look of dark spots, and it can also improve the look of lines and wrinkles.

Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is a wonderful version of water-soluble vitamin C for all skin types and concerns because it is still a potent antioxidant while being effective, gentle, and very stable.

Superox-C, AKA, the goPure botanical superstar Kakadu plum extract, is the richest natural source of Vitamin C. It is an extremely potent natural antioxidant, and is very tolerable and effective when applied topically. One thing that makes it unique is that it is both oil-loving and water-loving, so this improves absorption potential and works in multiple ways to deliver results. It improves the look of skin radiance and boosts the look of luminosity!

4. Serums

If I have time, I pop on my Niacinamide Booster Serum. I do generally use this nightly, so if I am really short, on time I know it won’t be the end of the world if I skip it. However, I love the way this works under makeup to balance the look of oil and shine, minimize the appearance of redness, and visibly reduce the look of large pores.

The Dramatically Dewy Serum is another variation to add to the routine if you have time. We know it contains 3 weights of hyaluronic acid to boost the look of skin hydration and visibly minimize lines and wrinkles. Did you know it also contains vitamin E? Vitamin E is ideal to pair with the vitamin c and ferulic acid found in your Brighten and Even Serum

5. Eye Care

Listen to your skin and give it what else it might need. I definitely need eye care as a busy mom this time of year! The thin, delicate skin is one of the first areas to show the signs of aging. I like to revive the look of my tired eyes with the Advanced Repair Eye Cream. It’s designed to illuminate the look of dark, puffy under eyes and whisk away the appearance of lines and wrinkles.



6. Moisturize

The final steps in any skincare routine are moisturizer and SPF. These are essentials and should not be skipped. Replenish your skin with a moisturizer of your choice (avoiding the retinol moisturizer for daytime) — and don’t forget your Tighten & Lift Neck Cream and Glow Pure Tinted Mineral SPF! Remember, the SPF in our makeup is generally not enough protection for the day.

Shop All Moisturizers


Some days, you’ll lean into your full skincare routine. Other times, you’ll be lucky if you have a second to cleanse, moisturize, and apply SPF. And that’s OK! Consistency is key, so if you can find a quick and easy routine that works for you, that’s what matters.

Even though I’m not a busy Mom at my age, there’s alot of good advice there. I am a busy Senior & do volunteer work, but I do have time to do skin care & it’s a must for me. She does a wonderful job explaining skin care!
