Five-Minute Skincare and Make-Up Routine for Midlife

Hello Pretty Ladies,

With summer right around the corner, hotter days and more time outside. I thought I would share my five-minute skincare and makeup routine for Midlife. Perfect to  get ready and out the door in 5 minutes, looking fresh and glowing with these

Skincare Routine

Glycolic Acid Peel Pads with Blue Agave

Colleen Rothschild Pads: A daily spa-strength treatment formulated to help dissolve skin-clogging dirt, debris, and sebum. Skin’s natural renewal process is enhanced with 10% Glycolic and Lactic Acids. Blend, targeting fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and imperfections to reveal a fresher, brighter, more even complexion.

The innovative fusion of Blue Agave, Sea Water, and Comfrey Extracts helps soothe and calm, while hyaluronic acid and Niacinamide hydrate and protect your skin’s moisture barrier.

ELEMIS: PRO—COLLAGEN NIGHT CREAM This rich, nourishing night cream reveals a firmer-looking, radiant complexion while delivering intense moisture. It is a 5-star-rated Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream.

FIRMS, SMOOTHES, REPLENISHES. I have super dry skin after my hysterectomy, and on top of that, I live in Utah. So on days I do a 5-minute makeup routine and use a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen, I use this night cream for an extra dewy, moisturized look.

 

Colleen Rothschild: Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream nourishes, brightens, and corrects. It introduces a brighter, more youthful appearance to your eyes. The Cream addresses common concerns of tired and dull eyes, such as under-eye darkness, fine lines, dryness, and puffiness. This cream works to revitalize the delicate under-eye area. Hyaluronic acid helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Caffeine targets puffiness and water retention. Pearlized pigments provide an instant brightening effect,
