Busy Girl Secrets: How to Get #LifeProofSkin
Over the past 8 days, Vichy Idéalia has helped me live my life to the fullest as part of a sponsored post for SocialStars #LifeProofSkin
I’m your typical twenty-something woman. My days are a constant battle to meet deadlines, attend as many events as possible, network my little heart out, and be the best wife/daughter/sister/friend I can be. That means most of my time is spent crossing things off my to-do list instead of getting 8 hours of sleep each night. All week long I dream about naps and luxurious lazy mornings, but lately I haven’t had time to sleep- let alone sleep in! Even though I’m still young, my skin doesn’t respond well to lack of sleep. My undereye circles are constantly out of control, and my tired skin is constantly breaking out. Thankfully, my secret weapon allows me to life my life to the fullest without looking like a tired mess.
Say hello to my new best friend: Vichy Idéalia. This wonder duo and I have become inseparable over the past eight days, and my skin has loved every single second of our friendship. The Vichy Idéalia Life Serum helps to refine your pores, illuminate your skin tone, and moisturize your complexion to keep your skin looking young and bright no matter how late your nights may be. The Vichy Idéalia Eye Cream helps to reduce dark circles and fine lines while leaving a beautiful illuminated finish. After applying these two products every morning and night for the past eight days, I’ve noticed that my skin is calm, moisturized (but not greasy), and fresh-looking no matter how little sleep I’ve had in the past few days. If you’re a busy girl like me, you’ll want to add these two miracle workers to your shopping bag ASAP.
Now that I don’t have to worry about my skin each morning, I can live life to the fullest without thinking about how my face will react. I do still have to bribe myself to get out of bed each morning, so I have a few treats hidden in my fridge for especially bad mornings. Knowing that I can roll out of bed to fresh flowers, pretty fruit tartes, and fancy lemonade always seems to perk me up in the morning.
While I’m enjoying my breakfast, it’s time to plan the day. This week, my life is revolving around packing for our big move and finishing up a few business deadlines. I always schedule in mini-breaks throughout the day to keep myself sane! Whether it’s a mini manicure or a dinner date with my husband, knowing that I have a few fun things planned always helps me push through boring business stuff!
The last part of my morning routine is always applying makeup, but thanks to my beloved Vichy Idéalia serum and eye cream, it’s been drastically reduced over the past week. My skin has stayed clear despite changes in the weather, my sleep schedule, and natural hormonal shifts, so I’ve been saying bye-bye to extra concealer and hello to light and fresh makeup! I’ve had four people compliment me on my skin this week, so I will not be changing my skincare routine anytime soon! Vichy products help me to have lifeproof skin that works with my schedule, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for a new serum or eye cream to add to your daily routine, check out the Vichy Idéalia line. These products will help you smooth and moisturize your skin texture, while brightening your skin tone and providing a more youthful-looking complexion! You can also find Vichy Idéalia at your local Ulta store.

I’ve also learned that I absolutely must get dressed for the work day no matter when my first appointment starts. The longer I sit around in my pajamas, the less I’ll get done. Lately I’ve been obsessed with business basics in light neutrals like pale khaki and gray to transition from summer to fall. It’s hard not to act like a businesswoman when you’re dressed in a power ensemble and killer heels.
