There are several reasons why you could get to that point where you decide to take on an adult themed beauty routine. If you’re lucky, it would just be because you think that’s the best step to take in that moment. If you needed a more realistic push, like fine lines and wrinkles appearing on your face, that’s obviously going to be tougher. Whichever way, adultifying your beauty routine doesn’t mean letting go of your youth and becoming boring. It’s just a way to improve the steps you take in taking care of your body.

Here are five ways you can get the best out of an adultified routine:

8 hours sleep daily: you might think you’re super human because you binge watch you favorite TV shows till 3am and no one even notices. We have news for you, it’s not always going to be like that. You skin cells need you to sleep properly for skin regeneration and rejuvenation to take place. Complete all your tasks on time so you can have a good night’s rest.

Switch to silk pillowcases: even though you don’t notice it, cotton pillowcases are coarse on the skin and rub away moisture from the skin and hair. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase is like an 8 hour spa treatment for both your skin and hair.

Keep your hair healthy: you have to start paying attention to what you put in your hair. Coloring your hair is awesome (remember you still have your youth) but whatever you do should not affect the health of your hair in any way. You need to start investing in quality hair care products.

Invest in good makeup brushes: since we’re planning to get more classy and refined, it is only natural that the same happens with our makeup. Learn how to use makeup brushes instead of your fingers, you makeup would look professionally applied when you make this switch.

Wear subtle contour: dark shades would age you, so keep your contour minimal. The best way to do this is to go into the hollows of your cheekbones lightly with a bronzer. Just sweep it there with your brush and it would naturally fall into place.

Adultifying doesn’t have to mean the same thing as being an adult, age is just a thing of the mind. However, your body won’t have the same convictions which is why it needs the extra special care.
