I am a beauty-holic. Anyone who knows me is aware that I'm a little over the top when it comes to cosmetics. In fact, even in high school, I was crazy about beauty. I once had a party where we played a game that asked, "Who do you think spent the most time getting ready for this get-together?", and EVERYONE answered with my name! I can't help it; I just love to play with colors and to see how products can really enhance a look.

However, even the best quality makeup isn't worth the money if you're not taking proper care of your skin. Healthy skin provides a smooth foundation for your cosmetics. With healthy, radiant skin, you can even feel confident leaving the house without makeup. Yes, as much as I love my makeup, the reality is that I'm a busy mom of three kids. There are many days I walk out the door cosmetic-free. And I'm fine with that because I know my skin looks beautiful.

I must confess that I wasn't always good about taking care of my face. I didn't really learn about the importance of skincare until I was a mom and started selling a well-known beauty brand as a way to make some extra money. Since then, I've been devoted to my face care and have really seen the difference it makes.

I'm no longer a new mom. My oldest is 12, and now I'm beginning to explore anti aging skincare. The new ingredients and technology used in skincare products today is just amazing. There are potions devoted to every skin type and problem you can imagine. I strongly advise doing a little research and finding a skincare regimen that works for your type of skin, problem areas and lifestyle. Just a few minutes each day and night will make a world of difference in your overall appearance.

What's your skincare routine? Any advice?
