Beauty starts from the basics, such as well-being. However, sometimes it is difficult to find time for it. Wellness coach Anna Korhonen shares her beauty tips, which are really possible even for busy mothers.
Mother’s day can sometimes feel like a marathon with a watch around your neck. In beauty care Anna Korhonen speaks for the well-being of the mind and advocates “mamacare” moments in the midst of busy family life. Korhonen is a mother of two children, founder of Äitipiiri, entrepreneur and wellness coach.
– Motherhood comes with a lot of pressure. Also in beauty care and style matters. Sometimes it’s good to remind yourself that you don’t have to be something for someone, but you can do things in your own way.

According to Korhonen, time is saved especially when you are loyal to your own style and dare to be who you are.
The first beauty tip Korhonen gives is to remember to pay attention to the body’s recovery, especially after giving birth. Instead of emphasizing only external things in beauty care, it is worth working on internal things, according to her.

The important thing is to dare to dress and make up in your own way and take care of yourself in your own style.
– Along with feeling good and lifestyles, I recommend natural cosmetics and ease of use in everyday life.
5-minute day makeup
– As a mother, I’m used to doing my own make-up quickly and I do it in a natural style.
You can style your look quickly with the cornerstones of Korhonen’s standard make-up: high-quality foundation with sun protection, mascara, blush and lip gloss.
The cold also refreshes a tired face.
– After a bad night’s sleep, you can wake up facial blood circulation by massaging your face with a piece of ice.
15-minute “mamacare” pampering
– An easy way to bring a touch of “mamacare” into everyday life is to take at least one 15-minute moment when you can pamper yourself. For me, taking care of my skin in the evenings has been a nice way to stop and think about the events of the day, says Korhonen.

If you want a better moment, you can use a gua sha roller, play soothing music or go to the sauna with a face mask.
– Consciously stopping and calming down also calms the nervous system, which means that it affects the well-being of the mind.
Skin care
Feeling good, effortless and natural cosmetics are key words in Korhonen’s skin care.
– Healthy skin starts with hydrating yourself enough. So you should always keep fresh water with you. I also sometimes keep electrolyte powder or coconut water in my bag.
As a family man, Korhonen also uses supermarket cosmetics and multi-purpose products in his everyday life, i.e. those that are suitable for the whole family and for many purposes.
– I would emphasize that alongside feeling good and lifestyles, it’s worth investing in ease in everyday life. Less is more when time is limited, Korhonen sums up.
Easy hair
– I have had easy-to-maintain polka dot hair for several years, sometimes with bangs. An effortless and neat look is created when you round the ends inwards with a straightening iron in the style of the 70s. Relaxed surf curls are also created in an instant.
In the busy life of a mother, you can quickly brighten up your hairstyle with pins and buns. The cap also works great.
Try these:
Anna Korhonen prefers slightly more luxurious products during the mamacare moment. The focus of the moment of pampering is forest dust oil from the domestic Moi Forest. The product is multi-purpose and suitable for the whole family, the ends of the hair, the face and mosquito bites. €48.95, Grass root.
With a gua sha roller, you not only roll your face, but also give yourself a more relaxed mind. €32.90, Jolie.
The nourishing lip gloss from the Swedish natural cosmetics brand Estelle & Thild leaves a beautiful, shiny surface on the lips. The lips also feel moisturized thanks to the jojoba oil contained in the lip gloss. €24.50, Stockmann.

Hair easily looks more well-groomed with the help of the Finnish Herbina 3-in-1 styling cream. The product does not create a strong hold on the hair, but it makes the hair look smoother and feel as if you have spent a little more time styling it. €5.29, Tokmanni.
You can create a quick and even foundation in no time with Lumene’s CC Color Correcting foundation. The foundation spreads naturally and feels light on the face even in summer. It also protects against the sun’s harmful UV rays, as it has a protection factor of 20. €19.90, It’s snowing.
