5 Tips To Get Your Kids to Brush Their Teeth

This is probably one of the most asked questions by parents. It does not matter if they are first timers or not, this is the part where the phrase “every child is different” holds true. So really, How to Get Your Kids to Brush Their Teeth? Here are 5 Tips To Get Your Kids to Brush Their Teeth based on our experience.

Brushing should be a routine. Build up the routine of routine of brushing as early as possible and never ever slip away from the routine/schedule. When the routine is established, they will bring that as they grow older.

Use age appropriate brushing products. Ever wonder why some kids does not like brushing? The toothpaste you are using may be the culprit. Ask your pedia or dentist which toothpaste is best tasting for your kids. It also helps if the toothbrush they are using are designed with their favorite superhero or cartoon character, or as simple as in their favorite color.

Let them shop for their oral hygiene products. As mentioned above, it helps if the oral hygiene products they are using are in their fave color or fave character. To make things easier, let them shop for their own products, it makes them feel that they have a say on it and will not feel that it is something that is forced.

Count instead of singing or vice versa. Take a cue from your child. Do they love singing? Then it is ok to use a sing. If they love Math, use numbers instead. According to our dentist, it should be 10 seconds for each side:

right top front
right top back
right bottom front
right bottom back
center top front
center top back
center bottom front
center bottom back
left top front
left top back
left bottom front
left bottom back

Don’t force brushing. Take it one day at a time, one count at a time. Don’t force it but never give up. If on day 1, they will only allow you to brush their teeth up to 3 counts, on the second time, try upping the number to 5 or 6 and so on. Before you know it, your kid loves brushing as much as you wish them to.

BONUS TIP: when do you start teaching/training them how to brush their teeth? Start the earliest possible. You can actually oral hygiene as early as 4 months or when signs of teething is already showing.

My Daily Skin Care Routine

Secret to a good looking skin? Consistent skin care routine! Meaning, having a morning skin care routine and evening skin care routine. I have learned that after years and years of doing the 10 Steps Korean Skin Care Routine. Product brands matter too and skin age. The older you get, the more care you need to give to your skin.

Now that I am 35+ my skin care routine varies but this are the constants: facial wash, toner, moisturizer, and sun screen. Right now, these are the brands that I am using:

Daytime Skin Care Routine products used:

Facial wash: Kojic Soap
Toner: Thayer’s Witch Hazel
Ampoule: Deoproce Snail Whitening Ampoule
Moisturizer: Deoproce Alove Vera
Sunscreen: Biore Whitening Sunscreen or Belo Tinted Sunscreen

Nighttime Skin Care Routine products used:

Facial wash: Kojic Soap
Toner: Thayer’s Witch Hazel
Ampoule: Deoproce Snail Whitening Ampoule
Moisturizer: Deoproce Snail Repair Whitening Cream

10 Tips To Achieve the Korean Skin Glow even without the 10 Steps Korean Skin Care Routine:

Never sleep with dirty face, even if you are dead tired, cleanse and moisturize.
Don’t skip on sunscreen lotion, specially on your face.
Use a toner that is alcohol free.
Drink plenty of water.
Don’t skip the morning routine.
Use facial scrub once a week.
Facial mask is a must every after facial scrub.
Order of exfoliation: facial wash> facial scrub> toner> mask> moisturizer.
Order of creams is from thinnest to thickest consistency.
Massage your face at least 10 seconds in the morning and in the evening while doing your skin care routine.

Overwhelmed? Stick to wash>toner>moisturizer for evening routine, just add sunscreen for your morning routine. SUNSCREEN lotion is your face’s bff, never forget that!
