Here are some beauty tips that can slash minutes off your routine, but still leave you feeling satisfactorily.
CLEAN SKIN
With a cleaner and healthier skin, you will find little need for too much makeup. So, start your day with a thorough face wash; keep your skin-cleansing products within reach on your sink, so you don’t forget.
USE A MULTI-PURPOSE MOISTURIZER
With a lotion that carries a SPF of 30 and contains antioxidants, you can achieve a threefold function of a moisturizer, sunscreen and anti-aging cream. The antioxidants in the lotion have an anti-aging and skin tightening benefits.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR TANGLES
Wrestling with knots and tangles in your hair when you’re hard pressed for time can be frustrating, not to mention, destructive to your hair strands.
To save time, run a large-toothed comb through your tresses when you’re conditioning them.
DON’T BLOW-DRY AFTER A SHOWER
Don’t blow-dry your hair immediately after stepping out of a shower. Instead, wrap your hair up in a towel, and get started on your make-up.
Once your hair is about 80% dry, you can use the blow-dryer to set and style your hair.
NO TIME TO BLOW-DRY?
Simply run anti-frizz serum or cream through your tresses, and braid them. Get on with the rest of your routine. When your hair is completely dry, you’ll be left with naturally wavy, yet manageable tresses, that you can leave down or wrap into a ponytail.
SWAP YOUR ROUTINE UP
Do your eyes before your face, that is, before you apply your foundation. That way, you won’t lose precious time cleaning or rubbing off any eye-makeup mishaps from your face after you’ve made it up.
AVOID APPLYING MAKEUP EVERY DAY
Having to spend more than 8 hours in makeup can be harmful to your skin. If you go to the office with full makeup, it is not the healthiest practice. It is not healthy to keep chemical-rich products on the skin for 9-10 hours as makeup particles can get accumulated in your skin pores, which can lead to skin problems. If possible, go to the office without wearing any makeup and give light coverage to your skin. It is necessary to give your skin some time to breathe freely. If you decide to go sans makeup, don’t forget to properly cleanse your face and moisturize it. Also, don’t forget to apply sunscreen.
