Time-Saving Beauty Tips

the-best-beauty-hacks-of-all-time Most of my mornings feel like some sort of crazy race. I’m usually running around the house trying to finish last-minute errands, find an outfit that somewhat matches, and arrive at my destination with some sort of hairstyle and makeup. That’s why I’m a big fan of anything that helps me save time on morning routine. I’ve learned that applying even a few simple tips can make a big difference in your daily routine, so today I thought I’d share a few of my favorite time-saving beauty tips with you!

Skip The Lengthy Skincare Routine

While it’s nice to treat yourself to a luxurious skincare routine, skip the facial for evening! When you’re in a hurry, use a facial wipe or micellar water to remove makeup and cleanse your skin. If you’re still in need of moisture, use a gel-based moisturizer that will absorb into your skin quickly.

Use Multi-Tasking Products

Using an entire basket full of beauty products isn’t a smart choice when you’re crunched for time. When you’re in a hurry, say goodbye to beauty clutter and embrace multi-tasking products! Think outside the box and utilize products in as many ways as possible. For example, choose a full-coverage foundation that can double as a concealer and use a light bronzer to set your makeup, contour your cheekbones, and add a bronze glow to your eyes. Shimmery champagne eyeshadow makes your eyes pop, but it can also be used to accentuate your cheekbones and add volume to your lips! Minimizing the amount of products you use on a daily basis can simplify your routine and cut the time it takes to complete in half!

Say Goodbye to Brushes

In addition to using multi-tasking products, choose formulas that can be applied without a variety of makeup brushes. Applying makeup with clean hands is so much quicker, and it can be completed on-the-go if necessary. Cream products work great with your fingertips!

Skip The Shampoo

Don’t aim to have the perfect salon-worthy blowout on a daily basis. Instead of spending hours washing, drying, and styling your hair, skip the shampoo and embrace your second (or third or fourth) day hair! If you need to get rid of oily roots, try using a dry shampoo or baby powder to soak up oil and add volume. If your hair really needs some help, add some extra volume by blowdrying your hair for a minute or two. The heat and air will give your hair an instant lift!

Master The Messy Bun

Now that you’ve learned to love your unwashed hair, utilize it’s texture with a quick and easy hairstyle. The messy bun is the busy girl’s best friend, and it can be completed in less than a minute. Simply gather all of your hair into a ponytail, twist at the roots of your hair to create a base for the bun, and wrap the remainder of your ponytail around the roots. Secure with a bobby pin or a cute hair clip, and you’re good to go! In addition to being incredibly quick and easy to complete, this hairstyle actually looks better when it’s imperfect. The messier, the better!

Maximize Your Shower

A quick morning shower can help you wake up and give your appearance a quick boost! After cleansing your skin, apply Nivea In-Shower Body Lotion over your entire body. Unlike traditional lotions, this formula can be applied directly to wet skin. After your entire body is coated, rinse off the lotion and towel dry! You’ll be left with incredibly smooth skin in under a minute, and you won’t be left with the dreaded sticky lotion residue- just soft skin! The shea butter formula for dry skin makes my legs feel silky smooth, and I love that I don’t have to wait for the product to dry before getting dressed.
