Your 5-Minute Morning Routine for an All-Day Glow
We get it: mornings are hectic. You don't have time for a ten-step regimen, but you still want that fresh, confident glow. The key to effortless beauty is focusing on hydration and protection. Here is a simple, five-minute routine featuring favorites from our Beauty & Personal Care section that will leave your skin looking radiant and feeling amazing.
-
Prep & Plump (60 seconds): Start with a quick splash of cold water, then apply a hydrating Hyaluronic Acid serum. It instantly plumps the skin and preps it to absorb the next step.
-
The Hydration Essential (90 seconds): Ditch heavy foundations. Instead, mix a pea-sized amount of your favorite tinted moisturizer or BB cream with a drop of facial oil. Apply it quickly with your fingers for a sheer, natural finish that looks like your skin, but better.
-
Eye Wake-Up (60 seconds): Swipe on a layer of a good eye cream (look for ingredients like Vitamin C to brighten). Follow with a quick curl of your lashes and a coat of brown or black mascara. This immediately opens up your eyes and makes you look more alert.
-
A Pop of Color (90 seconds): The ultimate cheat? A multi-use product. Grab a creamy lip and cheek tint. Dab it high on your cheekbones and blend upward, then tap a bit onto your lips. Done!
You're nourished, glowing, and ready to face the day in under five minutes.
