So we all love to put on a full face of makeup, but sometimes if you’ve slept through your alarm and are in a hurry, you need a couple of fast beauty fixes that will have you looking fresh and flawless at the speed of light. (Ok, maybe not that fast. But pretty damn close.)
Step 1: See what you can skip
Try and cut your routine down to the bare, bare essentials. A swipe of mascara and a little lick of gloss go a long way! If there’s a step you simply can’t live without, see how you can tweak it a little bit, like using your mascara for eyebrow gel as well. Using a super quick self-tanner right before you shower. b.tan’s latest innovation, their pre shower 10 9 minute self tan mousse (yes, 9 minutes!) will have you glowing in just 9 minutes or will give you an even deeper glow the longer you leave it on.
(Hot tip: all of b.tan’s tans are 1 hour express tans so if you’ve got a lil’ bit longer, a more intense tan can get you that relaxed, vacation-y feel…even if you’re running on, like, three hours of sleep).
Step 2: Streamline your skincare
You deserve to look your best when you strut out that door, and fortunately there’s a really fast and easy way to do that. When you’re in the shower, just rinse off your face with warm water. That’s warm, not burning hot. Be gentle. Then, when you’ve toweled off, slap on some moisturizer – and don’t forget the sunscreen! Now you’re all fresh, glowing, and ready to take on the world.
Step 3: Get bouncy hair without the effort
There are a couple of different tricks for this one, depending on how much work you feel like putting in. (Don’t worry, we won’t tell if you’re always really lazy.) You should skip washing every few days – not just because it’s better for your hair, but it also saves you time on busy days. If you’re between washes, a squirt of dry shampoo is your BFF. But if you’re really desperate to wash your hair, try a co-wash, which gets your hair squeaky clean in just one step.
Step 4: Plan out your clothes
Yeah, your mom might have done this for you when you were a kid, but little did you know that she was actually teaching you a major life hack! Figure out the next day’s outfit and lay it out in a spot where you can see it (so you’re not wasting time digging through piles and doing the “sniff test”). That way, after you’re done with your shower, you can just pull on your clothes and head out.
Like, girl: you already know you’re super hot. The world is dying to see that, too. And these little tricks will keep them from waiting. 😉
