Time-saving AM Beauty Tips
There are three parts of my daily routine that I love very much: snoozing (I know, it's a bad habit!), moisturizing and morning coffee.
Moisturizing?! Yes. I'm a lotionaholic. It's an essential part of my beauty routine and for a long time I thought everyone was like me until I had a conversation with my BFF. It went something like this:
BFF: You moisturize every day?
Me: Ummm yeah, doesn't everybody?
BFF: I don't! I hate how it feels after the shower - it's like I'm all wet again.
Me: Oh man, I love it!
After that convo I used to run to her room (we lived together for 7 years) in the AM and shout "moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!"
Needless to say, when Vaseline asked me to try out their Spray & Go Moisturizer it was a match made in heaven. Quick and easy lotion for a snoozer who can't get enough moisture? Yes, please!
I took the Spray & Go Moisturizer for a test drive last week and it's fab! That whole feeling wet thing? Gone! This definitely dries faster than your regular lotion and the spray nozzle helps deliver just the right amount so you don't end up with tons of lotion stuck between your fingers. Genius! Honestly, I'm tempted to keep one in my car for on-the-go moisturizing (don't judge me!).
Pull out your makeup basics: What products are necessary and what are auxiliary? My essentials are tinted moisturizer, concealer, blush, and mascara. After my AM skin regimen it takes all of two minutes to put my makeup on when I go the everyday basic route.
Shower in the evening: a snoozer's ultimate trick!
The side braid: Besides makeup, hair is the next longest process. If you don't have time to get all dry bar up on your hair, take it to a side braid for a simple and chic look. No one will ever know it's because you snoozed an extra 10 minutes.
No matter what your AM routine or what lotion you use, I am the BIGGEST proponent of moisturizing your skin every day. It's been said on multiple occasions - humblebrag alert - that I have extremely soft skin. I'm telling you, it's the lotion habits! Moisturizing keeps your skin refreshed and looking younger, plus it helps prolong your summer tan.
