With a beauty cabinet full of products, there’s one thing that separates my holy grails from the ones I rarely reach for: convenience. Obviously, a delicious scent or fantastic formula gets bonus points, but it’s the products that do the job well and fast that stand the test of time. Thankfully, there’s no shortage of products that not only get the job done, but also check off your other beauty to-dos while doing it. And no, I’m not talking about your ex’s gross 3-in-1 shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. These elevated multipurpose products are the secret to every lazy girl’s beauty routine.
Ahead, the products that cut my beauty routine in half without sacrificing results. From multipurpose makeup to body moisturizers you don’t even have to leave the shower to apply, these lazy girl beauty products give you back your most valuable resource: time.
Multi-use products
My love for multi-use beauty products was born after one too many trips digging through my makeup bag (which somehow weighs more than my checked suitcase), trying to find the one product I’m looking for. Turns out, I could literally cut that collection in half without sacrificing my beat at all. It’s the ultimate lazy girl beauty hack. Whether it’s sunscreen with skincare benefits or a multi-stick cream blush and bronzer, these are all worth adding to your cart.
Spray-on bodycare
The cold, hard truth is that you should be moisturizing after every shower. I know, I know. I also can’t stand the painstaking three minutes it takes to rub in a thick body cream when all you want to do is climb into bed. Enter: spray-on body care. With just a few spritzes, your skin barrier will thank you.
Solid products
If even spraying feels like too much work for your busy schedule, solid products might work even better for you. Plus, you don’t have to worry about pesky TSA liquid limits. Whether it’s a facial serum in stick form, a solid body oil or perfume, or even exfoliating acids, these solid products will have you swapping out all your old favorites.
In-shower moisturizers
Honestly, sometimes your shower routine needs to end exactly there: in the shower. It doesn’t get lazier than an in-shower balm, but it also doesn’t get more moisturizing. Simply apply after you finish washing your body, rinse it off, and enjoy all-day hydration in less than a minute.
Treatments that last
Sometimes, the best way to make your skincare routine as efficient as possible is to bring in heavy-hitter products or treatments that make an impact. Whether it’s an everyday treatment that takes almost no time at all or something you only need to use sparingly for noticeable results, these products do the heavy lifting for you.
