When your day feels like a mad dash instead of a walk in the park, these tweaks to your beauty routines can help you at least appear to have your life under control.
Instead of: A time-consuming shower
Speedy solution: Splash cold water or spray a hydrating mist on your face to energize your skin. Store the mist in the fridge, or quickly run it under the tap; it will feel more invigorating as it hits your skin. “Cold water instantly tones and tightens your skin,” says Ann Marie Cilmi, director of education and development at Bliss. Try The Body Shop Vitamin C Energizing Face Spritz.

Instead of: Multi-step skin prep
Speedy solution: Jump right to moisturizing. Skip cleanser and toner, and give yourself more even-toned, hydrated and protected skin by slathering on a tinted moisturizer with SPF. “Go over any discolored areas a second time,” says Blair Patterson, a global makeup artist for Estée Lauder. You can also add another layer to cheekbones to help contour the face when it’s puffy from sleep. Try CoverGirl Aqua Smoothers Tinted Moisture SPF 15.
