Skin Care Time Savers

“I'm all about saving time without sacrificing quality of skin care.” - Tara Olson

5 Tips to Streamline Your Skin Care Regimen

1. Purchase a skin care set. Skin care sets generally have all of your basic needs (Cleanser, moisturizer, sun protection) covered in a 2 to 3 step regimen. This also keeps you from getting too much of an active ingredient.

2. Moisturize and protect at the same time. Many day time moisturizers contain sunscreen. Instead of using 2 different products, you can use just one.

3. Cleanse and exfoliate at the same time. Some daily cleansers contain light exfoliants that are perfect for daily use. Other physical exfoliants can be combined with your facial cleanser 2 to 3 times a week to thoroughly cleanse and exfoliate.

4. Keep your skin care products handy. Consider having 2 facial cleansers--one at the sink and one in your shower. Keep serums & moisturizers near your toothpaste. When you brush your teeth twice a day, you'll remember to use these skin care products too.

5. Combine household tasks with non-daily skin care treatments. To help you create a schedule for non-daily skin care treatments like masking, consider combining those with other routine household chores. For example, set your laundry day as your masking day. While you are folding and putting away your laundry, you can apply a mask.
