Between work, family, and everything else, who has time for a 10-step skincare routine? The good news is that effective skincare doesn't have to be complicated. Here's how to get glowing skin in just 5 minutes.
The Essential 3-Step Routine
Morning (2 minutes)
1. **Cleanser** (30 seconds)
Splash with water or use a gentle foaming cleanser. Don't over-wash – your skin isn't dirty from sleeping.
2. **Moisturiser with SPF** (30 seconds)
This is non-negotiable. UV damage causes 80% of visible ageing. Choose an SPF 30+ that doubles as your moisturiser.
3. **Eye cream** (30 seconds)
Optional but recommended if you're over 25. Pat gently around the eye area.
Evening (3 minutes)
1. **Cleanse** (1 minute)
Remove makeup and daily grime. If you wear heavy makeup, double cleanse – oil cleanser first, then regular cleanser.
2. **Treatment** (30 seconds)
This is where you target specific concerns:
- Retinol for anti-ageing
- Vitamin C for brightness
- Niacinamide for pores
- Hyaluronic acid for hydration
3. **Moisturiser** (30 seconds)
Lock in your treatment with a good night cream.
