Shave 15 Minutes Off Your Morning Routine With These 5 Tricks

The things you need to accomplish before stepping out the door in the morning can tally up to one major to-do list: making coffee, checking emails, actually looking presentable — the list goes on. Luckily, there are quite a few ways you can cut down on your routine and transform your mornings into an easy, efficient process — no second cup of coffee necessary. From swapping out your endless beauty goods for double-duty products to seriously smart planning, here are five ways to get 15 minutes back. Bring on the extra beauty sleep!

1 Sleep in a braid or bun for effortless waves

Throw your hair up in a bun or in a loose braid before you hit the sheets and you'll wake up to perfectly undone hair — no curling iron needed!

2 Use a BB cream

Forgo the moisturizer, SPF, and foundation in favor of a three-in-one BB cream. If you pick the right product, it can hydrate, provide coverage, and protect your skin from harmful rays — all in one go.

3 Use a lip and cheek stain

Try an effortless, romantic beauty look and use a tinted lip stain that can double as a cheek stain. You don't even need a brush or fancy applicator — simply dab the product on with your fingers and blend.

4 Moisturize in the shower

Instead of waiting for your skin to dry completely before applying your postshower body lotion, opt for a wet-skin moisturizer that you can apply before toweling off. You'll lock in more moisture and eliminate the wait time altogether.

5 Use a microfiber towel on wet hair

If you do need to wash your hair in the morning, swap your standard terry cloth towel for a microfiber one. It draws the moisture away from your hair and will cut down on your blow-drying time.
