Make your morning routine easier

For most people it's difficult to get out of bed in the morning, especially in the winter months. The alarm clock jolts you awake and all you want to do is snooze for a few minutes longer. The vicious game of tag with the clock is enough to start the day off poorly. One of the last things you want to worry about is the time-consuming process of putting on your makeup. With a few simple tips and tricks you can simplify your morning routine.

Step 1
Part of making your mornings a little easier begins before you go to bed at night. When you go to brush your teeth, remember to give your face a cleanse before you head off to sleep. Dermalogica PreCleanse could help you give your skin an ultra clean and healthy feel at night. With a plant-based cleansing solution, the product will melt away the layers of oil that build up on the skin throughout the day. After water is added, the formula changes into a milky texture and easily rinses away the residue. This product can work its magic on waterproof mascara and is safe to use around the eyes. Once your face is clean and fresh before bed, your morning routine will be a cinch.

Step 2
Consider using products that are two-in-one like double shampoos and conditioners or a body wash that also moisturizes the skin. You can shorten your time in the shower and after by completing two tasks at once.

Step 3
Clean out your makeup bag. Don't waste precious minutes digging through your seemingly bottomless bag of materials. You might have eye shadow from three years ago in your mystery bag – time to get rid of it! Tubes of mascara should be replaced after a few months. How many brushes do you have in your cosmetic bag? If it's more than a few it's time to toss some. A brush for foundation, blush and eyeshadow is usually enough.

Mornings can be much easier after following these steps. You can snooze for those few extra minutes and start your day off with a smile.
