Time Saving Beauty Tips

As a busy mum, there are two things I rarely have enough of: time and money! So I’m always looking for ways to save, whether it is time-saving make up tips or how to recreate the latest fashion without spending a small fortune. I thought I would share few of my time saving beauty tips with you, so I hope you find them helpful.

As with all aspects of motherhood and family life, one of the easiest ways to save time when it comes to your beauty regime is to be organized. A great tip for when you’re simply too shattered to wash your face at night is to make sure you always have face wipes on the bedside table. This way you really have got no excuse for not taking your makeup off before you go to sleep!

Combining beauty routines with household chores can be a really effective way of saving time whilst still looking after yourself. A good tip is to put a rich, moisturizing hand cream on before putting your rubber gloves on to tackle the washing up or other household job. This will help the moisturizer sink in while you’re getting things done.

To save time in the mornings, invest in beauty products that can perform several tasks in one. For example, a detangling spray or serum that also acts as a heat protector. This will ensure your hair is easy to comb through, so it is quicker to style, and is protected from hair dryers and hair straighteners.

When it comes to make up, find a good cream blusher that you can apply with your fingers; you can then use this on your lips, eyes and cheeks for an instant dewy and fresh look without messing around with lots of different products. You can perform a similar trick with lipstick warmed under a hair dryer for a few seconds!

During the day you probably want your hair up and out of the way, but for an evening look that doesn’t require hours of styling, simply turn your hair upside down when you blow dry it to easily create lots of body. Pin back sections with hair grips for a tousled look.
