Hitting the snooze button eight times on a Monday is always bad news for your prep time. That extra 15 minutes of sleep will always cost you! Nonetheless, putting on a fresh face could still be a priority. And below are products that'll make your routine easier as you rush to your appointment in record time:
1. Hydrating Primer
Your messy sleep schedule will eventually affect your skin—it's just a fact of life. Thankfully, a quick fix always awaits. Work a hydrating primer into your skin after moisturizer to add a bit of radiance that'll last all day. Foundation, optional.
