How to Cut 5 Minutes From Your Morning Routine

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at IU chapter.

 

We’re almost a month into the new school year and we’ve gotten over the excitement and hype of starting new classes. This slump brings on new challenges for us collegiettes, trying to work out the balance of sleeping in later and still finding time to look somewhat presentable! The clock is ticking and we begin to doubt if there is any hope on looking remotely put together. Alas, I promise you, it’s still possible to do your hair and makeup before grabbing a Luna Bar and running out the door. These morning shortcuts will help you instantly cut down the time it takes to go from bed to Ballantine!

Plan your outfit the night before and then you won’t have to worry about scouring your closet for the perfect “I just effortlessly put this on the run to class” look.

Grab a Neutrogena wipe and forgo the washcloth and soap to wash your face. You’ll be looking fresh and clean in seconds flat!

For-go the shampoo and opt for a quick spray of dry shampoo instead. The spray powder will absorb excess oils and your hair will be much more manageable. Tease your hair at the crown and then easily slip on a chic headband to pull your hair back.

Spray and go! You’ve seen the commercials for the newest Vaseline moisturizer and we’re telling you it really works! To extend your summer tan and keep legs silky smooth use this convenient spray moisturizer that absorbs in a flash.

Stick to the essentials. All you need is some tinted moisturizer which does double duty, a quick sweep of blush on each cheek and a dab of mascara on your lashes.

And voila! You’re ready for your day in ten minutes or less! What are your best time-saving tips when getting ready in the morning? Share with us!
