We get it. As busy girls-on-the-go, it can be difficult to adhere to an extensive 7-10 step skincare regime. So, if you are looking a short and sweet beauty gig that gets the job done (aka leaves you looking flawless and oh-so-fabulous), here's help.
People with great skin (who are also beauty experts!) tell Cosmo some of their good skin habits that can be done to instantly pep up your skin.
Paula Begoun, former investigative cosmetic journalist and founder, Paula's Choice
"For day time it never takes me more than 5 minutes to get my makeup on, but for going out at night to a fancy party and I’m wearing an evening outfit then I do everything and it takes a lot longer than 5 minutes! Putting on my eye design along (which for me includes false eyelashes) takes at least 5 to 10 minutes!"
Dr Geetika Mittal, dermatologist and anti-ageing specialist, Isaac Luxe
"I think some of the changes that can dramatically improve your skin could include something as simple as icing your face before applying your makeup to reduce the appearance of pores. Taking 5 minutes out to use a jade roller (properly) helps lymphatic drainage and boost blood circulation. A shot of aloe vera and amla juice or a functional food like apple cider vinegar go a long way too."
Dr Simal Soin, dermatologist, AAYNA Clinic
"I advocate using gentle cleansers and sticking to the regime: Hydrate, Moisturise, Sunscreen. Always remove makeup before going to bed."
Dr Kiran Sethi, dermatologist, Isya Aesthetics
