Hey girls, if you’re wondering how you can do your skincare routine in the morning before

Have you ever wondered how this could work? Surely, there’s something better than your mom screaming at you to get out of the bedroom until you’re done…Well, it’s true. There are actually quite a few ways to do your skincare routine in the morning before school without getting bullied by your mom.

You don’t have to wait a full 30 seconds for your toner to dry.

We all know that using toner is a must, but there are so many conflicting opinions on how long you should wait between applying it and putting on moisturizer. Some people say it’s essential to give your skin time to dry before following up with moisturizer, and others say that’s unnecessary. Which one is right?

Technically, you don’t have to wait at all. “If you’re applying your moisturizer immediately after toning, it should be fine,” says New York City dermatologist Cybele Fishman, MD, who recommends waiting just three seconds or so before applying moisturizer. “That said, I do think it’s better for skin if you give it some time,” she continues. “You want the products you’re using on your face to be able to interact with each other and work together as a system.”

You can use a cotton pad instead of a cotton ball.

Cotton balls and pads are both useful for applying toners, tonics, astringents and aftershaves. They’re great for removing excess oil from the skin, but can also be used to apply moisturizer if you’re using a cream or lotion instead of a water-based gel.

Cotton balls are made from 100 percent cotton yarns that have been twisted together into a ball shape. They come in a variety of sizes and colors, with the most common being white or off-white. Cotton pads are made from cotton flannel that has been cut into small squares or rectangles with rounded edges — they aren’t as absorbent as cotton balls because they have no center hole.

Cotton balls are good for removing excess oil from your face before applying any other products because they don’t stick as well as cotton pads do (and there’s no risk of them sticking together). If you’re using a gel-based moisturizer, it may be easier to use a cotton pad instead of a cotton ball because it will stick better to your face without slipping around too much.

You can use a face wash that doubles as an eye makeup remover.

If you’re looking for an all-in-one product, try using a face wash that doubles as an eye makeup remover. This will make things much simpler when it comes to getting ready in the morning. Instead of having two separate products on your vanity, you’ll only have one!

You can also use baby oil to remove eye makeup.

Baby oil is another great option if you’re looking to remove your eye makeup without irritating your skin or eyes. Baby oil won’t irritate your eyes at all and it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin. You can use this oil as a substitute for traditional makeup remover or even just use it as a way to remove excess mascara from your lashes after applying.

Coconut oil is also another great option for removing mascara because it’s so gentle on the eyes and won’t cause any irritation at all!

You don’t need to use moisturizer all over your body.

You can just use it on your hands and face, which are the areas that tend to dry out the most. For the rest of your body, you have other options for hydrating your skin.

For example, you can use a body oil like coconut or almond oil before bedtime. This will make it easier for your skin to absorb moisture from your sheets as well as from any lotion or cream you apply later in the day.

Soap is another good option for keeping your skin hydrated as it cleanses it gently and naturally. You can even try using an exfoliator once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells that might be blocking pores and causing pimples or blackheads.

There’s no need to wash your face twice.

The first time is when you get out of the shower or bath. The second time is right before bed.

The idea that you need to wash your face twice a day comes from the notion that your skin produces about a quarter-ounce of oil every 24 hours and that this oil needs to be washed off with soap. But it turns out that oil from your skin is actually protecting it from dryness, so washing it away could be bad for your complexion.

“The last thing you want to do is strip all of your natural oils,” says board-certified dermatologist Michele Green, MD, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut. “If you’re washing away all of this natural oil, you’re going to make your skin very irritated.”

It’s okay to skip toner on days when you’re wearing very little makeup.

When I was a teenager, I used toner every day, sometimes twice a day. I know some people who still do this (and it’s totally fine if that works for them). But as my skin has gotten older and more sensitive, I’ve found that my skin needs a break from the alcohol and fragrance in most toners. When my skin is irritated or dry, I can use a gentle misting of rosewater instead — it hydrates just as well and doesn’t strip away any of the good stuff from my skin.

The one exception is if you wear makeup every day and your routine is pretty heavy-duty. Then you might want to use toner as part of your morning routine so that your skin has time to absorb all those products before you layer more on top of them later in the day. But if you only wear foundation once in awhile or not at all, there’s no need to worry about stripping away natural oils or breaking down makeup before it has a chance to do its job properly!

You don’t need two serums.

I get it. You’re in your 20s, you have a full-time job, and you want to look good. You want to keep your skin looking young and healthy, so you’re wondering if you need a serum in addition to your moisturizer.

The short answer is no — unless, of course, you have a specific skin care concern that needs extra attention.

A serum is a concentrated liquid that provides targeted benefits for specific areas of skin care. A good serum has a high concentration of active ingredients like vitamin C and retinol (vitamin A), which are potent antioxidants that help with dark spots and wrinkles; peptides, which are amino acids that help with collagen production; or hyaluronic acid, which helps with hydration by drawing moisture from the air into your skin.

You can use up to three serums in your routine — one for hydration, one for brightening/anti-aging/wrinkles; one for acne/blemishes — but they should all be applied after cleansing before any other products or moisturizers go on top of them.

You don’t really need two toners, either.

The first thing to note is that a “toner” is just a cleanser that removes oil and impurities from your skin. There are different types of toners — astringent ones that tighten pores, moisturizing ones that feel great on the skin and so on — but they all do pretty much the same thing: cleanse your skin. Which is why you should only ever use one.

If you’re using an astringent toner and a hydrating one, then you’re effectively doubling up on cleansing your skin twice — which is unnecessary and will probably cause irritation or redness if you’re sensitive. It’s also going to take longer for your skin to absorb the products you want it to absorb; think about how long it takes for your makeup remover to fully remove makeup versus how long it takes for a second product to be absorbed into your face after you’ve already applied one product!

you can streamline your morning skincare routine without sacrificing the quality of it!

There are a lot of benefits to streamlining your morning skincare routine. It saves time, it ensures that you’re using the right products for your skin, and it makes sure that you’re not overdoing it.

If you’re not sure how to streamline your morning skincare routine, here are a few tips:

Wash your face first thing in the morning. If you want to wash your face at night, that’s fine too — just don’t do both!

Cleanse and moisturize at least once per day. If you want to cleanse twice per day or use an oil-based cleanser or mask, that’s fine too — just don’t do all of them at once!

Don’t double up on other steps like toners, spot treatments or exfoliators unless they’re really necessary for your skin type (for example, if you have oily skin).
