I hate disorder. I find that the fewer things I have around me, the easier my life is. I can relax more easily in my home, I don’t have to move too many decorative objects when I clean and I never lose anything. I could tell you where every pen I own is, which is why I love it when a dress can work through multiple seasons, a beautiful bowl can hold my keys, or my beauty products can be used in different ways.
Speaking of beauty products, if you’re looking to reduce clutter in your bathroom, want to speed up your morning routine, or just want to do less with more, then I have the beauty products you’re looking for.
Read on for my tried-and-true multipurpose beauty products that will streamline your routine. And don’t worry, you won’t find 2-in-1 shampoos or conditioners here – the horror.
Bobbi Brown launched a new beauty brand called Jones Road and it doesn’t disappoint. I have tried and enjoyed a handful of products from the line and by far my favorite is Jones Road Miracle Balm. This moisturizing balm can be used all over the face for the most beautiful glow. My favorite way to use it is to dab a little on my cheeks and the bridge of my nose for that perfect “I’ve been in the sun too long” look. But I also use it on my lips and eyes whenever I’m rushing to get ready for a video meeting and I don’t want to spend more than 30 seconds lighting up my entire face.
Lip oils are a major trend right now, and the moment I heard about the concept, I was sold on it. My first step into the world of lip oil has been with Inner Beauty Shine Infusion Lip Oil, and it is the best product to throw in your bag. It acts like a moisturizing lip balm and looks like the prettiest clear lip gloss. Sometimes I add it over matte lip color to make it shiny or use a small amount to smooth out flyaways when I’m on the go.
Since I spend most days glued to my computer without interacting with people in real life, I try to avoid wearing makeup on weekdays. I never skip sunscreen, which makes Peter Thomas Roth Max Tinted Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 45 the perfect addition to my morning routine. Whether I’m meeting neighbors on a walk, want to go to the grocery store, or need to make a video call, it gives me enough coverage to feel good. On the days that I want to wear makeup, it offers really smooth coverage when paired with concealer or acts as a nice primer for foundation. Of course, the main advantage of this product is that it provides solid sun protection and is very moisturizing. It is a unique product for the days when I do not want a demanding morning skincare routine.
Fun fact about me: I’ve washed my face and performed a version of a skincare routine every night since I was 10 when my acne first appeared. There is no number of cocktails that can stop me from removing my makeup and washing my face before bed. When I need a quick and easy routine, this retinol oil night treatment for naturally serious sleep really comes in handy. On nights that I normally wouldn’t have the energy to add more than a moisturizer to my routine, I can use this treatment to also get some retinol action to help improve skin tone, fine lines, and acne.
This portable device is my new favorite addition to my skincare routine. The ReFa CAXA RAY has two purposes for me: skincare and personal care. After sitting in front of my computer all day or going to the gym, I like to take a shower, follow up with a full skincare routine, and then relax in bed while I watch Netflix and run this device all over my face, neck, and shoulders. . It is designed to pick up and knead the face, neck and décolleté to help visibly reduce puffiness. I find it also feels amazing on tight neck and shoulder muscles after a long day and helps me relax and unwind.
Okay, hear me out: I was loyal to Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood’s flawless filter before TikTok took it by storm. Create those 30-second videos though – the hype is real. I bought this unbelievably awesome product after the sales assistant at Sephora told me it was a foundation. When I got home, I realized that it was not a base, but something much more useful. This light, the dewy formula acts as a subtle foundation (more like a BB cream) on days I don’t need a lot of coverage, it can illuminate in moonlight, and it’s a very shimmery foundation on days I wear foundation.
