Spring is approaching pretty fast around these parts, and it’s time for me to evaluate and assess my facial skin regimen. I tend to wear less makeup and lighter moisturizers during the warmer months. It’s time to let my face breathe a bit!
The Seven Signs of Aging include:
1. Line Minimization: Reduces the appearance of fine wrinkles
2. Nourishing Moisturization: For a radiant, healthy glow
3. Tone Enhancement: Balances color and reduces appearance of age spots
4. Gentle exfoliation: Smoothes and evens skin texture
5. Eye Puffiness Reduction: Massages to reduce the appearance of eye puffiness
6. Free Radical Defense: Helps prevent damage to skin’s surface
7. Dryness Defense: Reduces the appearance of dryness
I received the moisturizer around the first of March and I’ve used it for about 14 days.
Pros: I saw an instant brightness and my skin tone evened out each time I used it! My skin was smooth after application. The moisturizer wears well under foundation. The formula includes a built-in primer! I love that it has SPF already in it, so that’s one extra step to skip.
Cons: The medium to deep shade was extremely light to be “deep." “Medium” shade women will be able to wear it. But if you are darker than I am you might feel that it’s too light. The medium to deep shade is actually too light for me. Tinted moisturizers should be just as diverse as foundations. I had to do a bit of work spreading the moisturizer out evenly. Because the color is too light for me, I looked splotchy.
However, after I applied my foundation on top, there were no problems. Maybe a little less color in the formula would make it apply better or maybe you could use a foundation brush or sponge.

I moisturize mainly at night before bed when I have the most time to do it.

I use tinted moisturizers, long wearing cream shadows and blushes - like MUFE Aqua Creams (which saves time in the long run, no touch-ups) & only doing one shade as a wash on the lid - it's faster than multiple shades.. I don't use lipliner - takes longer, and I find a balmy lipstick (like Revlon Lip Butters) is more fool-proof when in a hurry.. & last I apply one coat of mascara vs. multiple since it's faster. :-D
I use a heavy moisturizer at night, and a sun block during the day.
i use tinted moisturizer instead of foundation to speed up my routine

I save time during my skin care routine by using a Clarisonic. It washes, exfoliates, and helps reduce pores so. R I don't have to use as many products as I normally would, but just my Clarisonic, facial cleanser, and moisturizer.

I try to use a lighter foundation vs something that will be heavy on my skin. And I tend to skip moisturizing. I know thats bad.

I keep my facial soap in the shower so I can wash my face & remove any makeup while showering. This saves time.

I saved most of my time by cleaning my face in the shower using Mary Kay time wise 3-n-1 that has the remover, cleanser and toner combined. Then after my shower I just apply MK tinted moisturizer for hint of color to give me that dewy look.. Get my lip gloss popping and I'm out the door to work!
In the morning I wash my face with face wash lotion in the shower to save time, and use SPF 15 moisturizer

My morning beauty routine is quite a rush. I try to save time on my skin care routine by choosing products that have dual/multiple functions. Such as SPF-ed moisturizer or moisturized body wash, etc. The Olay Total Effects Tone Correcting UV Moisturizer sounds amazing and I need to give it a try! Thanks for the detailed review!

I put lotion on right after I get out of the shower and I put on a moisturizer with sunscreen everyday...and I don't wear makeup which saves a lot of time.
I only wash my face at night and I've been using Garnier BB cream during the day, which covers a lot of skincare steps. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
I use Olay Regenerist skincare day and night to keep my skin moist and healthy, thank you.

I give myself a mask and do tooth whitening at the same time and then rinse both off.
I do everything right after I brush my teeth(both morning and night). This includes exfloiating, cleansing and mositurizing. :) It makes for a nice relaxing bedtime. R. Pratt: contactmrsp@yahoo.com
I use night-time moisturizers to limit what I have to ddo in the morning. Drinking lots of water helps my cause too!

One thing I do to save time is apply a mask 2 or 3 times a week first thing in the morning. Then it has time to work and dry while I make coffee, get clothes ready, etc. By the time I take my shower, I just wash it off in the shower and my skin feels so soft!

I heavy moisturize at night before bed. A lot of times I use my Biore pore strips while I'm blow-drying my hair and I always use a daytime moisturizer with sunscreen. Sometimes its tough to find the time to take care of my skin like I should.
