THE BEAUTY OF
A MULTI-TASKER
T

ime is tight, and so is your skin. Your
desk is a mess, and so is your skin. You’re
feeling tired, overworked and under
pampered, and so is your skin. Basically, you’re
having trouble staying on top of everything in
your life, including your skin.
Sometimes maintaining a 100-step beauty
routine is just unsustainable. Most of us agree
the essentials of any skin care regime include
cleansing, moisturising, protecting and nourish-
ing. But do you exfoliate when you cleanse? Do
eyes get their own moisturiser? Is sunscreen
enough protection or do you delve into antiox-
idants too? Do you nourish with serums or just
a simple night cream? And cosmetics: do you
emulate the twenty-minute YouTube make-up
tutorial, or just aim for looking not-scary?
Avene 3-in-1 Make-Up Remover. You can
follow this with another cleanser, but you don’t
have to — and you don’t even have to rinse it
off. Simply massage in and remove with a cotton
pad: in one go, you’ve removed your make-up
(including your indestructible waterproof cos-
metics), oils and impurities and applied anti-in-
flammatory and skin-soothing extracts. Your
skin is left clean and calm.
DCL Balancing Cleanser. Another multi-pur-
pose cleansing option, if you’re more of the
rinsing type. Don’t have time for an exfoliator,
