10-Minute Beauty: Clean Face






Minute 1

With only 10 minutes to spare, it is possible to achieve a fresh-faced look.

Start by washing with lukewarm water and a cleanser suited to your skin type.

Minute 2

Exfoliation is key for radiant skin (trust us!), so keep a washcloth or buff pad at-the-ready for everyday use. If you don’t have an exfoliant, you can make your own by mixing ½ cup of sugar with enough olive or sunflower oil to moisten the paste. Use small circles to slough away dead cells and reveal new layers of skin.

Minute 3-7

Try a mask a few times a week. Makeup artist Diana Carreiro (who has amazing skin) swears by a weekly paste of 4-6 regular Aspirin crushed up and mixed with a bit of water. Apply to your face, let dry and then rinse. “The acid in Aspirin is an excellent exfoliator,” she says.

Minute 8

Massage a skin-suitable moisturizer to your face and neck. If you’re heading outdoors, be sure it has SPF 15 or higher.

Minute 9

Using your ring finger, gently dot on eye cream. This will help nourish this very delicate area.

Minutes 10

Spot-treat blemishes with a clear acne treatment gel. Salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide are two of the best blemish-fighting ingredients to look for. Note: If you have any reactions to these ingredients, stop using them and see your doctor for a recommended alternative.
