Time saver: Three 5-minute beauty rituals

Keeping up your look typically takes time and patience. I don’t know about you, but these are two things that are hard to come by in my life. That’s why I have searched for ways to make my routine simpler and with these 5-minute beauty rituals, you can too!

A great smile can serve as your best accessory if you maintain it. Who has time? Oh wait… you do! My favorite teeth whitening system, (1) Plus White, only takes 5 minutes. For under $15 you get a set that includes teeth whitening gel, pre-whitening rinse and a mouth tray. Simply put the gel on the tray and allow 5 minutes for it to sit in your mouth. I try to do this once a week, and trust me it works!

Why not get a tan while you whiten your teeth? Sunless tanner is a great way to achieve this look in less time than you think! Slather on your favorite self tanning lotion or gel and you will be well on your way. The results may not show up right away but this is much safer and less time consuming than baking in a tanning bed everyday. As mentioned in my sunless tanning post a few weeks back I swear by (2) Banana Boat Sunless Summer Color Self Tanning Lotion. It’s inexpensive and provides great coverage.

 Another great way to get your pretty on in 5 minutes is with (3) Nutra Nail’s Gel Perfect Manicure Set. I absolutely hate waiting for my nails to dry when painting them which usually leads to unwanted results. With this product, you get a rock-hard gel manicure in under 5 minutes all without the need for a UV lamp! How amazing is that?

With these 5-minute beauty rituals there is no excuse to not look your best! What are some of your favorite time-saving routines?
