In today’s fast-paced world, the modern woman wears many hats—leader, caregiver, entrepreneur, artist, and dream-chaser. But while juggling deadlines, meetings, and personal responsibilities, one aspect of self-care often takes a backseat: skincare. Yet, glowing skin doesn’t have to mean hours in front of the mirror. With a few smart steps and the right mindset, skincare can fit seamlessly into even the busiest schedule. Shrishti Chaudhary (Shrihitt) Lifestyle Content Creator & Beauty Enthusiast shared quick routines every busy girl can follow.
The 5-Minute Morning Ritual
Morning routines set the tone for the day—not just for our energy but for our skin as well. A streamlined regimen can work wonders:
Cleanse (1 min): Use a gentle, hydrating face wash to wake up your skin without stripping away natural oils.
Tone (30 sec): A refreshing toner balances pH and preps the skin for better absorption.
Serum (1 min): Vitamin C is a powerhouse for brightening and protecting against environmental stressors.
Moisturise + SPF (2.5 min): Opt for a multitasking moisturizer with SPF 30 or higher to save time and protect your skin.
Pro tip: Keep these essentials in an easily accessible space—like your bathroom shelf or work desk drawer—for those mornings when every second counts.
Desk-to-Dinner Skin Reset
Midday meetings and evening commitments often leave little time for touch-ups. But with a few on-the-go tricks, you can keep your skin fresh from AM to PM:
Face Mists: A quick spritz can revive tired skin and add a natural glow.
Blotting Papers Or Compact Powder: Reduce shine without caking on more makeup.
Lip And Cheek Tints: These multi-use products add instant freshness and are perfect for a fast pick-me-up.
Night-Time Nourishment In 3 Steps
Your nighttime routine is your skin’s chance to heal and recover. It doesn’t have to be elaborate to be effective:
Double Cleanse (3 min): Use an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup followed by a water-based cleanser for deep purification.
Targeted Treatments (2 min): Depending on your skin concern—acne, pigmentation, fine lines—choose a serum or active ingredient like retinol or niacinamide.
Night Cream Or Sleeping Mask (1 min): Lock in moisture and let your skin soak up the goodness while you sleep.
Sunday Skin Sessions (Optional, But Recommended)
If there’s one day you can spare 20–30 minutes, make it Sunday. Indulge in exfoliation, masks, or a facial massage. It’s not just skincare—it’s self-care.
Skincare shouldn’t feel like a chore—it should feel like a small act of self-love.
