As a beauty editor, I’m incredibly lucky to have access to the best-of-the best in beauty products, and throughout my career writing in beauty, my head-to-toe beauty routine has evolved quite a bit. I now have a several-step routine for my hair, skin and body, and while I feel privileged to say that, sometimes the hustle and bustle of life gets in the way of my extensive self-care routine. (I’d love to be able to take a 30 minute shower before the day begins, but it’s not always feasible.)
Even though we might not always have time for a complicated beauty routine, the multi-tasking products of today have made it possible for us to still look and feel pampered even on a time crunch. For me, Nakery Beauty’s Hydra-C Oil to Foam Cleanser for Face + Body ($29) has been a life-saver for keeping my skin clean, clear, hydrated and radiant head-to-toe, no matter how rushed I may be.
What it is:
Nakery’s face and body oil-to-foam cleanser is a “hydration-surging powerhouse,” as the brand aptly puts it, that harnesses the power of vitamin C and natural, exfoliating plant extracts that instantly transforms your skin—both on the face and body. Instead of having to exfoliate, cleanse, oil and moisturize, Nakery’s Hydra-C cleanser cuts several steps from your routine by cleansing, hydrating, brightening, exfoliating, stimulating collagen production and leaving skin “lotion optional.” Suitable for the face, body and even hair, this all-in-one cleanser is all you need for skin and hair that looks and feels healthy and luxurious even on a time crunch.
How it works:
Activated by steam and/or heat, this cleanser’s luxurious formula transforms from oil to foam, creating a high-quality, enjoyable and sensorial shower experience (the product comes in six delectable fragrances). While cleansing, a stabilized version of vitamin C instantly brightens, jojoba and coconut oil hydrate, plump, smooth, and improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles, exfoliating flower acids eliminate dullness, and high-concentration glycerin “acts as an anti-aging powerhouse, binding hydration and skin-care ingredients to the skin for long lasting benefits.”
If you’re looking to up your self-care game without adding extra steps, this multi-tasking cleanser is all you need. Simply massage the product into your hair, face and body and watch as your full-body transformation occurs while you shower.
