Probably all women are familiar with the situation when, in a rush to get ready for work, sometimes you only manage to get dressed and quickly grab a sandwich, but you have to tidy yourself up in a hurry or even on the way to work. Web2Health presents 10 ways with which any woman can save time in the morning and look great.
Exercise in the bathroom
Even if you overslept and now jump out of bed in horror and don't know what to grab, you still shouldn't put off your exercises. While you brush your teeth, you can stretch and not waste precious time.
Neutral Makeup
With the help of neutral makeup that highlights your advantages, you can quickly tidy yourself up in the morning. Compared to saturated colors, neutral shades that are applied even quickly will not "scream" that a woman applied makeup in a couple of seconds.
Mascara
Nothing will give your face a fresh and well-groomed look like mascara. Painted eyelashes can "revive" even a sleepy face. By the way, you can think about extending artificial eyelashes that you won't have to paint every morning. They will always look luxurious and make your eyes brighter, and time for applying makeup will thus be saved.
Wash only the bangs
Hairdressing experts say that it is not necessary to wash your hair every day. If you are bothered by your bangs, which make you wash your hair every day, then it will be enough to wash only them. The hair near your forehead gets dirty and greasy the fastest. This is especially true if you are used to washing your hair in the morning.
White streaks from antiperspirant
Another problem you may encounter in the morning is white spots from antiperspirant. Try blotting your underarms after applying the product. This will remove the excess layer of deodorant and you won't have to wait for it to dry before you can finally get dressed.
Hairstyle
All manipulations with the hair can be completed in 15 minutes if you use thermal water, which will moisturize the hair, apply a leave-in conditioner, which will smooth out all the protruding hairs, and do a cold-air styling, which will not harm the health of the hair. Light negligence is now in fashion, so it is not necessary to "smooth" the strands that are knocked out and falling on the face.
Cloth
It is better not to try on new clothes in a hurry. When you are late for work and every minute is precious, it is better to wear what you have already worn before. This will save your nerves and time, because the dilemma of what to wear - this blouse with this skirt or is it better to choose trousers - can drag on for an indefinite time and then you will definitely be late wherever possible.

Breakfast

It's better to spend less time in front of the mirror, but be sure to have breakfast so that your angry stomach doesn't scold you on the way to work. Low-fat yogurt, toast with cheese, oatmeal with dried fruit - breakfast won't take much time, but it will keep you healthy.
