Lazy Day Skincare: How to Keep It Simple Without Sacrificing Results
Is it possible to have a lazy day without neglecting your skin? Absolutely! Skincare doesn’t have to be a drawn-out, time-consuming process. Instead, keep these lazy skincare tips from Vine Vera in mind, and you’ll be able to indulge in some guilt-free me-time, knowing that your skin has been taken care of.
Make the Most of Multitaskers
If you don’t want to spend lots of time on your skin but want to ensure that all of your skin’s needs are taken care of, multitasking products are the way to go. Be strategic with your choices, and you’ll be able to keep your skin looking bright and youthful without feeling bogged down by an over-complicated skincare routine.
Multitasking products can be incorporated into just about every stage of your regimen, enabling you to create the ultimate lazy skincare routine! Start with a multitasking cleanser, like the Vine Vera Resveratrol Vitamin C Cleanser. In addition to thoroughly cleansing your skin, it will also brighten your complexion with vitamin C and licorice root extract, while providing an array of other antioxidants.
Then, move on to a multitasking serum, such as the Vine Vera Resveratrol Chianti Revival Serum. With peptides, ceramides, seaweed extract, and sodium hyaluronate, it hydrates the skin and keeps the skin barrier feeling supported. At the same time, kojic acid tackles the visibility of discoloration while vitamins and other antioxidants repair the appearance of environmental damage and give the skin a more youthful finish.
Finally, finish with a multitasking moisturizer, like the Resveratrol Cabernet Replenishing Moisture Cream SPF 30. This day cream also provides sun protection, which will save you from having to apply a separate sunscreen after moisturizing.
As you can see, with just three multitasking products, you can build a lazy skincare routine that still goes above and beyond for your complexion.
Do Some Multitasking of Your Own
It’s not just your skincare products that should be multitasking – this is something that you can be doing too! Carrying out certain elements of your skincare routine while you’re doing other things enables you to give your skin some extra care without having to dedicate even more time to your routine.
Take masking, for example. Face masks aren’t considered to be an essential product, meaning that most lazy skincare aficionados skip them altogether. However, mask while you’re doing the laundry, vacuuming your house, washing dishes, or carrying out other similar tasks, and you’ll be giving your complexion a boost without having to really do much extra. Sheet masks, like Vine Vera’s Pinot Noir Anti-Aging Luminating Face & Eye Mask, lend themselves well to this. However, if you find wearing a sheet mask uncomfortable while you’re moving around, clay masks, such as the Resveratrol Chianti Thermic Mask, work well too!
Another way to multitask while caring for your skin is when you’re spending some time sitting around and scrolling through your phone. You only need one hand for this, so put the other to good use by using this time to pamper your skin with some LED light therapy. With a tool like the Photonix-2 Jade Eye Wand, you don’t need to do anything other than hold the device over your skin and move it around. Before you know it, you’ll have given your skin a full LED light therapy session – lazy skincare at its finest!
Mask While You Sleep
We’ve already talked about how face masks are great products for multitasking. However, if that doesn’t appeal to you, another way for your skin to benefit from the properties of a face mask without the need for any extra work on your part is to slather it with a leave-on mask before you go to bed. This way, the mask will work its magic while you sleep. You’ll then rinse it off the next morning when you cleanse your skin, meaning no additional effort is required.
Of course, this is another opportunity to keep our earlier tip in mind – seek out multitasking skincare products. You could do this with your face mask too, opting for a formula that tackles a few of your visible skin concerns. Alternatively, if there’s one issue that you want to hone in on, a mask can help with this as well.
One leave-on face mask that’s a great all-rounder is the Vine Vera Resveratrol Pinot Noir Phyto Silk Mask. It’s brimming with hydrating ingredients, including squalane, aloe vera, sodium hyaluronate, and peptides. Extra hydration is exactly what your skin needs overnight. It’s also loaded with potent antioxidants, not only from the power of vitamins A and E, but also from the long list of superfruit extracts infused into this mask.
Focus on Hydration
Often, all that your skin really needs in order to look smoother, brighter, and more radiant is moisture. Moisture loss is an issue that’s now more prevalent than ever, with modern-day lifestyles exacerbating this in a big way. From pollution to harsh skincare products to caffeine and alcohol, there’s so much about daily life that contributes to moisture loss.
Once your skin begins to feel even slightly dehydrated, it will start to look duller. As this continues, fine lines and wrinkles will become more noticeable. Your skin will also take on a rougher texture and, due to the damage that dehydration causes to the skin’s natural protective barrier, sensitivities will also become more common.
As you can see, the simple act of giving your skin some extra hydration can go a long way! How can you do this? There are plenty of hydrating products out there that you could layer onto your skin. However, in the vein of simple and lazy skincare, the key is to ensure that all of the skincare products you use contain humectants. These are ingredients that bind moisture to the skin, meaning they provide quick and effective hydration. Sodium hyaluronate, aloe vera, squalane, and a few of the other ingredients we’ve already talked about all function as humectants. Prioritize these in your routine, and you’ll be able to keep your skin looking luminescent.
Invest in a Full Skincare Collection
While some people feel lazy when it comes to applying skincare, others feel that way about shopping for skincare products in the first place! In many ways, this is understandable. With so many different products out there clamoring for your attention, knowing which formulas would best suit your skin usually requires scrutinizing ingredient lists, followed by plenty of research.
One way to get around that is to stop shopping for individual skincare products and invest in a skincare collection or set instead. Vine Vera’s Bird Nest Collection is a great example. This set contains four products: a cleanser, a face mask, an eye cream, and an SPF moisturizer. They come together to provide an easy, lazy skincare routine that minimizes the appearance of UV damage and tired skin, bringing out the skin’s natural radiance.
The Vine Vera Vitamin C Power Set would also be a clever purchase. It consists of an exfoliator, a serum, and a moisturizer, each one infused with vitamin C. Add in the vitamin C cleanser we featured earlier, and you’ll suddenly have a powerful antioxidant-rich evening routine all laid out for you.
Create a Bedside Routine
If you often find that you forget about skincare until you’ve crawled into bed for the night, one simple way to ensure that your skin is still cared for is to keep a few easy-to-use skincare products on your bedside table. This way, all you’ll need to do is lean over to access your skincare. You’ll be able to apply your products while you’re sitting in bed – lazy skincare personified!
With that said, a bedside routine shouldn’t become a regular habit. As you probably know, the first step in every skincare routine is to cleanse the skin. It’s difficult to do this properly without water. Although facial wipes may seem to work, they aren’t very effective at actually removing dirt and oil, tending to smear it around instead. They’re better than not cleansing your skin at all, but shouldn’t be relied on daily.
Other than a water-free way to cleanse your skin, what else should your bedside routine consist of? You don’t need to go overboard, especially since you haven’t properly cleansed. Keep it simple with a hydrating, antioxidant-rich night cream, such as the Vine Vera Resveratrol Cabernet High Potency Night Cream. It will ensure that you wake up to skin that feels soft, smooth, and supple.
Seek Out High-Performance Products
We’ve shared some good lazy skincare tips above, but how about a tip to make you a little less lazy about skincare?
For many people, that laziness arises due to how long it can take to see results from topical products. You usually need to wait several weeks, if not months, before a product starts to take a noticeable effect on the skin.
One way to give yourself some extra motivation is by seeking out high-performance products that produce instant visible results. Case in point: the Vine Vera Resveratrol Cabernet 60-Second Eye Solution. Dab this product under your eyes and, after just one minute, your under-eye area will look smoother and significantly less puffy.
The Pinot Noir Wrinkle Repair Solution is another one that contains fast-acting ingredients. This product quickly smooths away the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. If you’re looking for a way to instantly achieve younger-looking skin, this product is exactly what you need.
Lazy Skincare Doesn’t Mean Neglecting Your Skin
As you can see, there’s nothing wrong with being lazy about skincare, so long as you’re strategic with the small amount of effort that you do end up putting in. Keep our tips in mind, and you’ll be able to give your skin all that it needs and more, with minimal effort!
