We know, we know—you’re busy. Join the club. These days, multi-tasking has become a superpower we all know too well. But why are we to be the only masters of doing two—three, four, five even—things at once? Wouldn’t it be nice if our beauty products could tackle multiple concerns or jobs in one fell swoop as well? Not only can multi-purpose products shave some precious time off our skin care regimens—which, for the record, we’d never skip no matter how overwhelmed we are—but they can also save space in our cabinets, vanities, desks, cars, purses…you get the idea. So, in honor of making our lives (and last-minute mornings) a wee bit easier, we’ve rounded up four products from serum to cleanser that work double-duty, if not more. If your skin doesn’t thank us, we bet your wallet will.SERUM: KIEHL’S PRECISION LIFTING & PORE-TIGHTENING CONCENTRATESerums are hydration powerhouses thanks to their highly concentrated formulas. But why choose one that only hydrates when you can use one that tackles that plus more with the same level of effort? If signs of aging are an issue for you, reach for this visibly lifting and pore-tightening concentrate by Kiehl’s. The formula—utilizing a triple-filtration process to obtain a highly refined Micro-Filtered Yeast Extract—has been clinically tested to noticeably lift the skin for a visible improvement in facial definition. But that’s not all. The formula can also visibly reduce the size and appearance of enlarged pores, fine lines, and wrinkles. Apply it all over cleansed facial skin twice daily.Kiehl’s Precision Lifting & Pore-Tightening Concentrate, $64 MSRPMOISTURIZER: LANCÔME BIENFAIT MULTI-VITAL SPF LOTION - SPF 30By now you should know full well that moisturizer and SPF are two non-negotiable skin care products.
