3 Must-Try Beauty Time-Savers

DRY HAIR FASTER:
Ask anyone—the biggest beauty time-waster is drying your hair. So skip shampooing (or do it the night before) and try this shortcut: First, dampen face-framing strands with a spray bottle of water. Then spritz them and your crown with a styler containing tea tree oil. It erases any not-so-fresh smells and softens hair, making styling a breeze, says Laura Boton, a salon owner in Chicago. Blow-dry the front pieces, blast some air at your crown, and hit the road!

Tea tree oil in Bb Tonic Lotion, $20, eases styling; lemongrass extract builds volume.

STEP UP YOUR SKIN CARE:
Meet your new morning must-have: a face wash that also exfoliates. It gives you a glow without the need for a separate scrub and toner, says Tony Nakhla, M.D., a dermatologist in Newport Coast, California. Next, apply a tinted lotion that has antioxidants. You'll hydrate and treat skin, nixing the need for makeup. It's two steps instead of six!

Smooth on Ultraflesh Tinted Moisturizer, $34, to hydrate, protect and camouflage.
