Try This 3-Minute Mindless Morning Routine For That Glowy “No Makeup” Look If You’re 40ish And Over It
We’re so very tired. But we demand that our complexion look dewy and radiant no matter what.

The genius of this routine, if I do say so myself, is that because it’s so unbelievably quick and easy and IMPOSSIBLE to screw up, you will actually do it.
I have no fewer than 43,798 “glowy” and “anti-aging” and “firming” and “skinlike” products rattling around in my bathroom at any given time, and so often I just exit my home looking like a dehydrated sewer rat because I’m overwhelmed by the options.
We all have various versions of what we can commit to or even what our preferences are when it comes to eye makeup or lips or brows. But skin? We all want plumped, gorgeous, unmakeupy skin every day, with little to no effort, with products that are supremely easy to use.
And so I made it my mission to try every single skincare and face product I own until I found the perfect combination for a skin and makeup base that will work for nearly all women. My requirements were thus:
It has to take 2 minutes or less
It must be utterly foolproof such that even the least skilled of us can confidently achieve perfect results every time
It has to work on all skin types including extra dry and sensitive
The results must make our complexion look plump, dewy, fresh, lit from within, perfectly skin-like, and not makeupy
Friends of the internet? believe I cracked it. I can name that tune in 4 products.
Let’s go.

Ok, so it took longer to read this article than it will to use these 4 things on your face every morning.
