A Beauty Director’s Morning Skincare and Wellness Routine

Let me reiterate here and now, I am not a morning person. I would happily sleep late every day of my life if I had the opportunity. After all, I didn’t spring for the extra fluffy down comforter and luxe mattress to just willing race out of bed at the crack of dawn.

Alas, I am required to be a functional human being (most days) and so I’ve had to find the practices and products that can transform me from grouchy, groggy, and puffy to stunning, glowy, and caffeinated in record time, especially since I’ve had a nasty habit of running late for the majority of my life. But at 35-years-old, I’m doing my best to prioritize efficiency and arrive at my various destinations on time—or at least, no less than five minutes behind schedule because New York City trains often have a mind of their own. Luckily I’ve found a pretty fail-safe morning routine that I can accomplish in the 75 minutes I give myself before heading out to the door to the office.

I have five main requirements for my morning checklist—shower, skin, hair, makeup, ingestibles, each with their own vetted grouping of products to prep me to face the day looking impossibly polished and feeling alert. So, if you’ve been wondering what a beauty director’s morning routine looks like on an average workday, keep scrolling.
