⏰ 5-Minute Morning Routine That Actually Works for School

Hey, Glaminai here.
Let’s be honest — no one has time for a 12-step skincare routine at 7 a.m. And you shouldn’t need a ring light and 14 brushes to look cute before first period.

This is your no-fuss, beginner-proof, 5-minute routine that gets you out the door feeling confident (and not crusty).

🧼 Step 1: Cleanse (30 seconds)

If your skin feels greasy or you wore skincare overnight, hit it with a gentle cleanser. If your skin’s feeling fine? A splash of water is totally okay.

Quick recs:

• CeraVe Foaming Cleanser (oily/combo)

• La Roche-Posay Hydrating Cleanser (dry/sensitive)

💧 Step 2: Moisturizer + SPF (1 minute)

Even if you skip everything else — do this.
Hydration keeps your makeup smooth, and SPF protects your skin (future you will thank you).

Look for:

• SPF 30 or higher

• A lightweight, fast-absorbing formula

Try:

• CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion

• e.l.f. Suntouchable!

• Neutrogena Hydro Boost with SPF

💄 Step 3: Skin Tint or Concealer (1 minute)

You don’t need a full face — just even out what you want to.

Option A:
Use a skin tint or light BB cream all over.

Option B:
Just dab concealer under eyes, around nose, and on any blemishes.

Glaminai’s tip: Use your fingers or a damp sponge — quick and foolproof.

🎨 Step 4: Blush + Brows (1 minute)

Blush = instant life. Brows = instant polish.

• Dot a liquid or cream blush on your cheeks and blend.

• Swipe a tinted brow gel through your brows. Done.

Faves:

• Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush

• e.l.f. Putty Blush

• Benefit Gimme Brow or e.l.f. Wow Brow

👁️ Step 5: Mascara + Lip (1.5 minutes)

One coat of mascara + a hydrating lip = you’re good to go.

Try:

• Maybelline Lash Sensational

• Essence Lash Princess

• Aquaphor Lip Repair or Glossier Balm Dotcom

✅ Optional, But Fast Extras:

• Highlighter stick – Swipe on cheekbones for glow

• Eyelash curler – Takes 10 seconds, opens up the eyes

• Setting spray – If you want your look to last all day
