Oh sorry @SilleeMee, I thought we were talking about drying skincare.

Yes, that, too. Just wanted to say that the fan has multiple purposes.

Re: How long does it take for your morning routine?

It will depend on the day. If it's a work day and I'm only doing phone calls, just regular skin care, plus sun screen. If I have zoom calls, I will do more with makeup and appropriate dress on the top with jeans. If I go into the office then it's much longer with business attire, and makeup. So it can go from 15 mins to 45. It's all depends on what my day has in store for me!

Not long - I shower at night and if it's a day to wash my hair I do it at night.  Get up for work, shower again in the morning.  Hair air dries.  My face - moisturizer, blush, brows, mascara, liner - 5 min.  Dress and out the door in about 35-40 minutes.  Lips go on in the car when I get in the parking lot.

Re: How long does it take for your morning routine?

I get up at 4:30.  Take care of my animals.  Jump in shower at 5 and out the door by 5:35 or 5:45 at the latest in good weather.  At work by 6.00.

 

I brush my teeth and wash my face in the shower.  I put moisturizer on and do a few other things downstairs and go upstairs and get dressed and then put make up on and dry my hair some.  

 

I have my clothes ready the night before.

Routine? That's a foreign concept to me.

Re: How long does it take for your morning routine?

I guess it depends on what "morning routine" consists of.  I guess I were to break it down.

 

1) teeth - brush, floss, waterpick, mouthwash - 15 minutes

2) shower - 25 minutes

3) skin/body care - 25 minutes

4) make-up - 30 - 60 minutes depending upon whether it is my basic WFH look or full-fledged "I gotta' go to the office" look

5) dry hair - 15-20 minutes

6) get dressed, put on jewelry & go - 15 minutes

My shower does include washing my hair, then washing my face, then washing/loofahing my body, rinsing conditioner out...it takes time.

Re: How long does it take for your morning routine?

I start with cleansing my eyes, follow with drops, oral hygiene, clean my retainers, cleanse face, exfoliate, apply 2 serums/eye cream, moisturize, apply sunscreen and then follow with foundation, undereye concealer, a light application of finishing powder on t-zone, apply eyebrow product, one eye shadow, light coat of mascara and then apply lip color, style hair. Start to finish 1.5 hrs.

 

If I've showered (every other day), washed/blow dried my hair (twice a week) it takes me closer to 2 hrs. I wish I could be the type to walk out the door with minimal effort but that's just never been me.
