4 Essential Grooming Products That’ll Save You Time in the Morning

Serums have their place, ditto masks and jojoba oil. But really, the more elaborate the technique or foreign-sounding the ingredient, the more likely it’s another step you don’t actually need to take when all you want to do is get cleaned up and on with your day. To effectively skip the multi-step grooming regime, stock your vanity with workhorses that do a few things at the same time. Because you’re nothing if not efficient.
