We all live busy lives and when there is a time-saver, we all want to know about it. Beauty has seen a big push in multi-tasking products of late and why not? If it saves you time and money, it is definitely a winner in my books!
There has been a rise of in-shower two-in-one style products, I mean, it is a place we (hopefully) frequent daily, so why not do a lot of your daily beauty prep work while you’re there – who doesn’t love a shower?
From hair and body washes, to moisturising and now even a gradual tan is on offer, I am here to break down the multitasking time savers to help you get in and out of the bathroom quicker this coming summer.
ST TROPEZ TAN GRADUAL TAN IN-SHOWER
Moisturising in the shower was a breakthrough in itself, but now, a gradual tan in the shower? Now even the time poor have no excuse for fresh, hydrated, glowing skin! We all think of a tan, wish we had a tan, but applying one can be difficult and timely. I love the fact that I can be in the shower, apply a lather of product over my skin, wait just 3 minutes (perfect time to brush the teeth), rinse and towel dry. Then each day, your gradual tan develops to a golden glow, ready for any spring summer occasion – brilliant!
A tan formula is more active on warm skin, so being in the shower is perfect for activation, no mess, no smell, just shower and glow.

CLARISONIC SMART PROFILE
A device that is 11x more powerful than using your hands in makeup removal – yes that’s right! Cleansing brushes are fast becoming the go-to for cleansing and I can see why.
For a great face and body skin renewal you simply choose from the two settings, gentle or deep. It feels like a mild exfoliant, but it’s gentle enough so skin is uber fresh. Definitely a multi-tasker that you can use daily, or when you feel you need that deeper clean or makeup removal. A great investment for your skin.

NATIO AGELESS DUAL ACTION CLEANSER AND EXFOLIATOR
If a super quick, renewing cleanser sounds great with pure plant extracts, then this is the 2-in-1 in shower product for you.
A daily cleanse is essential for skin health, especially if you wear makeup, but a cleanser that also includes an exfoliator leaves your skin both clean and bright.
Exfoliants help to lift away the dull veil that can often hide a skins natural glow, and this Natio Ageless Dual Action Cleanser and Exfoliator cleans, renews, softens and generally minimises pores, lines and pigmentation, giving you a total skin renewal system.

THE BODY SHOP ARBER HAIR & BODY WASH
A 2-in-1 can definitely save time in the shower and what guy wouldn’t love that?
Men love quick fixes and trying to get them to use anything other than soap can be a struggle! If this is the case, try a hair and body wash.
A guy doesn’t need a conditioner as much as women, so this easy 2-in-1 would suit a guys needs, perfect for the gym, travel or of course at home daily. Coriander, lime and geranium leave the hair and skin feeling fresh, clean and gently scented for easy everyday use. You might even still this for a quick fix yourself!

NIVEA IN-SHOWER BODY LOTION
If you don’t have the time to moisturise your body after the shower, or feel like it will take too long, or maybe you don’t like the sticky feeling of freshly moisturised skin while you’re getting dressed.
As a fan of this product, I can say that moisturising your body, while showering seemed impossible, but once applied after cleansing in a lather, rinsing and towel drying, my body feels so much softer. Just like I have spent five minutes applying body moisturizer after the shower, but with no residue which I love!
Now available in five different styles to suit your skin moisture needs.

VEET IN-SHOWER HAIR REMOVAL CREAM
There are beauty duties we know we should do, but it feels like a chore and is not the most exciting experience. Hair removal is now even easier and fits in with your busy schedule while staying in the warmth of the shower and using water resistant ingredients, it will work on even the shortest hairs and leave your skin smooth for up to four days.
Outside of the shower, use the coloured side of the sponge, applying cream over area and wait two minutes. Next, step into the shower and try not to get water directly on the area and start shower routine. After five mintes, use the other side of sponge to remove cream and rinse. Smoothness on the go never looked so good.
