Is it really possible to achieve beautiful, youthful-looking skin in just 90 seconds, twice a day? Busy moms rarely have more than a few moments alone. So, if you are a quick-slap-and-dab, Oil of Olay lady, it’s time to broaden your horizons: Step 1. Dampen your face and squeeze a small amount of Alba Sea Algae Enzyme into the palm of your hand. Apply to your face, rubbing in a circular motion for 30 seconds to remove dirt, oil and dead skin. Rinse thoroughly. Available at Trader Joe’s, $8.99 Step 2. Forget the liquid toners and cotton balls, and try a quick and easy clarifying pad from DDF that contains 5% glycolic acid and additional exfoliating properties. Wipe once over your entire face and throw it away. Available at Sephora, $35.00 Step 3. Apply Peter Thomas Roth’s quick-absorbing Glycolic Acid Clarifying Gel, a moisturizing, lineminimizing product. This non-oily, fragrance-free blend of goodness is beneficial for all skin types. For an extra boost of moisture, add Peter Thomas Roth’s Glycolic Acid Moisturizer as a final step. Available at Sephora, $45.00 The face is the place where all is revealed, and today’s busy moms should take advantage of these age-fighting products that will truly make a difference in a small amount of time.
