So to make sure you take the best care of your skin without having to take up too much time, we're sharing all our skin care shortcuts you totally need to learn now! Just scroll down to find out what they are.

 1  Want to brighten your dull skin instantly? Simply exfoliate your skin to remove any dead skin cells and you'll quickly see the results. This is because smooth skin reflects light more!

 2  Do your eyes tend to get puffy after crying or staying up late? Keep your eye cream in the refrigerator to turn it into a depuffer. The cold temperature restricts blood flow around the eyes, making your eye bags disappear.

 3  Staying up late studying but need your skin to look rested? Luckily there are now lots of serum-in-oil products that can replenish and recharge your skin with moisture overnight. Apply this all over your face and you'll have skin that looks fresh and rested without actually having to sleep for the full 8 hours.

 4  Argan oil is the secret to giving back intense moisture to your super dry and damaged skin! The cool part is that you can use this product to take care of your scalp and tresses, too.

 5  Another really easy way to avoid puffy eyes is by sleeping on two pillows instead of one! This is because when your head is elevated, gravity drains the fluid under your eyes, which helps with puffiness the next day.

 6  Tend to forget moisturizing daily? Make sure to use a creamy facial wash with hydrators like glycerin, shea butter, or oatmeal in the top five ingredients. This is not as effective as actually using a moisturizer but it helps in keeping your skin hydrated all day.

 7  Don't have enough time to apply both moisturizer and sunblock? Simply pick a moisturizer that already has SPF PA ++ (broad spectrum sunscreen) for a double-duty product that will definitely cut your morning beauty routine.

 9  If you tend to forget to apply lotion all over your body after showering, then an in-shower conditioner is best for your skin! Just apply it all over your body after having rinsed your body wash and then rinse out the conditioner. Your skin will be extra hydrated even after your shower!
