If increasing number of products in your skincare routine or more steps for hair or body care intimidate you, then you must give multi-tasking products a try. These not only reduce the number of steps in your routine, save you time and effort, but also are equally effective. We are talking about serums that target multiple concerns like anti-ageing, hydration and barrier-building and moisturisers that are hydrating and also provide sun protection. If this seems like something that interest you, then here are the products you can try.

Why Multi-tasking Products Work?

These are time saving and also cost efficient, it's suitable when you don't have time to spare for an elaborated routine or run your routine on a strict budget. Additionally, simplifying routine by consolidating all the steps makes it easier to stay consistent. You also avoid chances of skin irritation that may happen due to the layering of multiple products. Though results may take time, it's still effective and better than not having any routine at all due to the fear of multiple products or steps.
