The Best Skincare Products for Lazy Girls

When it comes to skincare, past generations struggled so that we could thrive.

We've been taught better than to use abrasive scrubs nightly, forgo all forms of SPF and think that washing your face with a simple soap is all it takes to have super clear skin. Instead, we're bombarded with new trends in skincare constantly, with must-have ingredients seeming to go in and out of fashion the way style trends do with our clothes.

If you're the kind of girl who struggles to keep up with it all (or who gets tired simply watching a Get Ready With Me that features more than five products), you're far from alone. But thankfully, there are plenty of products out there that are perfect for self-proclaimed "lazy" girls, and we've collected our favorites onto a list to make your life just a bit easier.

Daybird's Tinted Skincare With SPF 50: $40

When it comes to crafting the perfect skincare products for lazy girls, an all-in-one approach is key. After all, if we could find just one product that made us look like we'd spent hours in a makeup chair and protected and improved our skin in the process, all our dreams would have come true. While such a product doesn't exist (that we know of), this tinted skincare from Daybird is about as close to it as it gets. This four-in-one multitasker does the job of a serum, moisturizer, sheer foundation and mineral sunscreen, all in one vegan and highly effective liquid.

Brandefy's Superfood Cleanser: $22

Do you dread the thought of taking off all your makeup at the end of the day and having to still wash your face after to get the remaining dirt, grime and residue off—all before you're able to get to doing the steps of your actual skincare routine? If so, we sure do have the product recommendation for you. We love everything Brandefy makes, but their superfood cleanser (which is packed with ultra-powerful and naturally derived ingredients like kale, spinach and green tea) is the ideal solution to removing your makeup and leaving your skin feeling clean and fresh. Oh, and did we mention it does it without the need for makeup wipes, oils or anything else that might complicate your routine or strip your skin of the good stuff that keeps it in balance? Yeah, this lean, mean green super-machine really does it all.

Nakery Beauty's Skip the Line Peptide + Collagen Wrinkle Plumping Cream: $42

While you might not be thinking about packing your routine with anti-aging products just yet, you should be—but now you won't have to anyway with Nakery Beauty's powerhouse plumping cream. Use it as your moisturizer day and night to give your skin a boost in moisture (hello, hyaluronic acid) and wrinkle-fighting benefits, all in one convenient product that saves you from having to do any research on or layering of a multitude of ingredients.

Forget about having to get out a bunch of cotton pads when using toner with this innovative product from Arcona.

FACTORFIVE Skincare's All-in-One Regenerative Serum: $199

These days, it seems like there's a "specialized" serum out there for everything. But, despite the majority of messaging that may be out there, applying too many of these products at once probably won't do your skin much good (and, according to some derms, can even harm your skin). One super-powered serum that will do your skin a favor—or five—though is this regenerative serum from FACTORFIVE Skincare. This best-selling serum is packed with one-of-a-kind ingredients that do the job of so many other products all in one, targeting dark spots and other blemishes while brightening your skin and preventing the signs of aging. The cost may be hefty, but when you consider that this one product can replace so many other pricey serums in your shopping cart, it certainly proves to be worth the price.

Colorescience's Sunforgettable Total Protection Color Balm SPF 50: $34

Is it still considered skincare if it also does the job of a makeup product (or three)? We think so. Colorescience's iconic Total Protection Color Balm is packed with more than just pigment—it also has a high SPF of 50, so that the only pink flush on your skin will be from this product, not from a damaging sunburn. Plus, the fact that you can use it on your eyelids, lips and cheeks makes it the lazy girl's best friend for vacationing and day-to-day life alike.
