Sanae Takaichi's 5‑Step Morning Routine: 3‑Hour Time‑Saving Makeup Hacks

I’ve been trying a new 5‑step routine that cuts my prep time by two hours, and it’s a game‑changer.

First, the 2‑minute wash with Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel—no more frothy, time‑sapping foam.

Next, a 2‑minute mug coffee: brew a shot of espresso, splash in oat milk, stir, sip.

Then the 3‑step makeup: Fresh Skin Cleanser to prep, Tarte Amazonian Clay 12‑Hour Foundation for coverage, Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray to lock it all.

Give it a go on a weekday, swap in your favorite products, and watch the clock shrink. Your skin will thank you.
