One-Minute Beauty Treatments: Our Favourite 60 Second Products (Because Who Really Has The Time?)

Let’s face it, most of us barely have time to get dressed let alone do a ‘cleanse, tone and beautify’. Luckily those considerate beauty boffins have stepped in with a plethora of products to snatch back some precious morning-time (set that alarm clock to snooze now). Here are our top ten...

Clarins Eclat Minute Instant Light, £26 We’ve seen the light thanks to this nifty little tube that combines make-up and skincare benefits such as the radiance-enhancing ‘High-Lumitec' cocktail and a skin-soothing anti-pollution complex for a luminous glow.

L’Occitane Shea Butter One Minute Hand Scrub, £13 Get your paws on this nourishing scrub which combines brown sugar to gently exfoliate with shea, sweet almond and grapeseed oils to soften.

Charles Worthington Salon at Home 60 Second Colour Boosting Masque, £14.99 Make sure your crowning glory remains the main attraction with this sumptuous mask for all hair colours. Infused with argan oil, vitamins, sunscreen and a SmartTone technology, it ensures your colour stays vibrant for longer.

Ren V-Cense Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial, £30 As much as we’d love to languish in a spa with a face full of goo (or even in our own bathrooms), life tends to get in the way, so do away with the wait and go for the super-speedy solution. Formulated with brightening, water-activated vitamin C as well as Boswellic acid and magnesium, this transforming gel-rinse banishes blackheads and reduces wrinkles.
