In the real world (a.k.a. in a corporate setting), I am a project manager. I’m the friendly colleague whose job is to quite literally ensure assignments are completed and projects launch within a certain timeline. Outside of the office, though, all bets are off. Timeline? Never heard of her.
Of course, I’m being a bit hyperbolic, but I am much more lax in my everyday life and tend to rely more on vibes than the actual time. For example, say you were my husband (just go with it) and you told me we have to leave our apartment at 7 p.m. to make our dinner reservation. In my head, that means I’m likely pulling out my skin-care products and makeup around… 6:45 p.m. (Sorry, I can’t change who I am!)
Instead of panicking, I just skin-care smarter. As in, I use a lot of multitasking products to streamline my routine. Lately, I’ve been loving the Kat Burki Vitamin C Intensive Face Cream, which is a lightweight moisturizer with serum-like potency. It’s formulated with hydrating and moisture-locking reishi mushroom, soothing Centella asiatica (cica), and brightening vitamin C (15% of it to be exact!).
I slather on a dollop or two—from my forehead to décolletage—after cleansing and before sunscreen. Although subtle, the cream always leaves behind a fresh, glowy finish. Usually glowy enough to skip highlighter altogether… but that’s just because I never have the time. Oops!
You can find the Kat Burki Vitamin C Intensive Face Cream, along with other editor-loved products, in the November Allure Beauty Box.
