Getting through crazy days of working, helping with homework, cooking dinner, and car pooling requires serious multitasking — as you well know. So the last thing you need is a complicated beauty routine, am I right? That’s where beauty products that do double duty come in; they help you streamline your morning regime, so you can pull yourself together fast.
Ready to cut the clutter in your makeup bag and save time? I’ve done a ton of research to reveal the best double-duty taskmasters (in fact, most of these products perform triple duty), from an all-in-one body and hair mist to a blemish concealer/primer.
Love our round-up? Don’t forget to pin it!
The Best Beauty Products That Do Double Duty
Caudalie Grape Water (Hydrate & Awaken)
Caudalie's Grape Water ($18) is a personal obsession! It provides an even, light mist (as opposed to heavy splotchy spritzing), making it ideal for soothing dry skin, redness, and abrasions anytime, anywhere -- without destroying your makeup.

This weightless, oil-based multi-tasker ($49) instantly hydrates while locking in essential moisture and reducing redness. Use it to maintain all-day hydration and keep your entire body super soft.

OUAI Anti-Frizz Sheets (Smooth & Remove Frizz)
Oual's Anti-Frizz Hair Sheets ($18) are a secret weapon for combatting hair static and flyaways on the go. They calm static-cling due to the elements, as well as de-puff a blowout and help hide dry ends.
