Busy mothers need one thing and one thing only, more time. When the routine of family life, the packed lunches, the permission slips, the pick-ups, collide with the demands of a career, it’s arduous to keep the plates spinning. Time for self is usually the first to slip to the bottom of the list, but these time-saving beauty heroes can help you claw back some me time.
Manicured nails give the impression of a woman who has got together, but who has time for regular manicures? The ingenious Paint Can from Nails Inc. gives a fool proof manicure in no time. Simply paint on a base coat (this is a necessary step) spray on the nail polish, paint on a top coat and leave to dry. Then wash off the excess spray to unveil the perfect manicure.
Nails Inc. Limited Edition Good as Gold paint can 50ml – £10.00
If you need to look groomed but barely have time to brush your hair after cooking Junior’s porridge, then the Laura Mercier Flawless Icons palette is for you. Housing eight neutral eyeshadows, a bronzer and a highlighter in one perfect exclusive to Harvey Nichols palette. No more rooting through the make-up bag in a frustrated frenzy. It will give a perfectly polished look for meetings, and pop in your handbag for a more leisurely touch up later at work when you are child-free.

The Dafni straightening brush is an innovative tool using the latest hair technology. It does exactly what it promises, straightens whilst brushing, no need to section or clip the hair. It takes just three minutes, which is a tenth of the average time it takes using
straighteners, to get slick luscious locks.

Beauty treatments are also recognising that women are time-strapped. Results are necessary, and delivery must be fast. Enter the Light Salon in its first site outside of London, the only skin rejuvenation clinic to use the latest LED Light technology, which naturally boosts the skin’s collagen production, correcting and healing as it goes. Facials take just 11 minutes and there is no downtime, so you can fit it into a lunch hour and still have time to eat your sandwiches.
Light Salon treatments from £35
