How A Towel And Soap Can Help Shorten Your Morning Routine

If it takes you too long to get out of the house in the morning, you may be using the wrong soap and towel.

Let's start with the soap or body cleanser. You probably wash, towel off and then apply the moisturizer and wait for it to try. Instead, find an in-shower moisturizer that you can apply in the shower right after your body cleanser and ...you're done. There's a savings of a few minutes.

Next up, the towel. If blow drying your hair is taking way too long each morning, it may be your towel's fault. Expert hair people say, " 80 percent of your blow-drying time is used removing the water from your hair"., according to msn.com. The trick? Get yourself a micro fiber towel to quickly absorb that excess water, and cut you blow dry time in half.
