The Benefits of Multi-Functional Skincare Products with La Fervance
Multi-functional and versatile skincare products are increasingly gaining popularity, and for good reasons.
Say “I’ll be ready in 10”…
and mean it!
From skincare to makeup, beauty editor Bettina Tyrrell shares her time-saving tricks and must-have products for getting out the door in a flash.
Forget mastering a winged liner, I believe the one beauty trick we should all have up our sleeves is the 10-minute face. This is an easy routine that in minutes delivers a complete beauty look. Being able to sprint out the door with some resemblance of polish as I drop my keys and spill my coffee, gives me the confidence that although I’m in an absolute flap on the inside, it’s not going show on the outside.
The 10-minute face requires an arsenal of easy-to-apply, multi-benefit and multi-use skincare and makeup products. This is where clean beauty really shines. Because of the focus on formulations, clean products (even makeup) often come packed with skin-loving ingredients and boasting many benefits, making it easier to skip key steps in your regular routine.
I’ve curated my daily cosmetics bag down to just five steps that covers everything from skincare to makeup. This is how I pull myself together when time is not on my side.
With minutes to get out the door, my multi-step skincare routine can take a back seat. However, I still want nourishment, moisture and active ingredients on my skin. Am I asking too much? No, because VENN’s genius Vitamin B Activated All-In-One Concentrate replaces a toner, multiple serums and moisturiser. Jam-packed with B vitamins and amino acids, three pumps of the cream smoothed over the face and neck loads skin up with lasting hydration while also tackling fine lines, redness, discolouration and dullness. I can’t get enough of the plump, radiant finish it gives. And while it’s incredibly potent and active, my sensitive skin has no problem tolerating it because it’s been formulated without any nasty irritants.

Rain, hail, shine or short on time, I will never leave the house without applying sunscreen. Salt & Stone SPF 50 Stick is brilliant because I can scribble the stick all over my face, down my neck and chest in seconds. Then I use the heat in my fingers and palms to press and blend the formula in. The natural, broad-spectrum SPF is also spiked with antioxidants which add an extra layer of protection, shielding skin from other environmental stressors like pollution.
SPF 50+ Face Stick
A skin nourishing, 100% natural sunscreen face stick with a matte finish. This water-resistant formula glides on smoothly and sinks into the skin effortlessly offering broad spectrum UV protection combined with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory botanicals for healthy and hydrated skin.
Best for: Everyday sun protection for all skin types.

When I have the time, I will apply a concealer and a foundation. When I’m short on time, I reach for products like Manasi 7 All Over Skin Enhancer, that will correct uneven tone, conceal redness and create a base that still looks like my skin, just better. Use it as a concealer to spot correct, or as a foundation that can be built up to the coverage you like. It has a semi-matt finish which is great for oilier skin types, but I love a radiant look (and my skin is on the drier side), so I blend it with two drops of Venn’s Red Oil before applying. This sheers out the colour and gives a natural, dewy finish, and I get the hydrating and softening benefits of this beautiful, lightweight, non-greasy oil.

So now I need some quick colour to perk up my complexion and draw attention to my features. A multi-use makeup product like AuNaturale Multi-tasking Stick is easily one of my favourite beauty products to have in my kit. Swipe it on your cheeks, lips, and eyelids and you have a natural, flattering, monochromatic makeup look that is suitable for any occasion. My favourite shade in the AuNaturale range is Grapefruit, a punchy coral with traces of gold that beautiful illuminates the skin. I glide the stick upwards along my cheekbone and blend in with my fingers, then I use my ring finger to dab the pigment on my lips and eyelids. Because the formula is creamy and easy to blend it’s quick and foolproof to apply. No need to fuss around with brushes.
Mascara is like icing on a cake, without it I feel naked. I love fluttery, curled and full lashes, so I always go for a volume-boosting option like SAINT Volumising Mascara. This cruelty-free formula is gentle on lashes and won’t dry then flake off as you wear it. Plus, created without common irritants, it’s a safe bet for sensitive eyes.
Voilà! In five simple steps I feel presentable and my skin will be polished and protected all day. Now to find my keys…
