Hi!

Aren’t you a fan of a cluttered makeup bag? Me neither. Are you looking for beauty products that fulfill a few tasks simultaneously? I’ve tested plenty of such products and there are a couple of true gems that I’d like to share with you. Today I’ll present you four multi-purpose, almost do-it-all products that, at least in my opinion, are worth trying out. Read on!

What are multi-purpose beauty products?

Multi-purpose beauty products comprise a special group of cosmetics. Having a few effects and functions, they are often described as 2in1, 3in1 and even 4in1, which obviously is connected with the number of applications they have.

Furthermore, multi-purpose cosmetics make a perfect solution for those who like the idea of minimalism, but also high effectiveness and best results. Without a doubt, people travelling a lot should appreciate do-it-all products because they help reduce the weight of baggage and save more space for other stuff.

Best multi-purpose beauty products

I’m presenting you a brief list of tried-and-tested beauty products that I recommend you to use, providing that you’re looking for multi-purpose cosmetics.

1. Holika Holika aloe gel

Do you already know this marvel from Holika Holika? Not only does this gel look amazing but also combines effects of a few regular beauty products. For example, you can use it as a replacement for a lightweight body moisturizer (it smells wonderful and doesn’t stain clothes, which is a common case as far as regular body balms go). I can also confirm that this gel penetrates skin in no time, leaving it smooth, moisturized and satin. If you want to, you can even use it as a face moisturizer. If this sounds interesting for you, I’d recommend applying Holika Holika gel prior to a SPF. Furthermore, if you apply this aloe gel to your hair, it will prevent frizz and dehydration. To me, aloe gel from Holika Holika is an amazing 3in1 beauty product.

2. pHformula EXFO Cleanse

Here is a face cleansing emulsion that is another 3in1 product: cleansing lotion, scrub and face mask. It’s a real treasure! I love using it not only on a daily basis to provide my skin (face, neck and chest) with a deep clean, but also once a week I use EXFO cleanser a little bit differently: I apply a thick layer to my face and let it do its thing for 10 minutes. What does it do? pHformula EXFO Cleanse delivers the effect of a face mask and enzymatic peel at the same time. And the results are stunning! If I were to explain to you why this product is so potent, I’d give you two ingredients, which are papaya enzymes and lactobionic acid. They remove dead cells and improve the appearance of skin by replenishing with water and making it pleasantly smooth to the touch. I also noticed that pHformula EXFO Cleanse evens out skin tone.

3. Swederm Face Gel

It’s marvelous! This is my lovely 3in1 face gel cleanser. With just one product you can replace a makeup remover, cleansing gel and facial toner. Its formula will sweep you off your feet! Why? Because it contains as much as 40% of organic aloe extract, which is why this product serves skin so well, and additionally soothes irritations. The effect of total hydration is amplified by hyaluronic acid. Instead of leaving your skin tight, Swederm Face Gel balances pH which means that you don’t have to follow it with a facial toner, or any other skin product. But to be honest, I have this habit of spraying my face with Damask rose water. Actually, I’d wholeheartedly recommend you spraying your faces, bodies and hair with floral or herbal waters (also known as hydrolates or hydrosols).

4. Benefit Bene Tint

And now time for a makeup product: a blusher, lipstick and a lip tint enhancing natural lip color combined in one cosmetic. Benefit Bene Tint is reportedly one of Nicole Kidman and top makeup artists’ fave blusher. Bene Tint is a living legend 🙂 Do you even know that it was created in the 70’s for an exotic dancer? Today this 3in1 color cosmetic constantly gains in popularity, and is recognized as one of the top makeup products. I’m sure that once you get it, you won’t stop repurchasing it. Benefit Bene Tint gives you a beautiful and long-lasting effect of subtle red, although the color in the packaging is more intensive. Lastly, it’s easy to use – all you need to do is pick up a small portion of Bene Tint and spread it along lips or cheeks.
