After running around to meetings, furiously typing away most of the day and attending evening industry events, the very first thing I want to do once back in the safety of my apartment is wipe the last 12 hours off my face.

Gone are the days when men sneak into their ladies’ bathroom cabinets for a squirt of body wash or a scoop of La Mer.

As they say, the more is always merrier.
In consumer-speak, “the more” means extra product, perks, functions or results. Cosmetics companies understand regular folk are short of time (24 hours = not enough), space (more money, less room for new shoebox apartments downtown) and patience (directly related to lack of time plus space). Thank the beauty gods, because more of them are focusing on two-in-one innovations that give to relief — and added functionality — to all three.
