Do you ever wish you could take good care of your skin without having to do much of anything? I definitely do, which is why I was intrigued when I heard that Aveeno had created a product that claims to brighten and rejuvenate skin in exactly one minute: Aveeno Active Naturals Positively Radiant 60 Second In-shower Facial. 

According to the package, the facial uses ingredients like soy, lemon peel extract and the steam from your shower to exfoliate your skin. All you have to do is get in your shower, splash a little water on your face, apply a little of the slightly gritty cream all over your face (not your eyes), massage gently for 60 seconds and you’re done. 

Is it really that easy? You bet. It did not irritate my skin at all. It has never left my skin feeling dry or tight, but after just one use my skin was exceptionally soft and smooth and after two uses it was noticeably more even. It even works on the annoying little forehead bumps I sometimes get. It also has a mild, fresh scent that makes the whole 60 seconds very pleasant. 

The only downside? It contains alpha hydroxy acid, which can increase sun sensitivity. I try to use it about once a week, preferably when it’s going to be rainy for a couple of days or when I know I won’t be spending much time in the sun. Other than that, this product is a total life win. Better skin in 60 seconds? I’ll take it!
