Speedy shower
The long way: You lather up with a body wash or shower gel, you rinse,
and then you massage in a body scrub to slough off dry, flaky skin on arms, legs
and feet. Total time spent: about 5 minutes.
The shortcut: To speed up showering time, cleanse and exfoliate in one
step. Slip hands into textured shower gloves such as this pair from Crabtree and
Evelyn ($5; to order call 800-272-2873). Then apply a creamy body wash -- we
like Dove Nutrium Skin Nourishing Body Wash ($4.29). The gloves exfoliate while
rich moisturizers in the cleanser keep skin soft.

Scent and soften in seconds
The long way: Slather on body lotion, wait a few minutes for it to dry
before you get dressed, then spritz on your fragrance. Total time spent: about 4
minutes.
The shortcut: Got a minute? A moisturizing body spray goes on faster
than a body lotion, and it dries in just seconds. Try Bath & Body Works Pure
Silk Body Splash in Sweet Pea ($16.50) with silk amino acids and aloe vera. It's
gently scented, eliminating the need to apply a separate fragrance.
