Life moves fast, but you’d be surprised at what you can accomplish in five minutes. Whether you want to recharge, get organised, or indulge in a quick self-care moment, these little pockets of time can make a big difference. Here are some quick, impactful ideas – including a skincare tip for women on the go.

1. Refresh your skin in five minutes
Treat yourself to a mini skincare ritual with Clere’s 2-in-1 Nourishing Crème + Tissue Oil Pack *. In just five minutes, you can massage the crème into your skin for intense hydration and nourishment.
“With 3.5X more Tissue Oil*, this formula is designed to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks, deeply nourish the skin, and improve tone and elasticity – all while delivering 48-hour intense moisture. It’s a quick, effective way to show your skin some love, even on your busiest days,” explains Su-Marie Annandale from Clere skincare.
2. Declutter your space
Set a timer and tackle a small area – your desk, a kitchen drawer, or your handbag. A quick declutter can bring instant calm and make your space feel more organised.
3. Breathe and reset
Try a simple breathing exercise: inhale for four counts, hold for four, and exhale for four. This quick practice can reduce stress and boost your focus.

4. Hydrate
Drink a glass of water or make a cup of herbal tea. Staying hydrated helps your body and mind function at their best, and it’s an easy way to care for yourself.
5. Quick brain boost
Do a short brain game or puzzle, like a crossword or a few rounds of a word app. It’s a great way to sharpen your mind and break up your day.
6. Connect with someone
Send a quick message to check in on a loved one or drop a compliment to a friend on their social media platform. Spreading kindness can lift both your spirits and theirs.

Time is precious, but five minutes can make a meaningful impact. Whether you’re caring for your skin or organising some clutter, those quick moments of self-care add up.
