Every Sunday after a weekend of indulging in decadent brunches and cocktails, I loudly proclaim to anyone who will listen to me that I’m changing my ways starting Monday…and it still hasn’t ever happened.

The same struggle is true for my skin care. I can’t count how many times I’ve vowed to take on an elaborate 12-step K-beauty regimen, only to fall off the wagon at step six. Because the last thing I want to do before falling asleep is spending 20 minutes over the sink.

Which begs the question: How the heck can I get this eyeliner off so I can hit the sack? Thankfully, a multi-step, multi-product routine is NOT required. Choose one of the three items below for all the assistance you need to eliminate even the most stubborn eyeliners in under five minutes, giving you more time to focus on what really matters: Beauty sleep.

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Sensitive Makeup Remover Solution ($15, rickysnyc.com) is a micellar water, which sweeps away makeup without irritating skin or—get this—needing to be rinsed off itself. They contain micelles, microscopic oil droplets that act as makeup-removing agents. Just soak a cotton pad and run it over your face. No, seriously, it’s that easy. Bioderma been a French pharmacy favorite for years, and thankfully it’s now available stateside.

Chances are that you’ve used a face wipe. But sometimes it feels like there’s still gunk on your face leftover despite a thorough swipe—or that you REALLY need to scrub to get that eyeliner off. Not so with the RMS Beauty Ultimate Makeup Remover Wipes ($16, amazon.com). They’re formulated with coconut oil, which makes it easier to wipe away stubborn liners and lingering lipsticks.

Cleansing Sticks

Like a bar of soap has raised the bar: This new way to wash feels a bit like a mini-facial at the end of a long day. After splashing a little water right on your complexion, apply the H20+ Elements On The Move Cleansing Stick ($28, amazon.com) to where you want to wipe away dirt and oil (combo-skin types, rejoice!) so you can clean your T-zone of all that extra oil while saving your cheeks from being further stripped. And, oh yeah, because it’s a solid, you can take it from the gym to home without worrying about spills. What’s not to love?
