We’ve all been there, waking up with no time to get ready for the day with big plans ahead. This is the perfect remedy for a lazy girl like myself to wake up feeling refreshed and looking even better.
Moisturize Moisturize Moisturize.
Skin naturally loses water and hydration during sleep, so it’s necessary that we take that extra step at night to not wake with dry, patchy skin. Lather up and lay down at night, and slather your favorite moisturizer onto your face and neck to wake feeling soft and looking softer. This will decrease fine lines, and when continued will decrease dry skin. One of my favorite moisturizers for overnight moisturizing is the Clinique Moisture Surge Intense Moisturizing Hydrator.
Take The Makeup Off.
We are all aware that sleeping in makeup is bad for your skin. Sleeping in makeup might effectively create the “day-after smoky eye”, but it also can cause premature wrinkles and acne. The most important thing to do before bed is taking your makeup off, and if you don’t have time to wash your face, I recommend using makeup cleansing wipes to remove your makeup. The best quick makeup removal methods are cleansing water, some cult classics are the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, and Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes.
Silk Sheets All Night.
Silk is not only good for your skin, but it is good for your hair. Softer fabrics similar to silk create less tugging and breakage to your hair, which will leave you waking with better hair than cotton sheets and pillowcases would. Silk pillowcases also just feel amazing on skin, which will cause you to sleep better than cotton pillowcases, too. Lilysilk sells affordable, comfortable silk pillowcases.
Blush Up.
Using a soft, natural blush can create the perfect illusion of the full 9 hours of sleep. Applying blush on the apples of your cheeks and lightly across your lid can make you appear well-rested and ready to take on the day. Some of my favorite natural-looking blushes are Nars Blush in the color Orgasm and Too Faced Love Flush Long-Lasting 16-Hour Blush.
