Have you stayed up late working or watching movies? Does your skin look dull and tired? Late nights are inevitable. While a cup of coffee can boost your energy, it won’t help you look fresh-faced. Research indicates that people are perceived as less healthy and less attractive by others when they don’t get enough rest. If you have a job interview or a date the next day, you want to look your best.
# Revive Dull SkinSimply splash cold water on your face to refresh your complexion and look more awake. This simple trick helps improve blood flow, leaving your skin smooth and fresh. For best results, apply a facial toner and remove it with cold water.
# Get MovingTake a short walk or jog outside, do some bodyweight exercises, or stretch your muscles for a few minutes. It’s not easy to get moving after a sleepless night, but it helps. Just pop up some sunglasses and go outside.
# Stay HydratedStart your day with a big glass of water, a smoothie, or a green juice. Eventually, mix water with lemon, ginger, and peppermint leaves. Add ice cubes and drink it right away. This will increase your energy and help flush out toxins after a night of partying. It’s also a great way to provide your body with vitamins and antioxidants.
# Take a Power ShowerTake a shower the moment you wake up. Play with the hot and cold to wash away all tiredness. The cold water will invigorate your body and boost circulation. Use a shower gel with citrus or peppermint scent, take a few deep breaths, and massage your body to stimulate blood flow. Use an exfoliating lotion to cleanse your skin thoroughly and unclog your pores.
# Apply Eye DropsPoor sleep can make your eyes red and dry. For a slight “wake up” effect, apply eye drops first thing in the morning.
