7 easy tips to look and feel more awake

If you have had less sleep than needed your skin will most likely suffer the next morning so here are 7 easy tips to not only look like your more awake but to actually feel more awake too.
 

1 - When you first wake up wash your face with warm water and a facial scrub to remove all the dead skin cells. Once the skin is clean and all the dirt is removed from the face rinse your face with cold water to wake up the skin.

2 - Putting teaspoons in the fridge the night before you go to sleep or in the freezer for 5 minutes in the morning and then placing those on your eyes well help you feel much more awake and will reduce the puffiness around your eyes therefore making you seem more alert.

3 - To add to this, using an eye roll on cream or gel to brighten up the eye area will increase how awake the eye looks as the metal roller cools the area and the cream or gel is formulated to reduce under eye bags.

4 - If your eyes still feel tired after these steps using awakening or brightening eye drops can instantly brighten up your face.
 

5 - Always apply a good moisturiser to your face to fill in small lines in the face and plump up the skin. Also if applying make up, put a brightening primer on the face before applying your foundation. This enhances the skins appearance and makes your skin look much healthier.

6 - Use a foundation that is specifically for dry skin to make the skin appear more dewy and fresh. To add more moisture to the skin apply the foundation with a damp sponge and press the product into the skin to ensure an even application. Applying a brightening concealer under the eyes will help hide those under eye circles.

7 - Finally, to make sure your face looks bright and healthy apply a cream blush to the apple of your cheeks to give your face some colour and that extra lift.
