How To Look Refreshed Every Morning

“There is no sunrise so beautiful that it is worth waking me up to see it.” — Mindy Kaling

As much as we try, we don't always get a good night's sleep.

Even if we lay down at a reasonable hour, bad days play on our minds, animals are noisy, grandkids creep into our rooms after nightmares, and storms wake us.

After a night of tossing and turning, our mornings look dim and sleepy. We wear exhaustion like makeup, and friends tell us we look tired.

Did you know it doesn't have to be that way? We don't have to look like droopy daisies all day long.

No one is telling you to pull a college-all-nighter, but if it happens, you might as well make the most of it!

Fake a refreshed wake-up with these four tips!

1. Don’t Skimp on Skincare

Plan for the fact that life will derail your best-laid plans.

Maybe your New Year's Resolution was 8 hours of nightly sleep. And perhaps you are one of those diligent go-getters who kept your resolution past February.

But - there will come a day when you simply don't get the sleep you need.

When you take care of your skin ahead of time, the exhaustion doesn't show up as intensely on your face.

But - there will come a day when you simply don't get the sleep you need.

When you take care of your skin ahead of time, the exhaustion doesn't show up as intensely on your face.

Your skin has the opportunity to drink up the replenishing skincare. Because of this, you will be able to hide a sleepless night.

Use products formulated for mature skin. Solutions designed for young skin are likely too harsh on thinning skin.

Instead, look for a product line like Vibriance that uses ingredients targeting the unique demands of skin in its 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.

Vitamin C is your friend. The citrusy solution is an instant face brightener. When you need to undo a dull complexion, Vitamin C is your go-to.

Vibriance Super C Serum combines the power of Vitamin C with other vitamins and nutrients for aging skin.

Top it with a nourishing moisturizer like Moisturizing Cream to lock in the serum. Top with a high-quality SPF such as Sheer Zinc Sunscreen.

Taking care of your skin diminishes in advance diminishes the effects of a single night of inadequate sleep. As Benjamin Franklin said, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

2. Highlight your Foundation

If you are a Positive Ager who loves a little coverage, it matters which kind you reach for when you are wiped out.

A matte or heavy foundation accentuates your exhaustion.

When we are tired - our fine lines show up more. Matte makeup dulls our final look, making us appear more tired. Heavy makeup settles into our fine lines, spotlighting the wrinkles.

Instead, select a dewy foundation. The additional moisture portrays a look of lively happiness and is less likely to settle.

In addition, anything that brings light to our faces helps us look more awake. Use a highlighter like Illuminate to increase our luminosity.

Putting a dab in your under-eye area and in the inside corners of your eyes helps brighten up your face, giving the appearance of being awake.

Pro-tip: use a primer before applying your foundation to help it keep from settling.

3. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize

Dry skin looks tired.

To make matters worse, when exhausted, our bodies suppress a hormone responsible for hydration. And when we are dehydrated, our skin shows it.

Although drinking coffee all day to stay awake is tempting, it will make us look even more wiped out. Instead of reaching for another shot of espresso, try water with lemon for a pick-me-up.

Find a serum like Super C Serum that includes Hyaluronic Acid to combat dry skin. Using Moisturizing Cream protects from evaporation from stealing your skin's moisture and serum.

4. Stick to your Staples

When you think of makeup - blush and mascara are your staples.

After a sleepless night, stick to these. Too much color or heavy eyeliner gives a weighed-down appearance.

Instead, grab Radiance. Apply to the apple of your cheeks, swipe on your forehead, and spread a bit on your lips. The slight color gives the illusion of being awake without too much weight.

Then, use a lash curler for your lashes. The lift gives the illusion of wide-opened eyes. This trick is particularly beneficial when your eyelids want to droop down. A coat of clump-free mascara like Vibriance Volumizing Mascara finalizes your feigned-awake look.

Treat yourself well

Techniques to look more awake help for random sleepless nights.

But don't make skipping on sleep a habit. Find ways to prioritize your health by getting adequate shut-eye.

And when it doesn't happen, replenish yourself later with a nap, get to bed early, sleep in some, hydrate and eat well.

That way, when counting sleep fails, the one-off sleepless night won't hit as hard.
