How To Look Less Tired: The Best Beauty Tips

We all dream of a few hours of extra beauty sleep. No matter how hard we try to get an early night, it just never happens, right?

Beauty sleep is the ultimate anti-ageing product that we don't even have to buy but we wish that we could get hold more of. Whether it's due to work commitments, from laying wide awake most of the night, being a parent, socialising until late, or just generally living a hectic lifestyle; we could all do with some more sleep. However, there are various tips and tricks we can share here to wake up our bodies, minds, and skin. Read this blog in order to learn how to look less tired and have great skin no matter what's going on in your life.

1. Facial Massage

Facial massage is the easiest, quickest, and oldest trick in the book when it comes to waking your skin up. You will find that facial massage is also always incorporated into clinic and spa treatments for this very reason. When you are tired and fatigued, both your skin and body typically hold onto a whole lot more inflammation and water especially in the under eye area. Ensuring that you give yourself a quick but effective facial massage in your morning routine will not only wake up your mind and increase circulation, lymphatic drainage, and blood flow but also drain away any tension and retention.

You can use just your own clean hands or a tool such as MZ Skin Sculpting Rose Gold Gua Sha to boost the benefits.

2. Opt For Glowing Skin Rather Than Matte Skin

Matte skin is officially out and glowing skin is officially in. A healthy glow on the complexion not only gives your skin a younger, more youthful appearance but it can also reduce the look of fatigue. You can achieve a glowy complexion in various ways; whether that is through makeup or a skincare routine.

A normal concealer used on the lower lash line will instantly act as a pick-me-up to hide dark circles. Avoid a smoky eye if your eyes are already resembling it naturally instead, use a light reflecting eye cream like Medik8 Illuminating Eye Balm on your crow's feet or anywhere that looks dull, and press any excess product onto the cupids bow for a fuller pout.

Gentle chemical exfoliators are another way to achieve a glow. No matter whether you have oily skin, dry skin, or sensitive skin; not only will they remove dry patches and reduce excess oil but they are also proven to remove clogged pores and dead skin cells from the upper layer of the skin's surface to reveal a brand new, brighter skin tone and flawless skin.

3. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Dehydrated skin is not a look that anyone strives for.

No one purposely gives themselves dehydrated, raisin-like skin but pair lack of sleep, too much alcohol, a bad diet, plus a poor skin barrier and you've got a recipe for skin disaster. However, the good news is that the skin's ability to bounce back is very impressive. Fill your body with lots of water and your bathroom cabinet with a great skincare routine - Hyaluronic Acid, a great mist like Eminence Organic Stone Crop Hydrating Mist (Hyaluronic Acid loves damp skin), Vitamin C, and sun protection as it is clinically proven to protect you from sun damage (remember that UV rays account for 90% of skin ageing!) for your ultimate best skin yet.

4. Switch To A Silk Pillowcase

Silk pillowcases not only absorb a lot less product than their cotton counterparts (meaning that you get better results from your skin care product AND better value for money!) but as the fabric is a lot gentler on the skin; it means that skin creases and fine lines on the skin's surface when you first wake up will be a thing of the past. Silk is also a much more beneficial fabric for your hair too. You can expect smoother hair, more moisture, and less breakage. Slip Silk Pillowcases are the #1 preferred brand of silk pillowcases by dermatologists. For their patients, themselves, and their families! 

If you find that you have deep wrinkles on your chest too from side sleeping then you should check out SilcSkin Decollette Pad for smooth skin after just one use.

5. Take A Look At Your Diet

We aren't just talking about getting your typical five-a-day of fruit and vegetables and sipping the odd green juice here, take a look good at your diet and ensure that you are eating adequate protein, carbohydrates, water, and fats to maintain those all important energy levels.

If you feel like you are lacking in certain vitamins and minerals (it is important to get this officially checked by a doctor) then you can take supplements. Advanced Nutrition Programme Skin Ultimate contains everything that you could possibly need. Remember that whatever you put into your body internally will radiate externally!

6. Shape Up Your Brows

Nothing opens up a set of tired eyes like a neatly done pair of eyebrows does.

Whether you want to save money and trust yourself enough to pluck them into place or you put your trust in a beauty therapist's hand at a beauty salon, a fresh tint and wax with no rouge hairs are exactly what you need.
