10 Ways to Wake Up a Tired-Looking Face

TIP 2: Cleanse Your Face

If you need an extra boost of energy in the morning, start by cleansing your face with water andYouth to the People's Kale + Antioxidant Superfood Face Cleanser. This cleanser is specially formulated with superfood antioxidants derived from kale, spinach, and green tea. It provides your skin with a thorough cleanse, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized.

TIP 3: Make Eye Cream Your Best Friend

Dark circles and under-eye bags are a dead giveaway that you’re feeling tired, which makes being diligent about applying eye cream a must. So go ahead and add a multitasking eye cream to your skin-care routine. We like the CeraVe Skin Renewing Eye Cream, which reduces the look of fine lines, crow’s feet wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles around the eye.

TIP 4: Energize Your Skin with a Caffeine Infused Serum

Invest in a high-quality serum like the 15% Vitamin C + Caffeine Energy Serumby Youth to the People. This serum contains plant-derived caffeine from superleafs yerba mate and guayusa, which work together to brighten your complexion, visibly reduce morning puffiness, and provide hydration to your skin. Incorporating this serum into your skincare routine can give your skin a refreshed and awakened appearance.¹

TIP 5: Exfoliate your Skin

Exfoliating your skin regularly can help remove dead skin cells and reveal a fresh, glowing complexion. We love the Micro Exfoliating Scrub by SkinCeuticals.

TIP 6: Brighten Cheeks With Blushr

Grab a peach or coral blush and blend it onto the apples of your cheeks. By adding a little color to your face, you’ll immediately appear more awake. We love the YSL Nu Lip & Cheek Balmy Tint for a healthy flush of color and glow.

TIP 7: Mix in Highlighter

The more luminous your skin looks, the less tired your face will appear. And the best part is, you can take care of your skin while you illuminate your face. We recommend using the NYX Jumbo Multi-Use Highlighter Stick.
