7 Things to Do Before Sleep to Wake Up

Beautiful

After a long,

hard day at work or a crazy party, the last thing

you want to do is prepare your skin for sleep. You

skip your beauty prep, fall asleep and then

wonder why you wake up with puffy eyes and

dull, tired-looking skin nearly each day. All women

are beautiful but not every woman takes care of

her skin properly. While you can skip your

morning face wash once in a while, you can’t

allow yourself to skip your bedtime beauty rituals

no matter how tired you are. Here are the things

you should do before sleep to wake up looking

your best.

1. Take a bath

One of the things everyone wants to do once they

are home is to destress and relax. There are many

ways to fight stress before bed. Some women

drink a glass of wine, while others watch their

favorite TV shows. Those are unhealthy ways that

can make you look even more tired in the

morning. Taking a warm bath before you hit the

sack helps to relax and sleep better so you will

definitely wake up super beautiful in the morning.

2. Wash off your makeup

Sleeping in your makeup is a surefire way to wake

up with some pimples, skin irritation, fine lines

and wrinkles. Whether you are using natural

organic makeup or mineral makeup, beauty

products as well as bacteria and debris clog your

pores and lead to acne and even premature

wrinkles, if you don’t wash them off each day

before sleep. No matter how tired or lazy you are,

take off your makeup in order to wake up looking

fresh and beautiful.

3. Moisturize your skin

Although it’s recommended to put moisturizer all

over the body, make sure you at least use your

night cream and eye cream before you head to

bed. Once you take a shower or a bath, apply

your cream to your face and lotion to your body

to keep your skin moisturized all night long. Dry

skin looks more wrinkled, which means you won’t

look your best in the morning if you don’t

moisturize your skin at night.

4. Brush your pearly whites

Let’s be honest, how often do you skip brushing

your teeth? Many women confess that they often

forget to brush their teeth before going to bed

and they think it’s okay because they always do it

in the morning. Studies repeatedly show that not

brushing teeth before bed can lead to some

serious health issues, including heart disease. It

sounds like a good reason to brush your pearly

whites regularly.

5. Drink a glass of lemon water

Don’t worry, ladies, a glass of lemon water won’t

cause midnight bathroom visits, unless you drink

a few glasses. Lemon water keeps your body

hydrated as well as clear you skin while you sleep.

Give it a try tonight and you will wake up with a

plump and radiant skin tomorrow. Enjoy a glass

of lemon water in the morning to speed up your

metabolism, boost your energy and feel and look

your best all day long.

6. Get your beauty sleep

Sleep makes you feel better and look beautiful

regardless of your age. You probably know you

need to get 7-8 hours of sleep each night, but do

you know exactly when you should go to bed to

wake up looking beautiful in the morning?

Between the hours of 11pm and 3am, your skin is

repairing and restoring, so make sure you go to

bed around 11 pm and get at least 7 hours of

sleep.

7. Meditate

Yup, meditation is one of those things that can

help you wake up looking amazing. It’s actually

my personal tip. I live a highly stressful life so

often have to deal with stress-related skin issues,

especially breakouts. What I found out is that

meditation before bed helps me destress, get rid

of negative thoughts and prepare for sleep. I fall

asleep calm and happy and wake up feeling great

and looking beautiful.

You see, you don’t need to spend hours before

bedtime in order to wake up beautiful in the

morning. Develop these bedtime habits to spend

less time trying to hide under-eye circles and

pimples. What do you do before going to bed?
