4 tricks to wake up tired skin

APPLY A FACE MASK

Assuming you went to bed late last night, chances are that you hit the snooze button too many times and are now behind schedule. Even after cleansing and toning your skin in the morning, try a quick face mask to refresh and revitalize tired skin. On days when we need to "pretend" to be awake, we reach for Kiehl's Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque. Formulated with cranberry extract and turmeric extract, this mask instantly brightens dull, tired skin and restores a youthful glow. Let it dry for 5-10 minutes - do a few tasks while brushing your teeth and making coffee - then rinse gently.

TREAT YOUR EYES 

Have puffy eyes? De-pooh in a pinch applying a chilled cucumber slice eyes for a few minutes. This can help reduce puffiness and give your eyes a fresher look. (Tip: Sleep with two pillows to elevate your head and prevent fluid buildup in your lower eyelids.) To make the skin around your eye area look firmer and more rested, we love Lancôme Advanced Génefique Eye Light Pearl Eye Illuminator Youth Activating Concentrate. The formula, formulated with a flexible massage applicator, can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and bags under the eyes, making the area less puffy and more radiant.

HIDE DARK CIRCLES 

Concealer is a great way to hide dark circles under the eyes that spoil the look. Choose a full coverage concealer that blends well, such as L'Oreal True Match. Available in nine shades, the product can help ensure an even skin tone under the eyes.

Illuminate Your Skin

Add some pep to your skin prep with an illuminating illuminator to help you simulate a full night's sleep. Yves Saint Laurent Beauty Touche Eclat is a cult remedy for brightening dull complexions. Use it to hide tiredness, highlight facial features, and lighten the appearance of dark spots and dark circles.
