As we jump again and adjust our
internal clocks for daylight saving time, we need to be prepared for those
mornings when sleep doesn't come naturally, a condition known as 'hangover'. Summer
time". The good news is, there is a way to look refreshed and awake, even
if you have a vacuum on your sleep schedule.
Tip 1: turn off it, that is, the
electronics. Before going to bed, turn off all electronic devices i.e.
television, computer and, yes, your blackberry. These are all brain stimulants,
and if you answer emails in bed at 10 p.m., you'll have a hard time falling
asleep. Press the power switch at least an hour before going to bed.
Tip 2: get up... NOW! Once the alarm goes off, get out of bed immediately. Sleeping is not sleeping; it only prolongs the inevitable.
Tip 3: Now that you're awake, do
something. Try a morning workout to be motivated and energized throughout the
day. Take a quick run or take an early morning spin class. Make sure to
challenge yourself first and then see how much easier your morning commute is.
Tip 4: Hydrate yourself. Great skin
is not just about what you put on it, but also what it puts on your body. Skip
the morning cup of coffee, which can be dehydrating, and drink a glass of ice
water instead. Cold water will not only give you a kick in the morning, it will
also help hydrate your skin, leaving it looking and feeling fresh.
Tip 5: Wake up and pretend! Wear
hydrating, uplifting makeup like Almay Wake-Up Makeup, a celebrity Kate Hudson
favorite. This product contains essential minerals and ingredients, such as
cucumber and aloe, which soften and hydrate the skin. It also features the
first of its kind encapsulated water technology - once the powder hits your
skin, it releases a feeling of freshness that gives you an extra boost in the
morning.
Tip 6: DON'T skip breakfast. You've
exercised, you've hydrated and you’re beautiful. Why deny your body the
nutrients it needs to stay fit and feel refreshed when you go out without
taking a quick bite?
