How to Look Good in the Morning
Wake
up early enough. Set your alarm and give yourself enough time to go through your
morning routine. If you are not sure how long it will take you to get ready,
time yourself one weekend morning. Once you know how long it will take you, you
can set your alarm for a good time during the week.

If you go to
bed at a decent time, it will be easier for you to wake up at the time you need
to.
Eat breakfast. Eating a healthy breakfast can get your day off to a good start and fuel your body. Your breakfast should be a combination of whole grains, lean protein, low-fat dairy, and fruits and vegetables. Part of looking good is having plenty of energy and getting the necessary vitamins and minerals your body needs.
· Good breakfast
options include: oatmeal with almonds or dried fruit, fruit and vegetable
smoothie, multi-grain pancakes with fruit and yogurt, whole-grain waffle/bread
with peanut butter, or an egg omelet with vegetables.
· Drink plenty of
water as part of your breakfast.
· If you are
rushed for time in the morning, prep your breakfast ingredients the night
before.
Take care of your skin. Healthy,
clean skin will have a nice glow and help you look refreshed. Wash your face
with a gentle cleanser and moisturize your face in the morning. You
should also apply sunscreen before you leave for the day. Use sunscreen that is
at least.
· Use a lighter
moisturizer than you used at night.
· You can also try
a tinted moisturizer to give your skin a nice glow and a more even tone.
Get rid of puffy eyes and dark circles. Apply a cold
compress to your eyes to get rid of dark circles and puffiness. A cold spoon or
a bag of frozen peas can be used as a compress.To further reduce puffiness;
sleep with your head elevated to prevent fluid from pooling under your eyes.
· Place the spoon
in the refrigerator instead of the freezer so it will not be too cold. You can
put the spoon in the fridge the night before.
· Wrap the frozen
peas in a cloth before applying to your face.
· If the cold
compress doesn't work, apply a concealer with yellow undertones to hide dark
circles under your eyes.
· Used tea bags
can also be used to reduce puffiness. Steep your tea bags in hot water, allow
them to cool a little, squeeze out excess liquid and then apply to your eye
area.
Try to exercise. It might be
difficult, but try to exercise in the morning. Exercise increases blood flow,
releases feel good hormones, and gives you a nice glow. If you can,
get in 30 minutes of exercise, but even a brisk 10 minute walk can gets
the blood flowing.
· Exercise will
improve your mood and give you more energy for the day.
