So many of peeps struggle with long morning commutes and sleep deprivation that we want to cut down the amount of time we spend getting ready in the morning as much as possible. Who wouldn't like to wake up and instantly look gorgeous? While it may be impossible to bounce out of bed and out the door instantly, read this article for tips on making your natural beauty shine as you awake.

Steps:


Remove all makeup before going to bed. Do not sleep with any makeup on; otherwise, it's almost guaranteed to smear overnight and ruin your skin as well as your look in the morning. Cleanse your face with a gentle makeup remover and then scrub with a facial wash to remove pore-clogging debris from your face before you go to sleep. You will appear more refreshed and natural when you wake up.

Rinse your face with hot water to open your pores and prepare your skin for a deep cleanse. Using the tips of your index and middle fingers, lather facial wash across your face in circles, scrubbing thoroughly. Then use cold water to rinse off the cleanser and close your pores.

Even if you haven't put on makeup that day, wash your face before you go to bed because there is a chance that you can produce blackheads on your face or pimples overnight.

Also make sure to wash your face in the morning to cleanse your pores before you start the day.

Take care of your hair before going to bed. If you sleep with unkempt hair, it will only become worse and more entangled in the morning. If you take nighttime showers, it's a good idea to wait until your hair air dries and then brush through it before going to sleep. Alternatively, blow dry your hair and brush it.

Consider doing your hair in a tight, high ponytail with no loose hairs before going to bed at night. If you do this, your hair will appear more effortless yet fabulous when you are waking up.

If you have a face that pairs well with slightly wavy hair, you can also do a high, tight ponytail with no loose hairs and braid it very tightly. Make sure that the ponytail isn't too low, or it will appear that you only braided half your hair. If there are any loose hairs, clip them up so they don't become more loose when you awaken. When you wake up in the morning, there will be nice, even waves in your hair for a casually-messy-but-polished look.

If you routinely straighten your hair, consider doing it before you go to bed and when you wake up in the morning. It will cut the amount of time you have to spend straightening in the morning in half, and will ensure that your hair stays better put together when you wake up in the morning.

Drooling? Are you drooling? Don't be drooling! If you find yourself drooling in the middle of night, stop yourself. Keep a box of Kleenex by your nightstand so you can conveniently wipe away drool.
  • Some people drool because they have allergies and it's hard for them to breathe through their nose. Consequently, they breathe through their mouth and as a result, constantly keep their mouth open throughout the night. You may want to get a nasal spray or other device to keep your nasal airways open at night, so you can close your mouth and limit the drooling when you sleep.


Wipe away eye solids (boogers) as they develop. When a person wakes up and has had their eyes closed for a long period of time, they get green liquids and solids on their eyes... not pretty. To prevent this, you can keep a glass of water or wet paper towel next to you in the middle of the night and wipe your eyes.

Stop your nose from running. Blow your nose a LOT before you go to bed, but don't overdo it such that you irritate your nose (and cause it to become red and puffy). Also, keep a box of tissues by you in the middle of the night so if you have nose issues, you can fix it quickly.
Get the right amount of sleep your body needs. If you don't follow this rule, you will feel tired in the morning and getting up will be an ugly struggle. Your eyes may start to develop dark circles and heavy bags, making you appear tired. If this happens, put a spoon that has been refrigerated overnight or a piece of cucumber and under your eyes for a few minutes and hold it there. The cold temperature will reduce the darkness and it will become less noticeable.
 
 
Brush Your Teeth the Night Before. Brushing your teeth at night is actually proven to be more important than brushing your teeth in the morning. If you don't, your teeth will be very noticeable and gross in the morning.
 

Chapped Lips. People often have chapped lips when they awaken in the morning from all night of no lip gloss, lipstick, sunscreen, chap stick, or liquids! To try to prevent this, put on chap stick and drink water before and after you wake up.


Try not to sleep with wet hair.
