If you have noticed, the first place where your tiredness shows are your eyes, it is where you feel it too. An easy solution is to take two spoons and keep them in the refrigerator for a few minutes till they are cold. Now, place one on each undereye gently. This will help in depuffing your eyes and get rid of dark circles. You can also put used tea bags in the refrigerator and place them on your eyes for a bit.
- Splash cold water on your face
When you feel you’re too sleepy and have a long day to go ahead, splash plenty of cold water on your face. This will instantly wake you up. Alternatively, you can also rub an ice cube all over your face. This isn’t an easy thing to do especially when you’re drowsy, but it does help. When you splash cold water or rub an ice cube on your face, it stimulates the flow of blood, tightens your pores and makes your skin look smooth and bright.
- Use products infused with caffeine
Coffee lovers are well aware of how invigorating a morning cup of joe is! Just as it can make you feel awake, this magic ingredient can help in waking up your skin too. When you use caffeine-infused products, it aids in stimulating the blood flow, giving it a young and fresh appearance. You can use a coffee-infused scrub for both your face and body, and it will instantly make you feel wide awake. Give yourself a double shot of morning kicks not just by drinking caffeine, but also by feeding your skin with it!
