BEDTIME BEAUTY TIPS

Hi all,

First of all if want to wake up looking gorgeous, get 7-9 hours of sleep.

Wake up with soft skin. If your elbows are starting to look and feel a little rough, try this home remedy. Before bed, cut the toes off of a clean pair of cotton athletic socks, slather your elbows with Crisco, and slide the socks over the goop. You’ll wake up to baby soft elbows, just be sure to shower in the morning!

Wake up de-puffed. Say goodbye to baggy eyes and puffiness, all with the help of your pillows. When you lie flat, fluid can gather around your eyes. So lie on your back and sleep on a stack of pillows to keep your head elevated. This will allow fluid to drain, preventing puffiness. And for an added beauty bonus, cover those pillows in silk pillowcases. Sleeping on silk will prevent lines and sleep creases.

Wake up with beachy waves. Apply a bit of product (like styling cream or gel) to wet or damp hair, then braid away! A French braid starting from the root will work best, but a regular braid will also do. In the morning, let your hair down, comb through it with your fingers to loosen it up and your do will be ready for the day!

Wake up with hydrated skin. Humidifiers are great for drier climates and seasons, but there are benefits of year round use. Get your overnight skincare regimen to do even more. Sleep with a humidifier running for an added dose of skin-plumping moisture.

Wake up sun-kissed. Your skin absorbs lotion best in the evening, which makes nighttime perfect for applying self-tanner. Apply at least an hour before bed (to avoid staining your sheets) and wake up to a streak-free sunless tan.

Wake up with smooth cuticles. Since your skin does a lot of its repairing at night, you can slather on the moisturizing treatments before bed and wake up to real results. Hydrate your cuticles while you sleep by applying a generous amount of cuticle oil and allowing it to absorb for a few minutes. Then cover each cuticle with a coat of petroleum jelly to seal it all in. When you wash up in the morning, your cuticles will be in great condition.
