There are days when getting out of bed seems like the hardest thing to do. It comes as no surprise, then, that following a morning care routine may seem a bit daunting. It is true that a good morning routine promotes both wellness and productivity for the whole day to come because it is important to take care of one’s own hygiene. But sometimes people are too busy or wake up later than they should, and there is no time to do a proper routine. However, no matter how chaotic your morning gets, there are still ways to get ready for the day. In this article, we will discuss some steps you can take to still look great, despite your morning circumstances.
Style your hair the night before
Hair can be one of the biggest problems in early mornings. Styling your hair takes time, and that is exactly what you do not have. The best way to ensure a good hairstyle is to wash and style your hair the night before. People with curly hair can avoid tangles by sleeping with their hair up or in a silk nightcap. For gorgeous locks without ironing your hair, you can wrap it in four buns before you go to bed the night before – two buns above the ears and two at the nape of your neck to ensure a comfortable sleep. Weaving pigtails is also an option, or simply wrapping your hair in nylon stockings if you have straight hair and wish to create some curls.
Dental care
Good oral hygiene is very important, not just to promote a beautiful style, but to keep your smile healthy for years and years to come. Brushing your teeth before bedtime is important to keep your teeth healthy. In the morning, giving your teeth a good brush will erase any chance of morning breath and also give you a boost of freshness. Aside from brushing, flossing your teeth is very important. A toothbrush goes a long way, but using a water flosser will help you clean plaque and bits of food off of your teeth and, more importantly, your gum line. A gorgeous smile is key.
Prepping your face
When it comes to steps that can be done the night before, putting on a good face mask before you get ready for bed is a good way to go. It will ensure a spotless face the next morning, ready to be further prepared for the day to come. Anything you can do the night before will leave you with fewer things you’ll need to take care of in the morning. There is a large variety of face masks to choose from, so doing your own research based on your skin type is very important. Some of these masks can serve as an all-in-one product that will replace the multiple steps you would normally take in the morning, giving you more time to focus on other things.
Providing skin protection
It is very important to provide adequate protection for your skin, as weather conditions may sometimes cause harm to it. Harsh weather, such as cold and wind, can quickly dry up your skin. A good moisturizing cream is a great option, but there are other conditions that can damage your skin even more. Sunlight can also cause quite a bit of damage, especially once summer rolls in with its high temperatures and UV radiation. Radiation can cause serious skin damage; from wrinkles and hyperpigmentation to the extreme of skin cancer. The best option for protecting your skin is wearing a good moisturizer with a multi-tasking Sun Protection Factor. Whenever possible, go for more eco-friendly options that cause less harm to the environment.
Makeup application
In the end, with your hair ready and your face prepared the night before, the last thing on your list is to apply makeup. It is important not to sleep with your makeup though because it will close all your pores and defeat the purpose of prepping your face the night before. Applying makeup in the morning will ensure a fresh look. But that does not mean you have to spend an hour doing your makeup before you leave for the day. Keep your makeup simple but effective with a good moisturizing concealer that will provide you with a flawless complexion and just a touch of mascara. All that is left to do is put on some eyeliner, and you’re ready to go!
