Night owls - you don't have to accept dull skin and dark under-eye circles as an inevitable part of life. With the right morning routine, the fresh complexion that comes with a solid 8-hours per night can be faked. Try incorporating this 5-step routine in the morning to stimulate blood flow, brighten your complexion - and boost your mood - before you leave the house. You never know. You may even become a morning person.
After you cleanse your face, finish with a splash of cold water. Cold water tightens pores, which helps prevent them from getting clogged with dirt and oil when you start the day. It also stimulates circulation, reduces swelling and the appearance of dark circles under your eyes (where skin is thinnest). Go the extra mile and wrap an ice cube in a washcloth and pat it all over a tired face for a skin wake up call.
