Mornings never suck as much as they do in winter. The cold air, the streetcar at rush-hour, the seasonal gloom that blankets over the city in a major way--these are the days it can be super easy to rush through morning executing on the bare minimum of necessary motions to get you out the door at 8 AM (or worse: don't bother getting out of bed at all). But when you actually do suck it up and carve out the time to put a morning routine in place, it can make your whole day so much better.
Here are six simple morning hacks that'll help set your day off right with some extra support for your immune system, mindset and skin.
Moisturize–all over
A long, hot shower (no doubt where you immediately run to after vacating the warm cocoon of your bed) can dry your skin out even more. So keep it short and moisturize within a couple minutes of getting out, when your skin is still porous and more able to absorb. Better yet, start moisturizing before you go to bed and put one of these overnight cold weather skin fixes to work.
