1. Open the shades, blinds or curtains ASAP.

Some experts suggest going to bed at night with the shades, blinds or curtains partway open. This way, as the sun rises and light streams into the bedroom in the morning, it’ll stimulate an easier awakening. For those who sleep with the window coverings closed, opening them as soon as possible will help combat sleepiness. Sunlight slows the body’s production of melatonin — a chemical known for causing sleepiness — and increases adrenaline — a chemical that makes a person awake, alert and energized.

 

2. Hit the shower.

An invigorating shower is a great way to wake up and wash up for the day. Make sure the water’s not too hot, as this can dry out skin and cause redness. Use a body wash or scrub with an energizing aroma and invigorating effects. To save time, choose products that multi-task, like a body wash that doubles as shampoo.

 

3. Indulge in aromatherapy.

Don’t underestimate the power of scent! Essential oils are composed of phytochemicals from plants, fruits and flowers. These oils quickly evaporate into the air but leave behind their scents. They can also be applied to (and absorbed by) the skin. To rev up energy and stimulate alertness, seek out citrus or spice-based scents, such as lime, grapefruit, mint, ginger, orange or basil. And before heading out the door, try a spritz of energizing perfume or body splash.

Exfoliation sloughs off dead skin to reveal healthier, newer cells. This leads to a luminous, younger-looking complexion and helps skin absorb moisturizers and other products. Exfoliants are generally classified as physical or chemical. Physical exfoliants use abrasive ingredients to remove dead skin cells, while chemical exfoliants use enzymes or acids. The ideal exfoliant—and how often to use it—depends on a person’s individual skin type. Learn more with this comprehensive look at different types of exfoliants, what products to use and how often to use them.
