Ever wonder why you wake up feeling a bit dull and washed out the morning after? Well, it's not just about that last sip of champagne – your body clock plays a crucial role too. As the sun sets, your skin gets to work, entering its 'cleaning' phase to sweep away those pesky dead cells. Then, from around midnight until 3am – the time we should be peacefully sleeping – it shifts gears to the essential 'repairing' stage.
But here's the catch: if you're still up and about during these crucial hours, your skin misses out on these vital processes, leaving you with a lacklustre complexion come morning. It's these disruptions that can make your skin age faster, especially if you struggle with insomnia. Instead of your usual light morning cleanse, opt for a nourishing balm or a refreshing gel that you can treat your skin to. A gentle massage not only cleanses deeply but also boosts circulation, flushing out toxins and bringing back that radiant, luminous glow we all crave.
Polish and glow
Chemical exfoliation will give your skin a little boost to make up for what it might have missed doing overnight. Remember gentle is the key here.

Hydrate and hydrate again
Here's a game-changing skincare tip from the amazing makeup artist, Andrew Gallimore. It's all about hydrating and repeating for that radiant skin transformation.
Start by applying a hydrating serum, like Starlight Skin Eternal Glow, and give it a few minutes to work its magic. Then, don't hold back – reapply it up to twice more to really saturate your skin. If you're feeling extra fancy, a gentle face rolling over the serum works wonders on puffy, tired skin. Just remember, roll upwards only, not back and forth.
Keep an eye on the areas where the product disappears and continue reapplying until it sits on the skin, rather than getting absorbed. Gently blot off any excess, follow up with a nourishing face cream to lock in all that hydration, and voila! You're ready for your makeup routine. This little trick suits all skin types and is especially perfect post-peel for that super-dewy, glass-skin finish. Plus, it's a lifesaver for rehydrating after a long flight.
Keep it light and flawless
Finishing touches and little beauty hacks can work wonders on your tired skin. Keeping your makeup light is key – heavy makeup can just highlight how tired you feel. Our go-to is the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Perfect Glow Concealer. Sweep it all over your face to gently cover any blemishes and brighten those dark circles, leaving your skin and eyes looking fresh and flawless. This concealer is a must-have post-party essential, along with a trusty bottle of eye drops.
Now, here's a classic makeup artist secret that never fails to impress: depending on your skin tone, opt for a peach or apricot-toned blush or eyeshadow. This simple switch can work like magic, instantly refreshing a tired complexion. Don't worry if you're missing the right eyeshadow shade – just sweep that peachy blush across your eyelids for a quick and easy fix.
With these easy tricks, your skin will look refreshed, glowing, and ready to take on the day! It's all about those little tricks that make a big difference.
