We’ve all been there: you want to look your best for an important event. These ten beauty tips will help you get that glow-up in record time, whether it’s for a special occasion or just because you want to look better tomorrow.
1. Drink water from the inside and the outside
Drink a lot of water tonight to get started. Drinking enough water is the key to having healthy skin. Even just a few extra hours of water can make your skin cells swell and make fine lines less noticeable. Also, put on a thick hydrating mask or serum before bed to keep your skin moist all night. In the morning, your skin will look fresh and dewy.
2. Gently scrub your skin before bed
Use a gentle exfoliant before your evening routine to get rid of dead skin cells that make your skin look dull. This lets your nighttime skin care products work better by bringing new, fresher skin to the surface. Don’t use anything too harsh; a soft chemical exfoliant or gentle scrub will work well for this.
3. Put on a sheet mask that hydrates your skin.
Sheet masks are the secret to getting a glow-up right away. Put one on about an hour before bed to deeply hydrate and nourish your skin. If you leave it on for the right amount of time, your skin will look bright and fresh when you wake up. Bonus: Put it in the fridge for an extra cooling and de-puffing effect.
4. Buy a good night cream
Instead of your usual moisturizer, use a thicker night cream that will work its magic while you sleep. To help your skin heal and renew itself, look for products that contain hyaluronic acid, peptides, or retinol. At night, your skin cells grow back the fastest. A good night cream can make a big difference by morning.
5. Get Your Beauty Sleep
Nothing makes your skin glow like getting enough sleep. Get 7 to 9 hours of good sleep each night to help your body heal and grow. When you sleep, your skin gets more blood flow and makes more collagen. Also, getting enough sleep lowers cortisol levels, which means less inflammation and fewer breakouts. Your skin actually looks better after you get enough sleep.
6. Get a silk pillowcase
For the night, switch to a silk pillowcase. Silk, on the other hand, reduces friction and helps keep sleep creases from forming, which can make you look older. It’s also better for your hair and can help keep your hairstyle in place. The smooth surface keeps your skin moist and lessens irritation.
7. Use a lip treatment before bed
Don’t forget about your lips! Put on a moisturizing lip balm or lip mask before bed. Your lips will be soft, full, and kissable when you wake up. They will also look healthier and more defined. This one easy step can make a big difference in how you look overall.
8. Give your face a quick massage
For five minutes, give your face a gentle massage to help your blood flow and lymphatic drainage. Massage your forehead, cheeks, jawline, and neck with your fingertips in an upward motion. This helps reduce puffiness and makes your skin look naturally flushed by increasing blood flow. Your face will look more sculpted and bright.
9. Put on eye cream and patches under your eyes.
The skin under your eyes is thin and shows signs of tiredness quickly. Put on a hydrating eye cream and think about using under-eye patches or a thick eye mask overnight. These help with fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness, so you’ll look more awake and refreshed when you wake up.
10. Make a plan for your morning makeup
As you get ready for bed tonight, think about what you’ll do in the morning. Pick a bright primer, a moisturizing foundation, and cream blushes that will bring out your natural glow instead of hiding it. Stay away from heavy, matte finishes that can make you look older. For the most glow, choose products that reflect light and have a dewy finish.
