How Can You Look Less Tired?

• After you've given your face a cold wash, you'll want to apply moisturizer. When you don't get enough sleep, your skin can appear lifeless and dry. Keeping your skin moisturized will help add some life back into it as well as smoothing out any fine lines and wrinkles.

• To help reduce the puffiness under the eyes, apply cucumber slice or use a cold spoon.

• Combine milk and some ice in a small bowl and soak a clean washcloth in the mixture. Apply the cloth to your face for five minutes. The milk will leave your skin feeling smooth, while also moisturizing it, and the ice will freshen up the face by constricting the blood vessels.

• Apply white eye shadow to the inner corner of the eyes. This will help you look less tired by brightening up the eyes and you face.

• To help cover up any dark circles under the eyes, use concealer. Dark circles are an immediate sign of tiredness, so when you cover them up, you will look more awake.

• How to look less tired has a lot to do with make your eyes appear awake, even when you're not. Use an eyelash curler to curl your lashes and put on some mascara. Your eyes will look more open and more brighter.

While chugging a big coffee may be your first instinct to help wake yourself up in the morning, this can actually be one of the worst things to do.

The first thing you should do in the morning is to drink a large glass of cold water. The water will help rehydrate the body as well as your skin, allowing you to look more awake. 

Don't skip breakfast either. Eating a meal rich in fiber and lean protein will help fuel your body for the day. Try to include some dark leafy greens into your breakfast; berries, kiwi, and Brazilian nuts are also good. Not only will you nourish your body but these foods will help promote smoother-looking skin that is well hydrated. 

Exercise

You don't need to get in a full workout, although that would be more beneficial, but you may just want to get your blood circulating. Do a few jumping jacks or go for a brisk walk to help you wake up. Doing a few light stretches and exercise will keep you more alert and focused because it wakes up both the mind and body.
