How to wake up rested: 6 tricks for a fresh look in the early morning!
Waking up fresh and rested, if it is not the weekend, is practically impossible - you will think. After all, dark circles, bags and a dull and sleepy look are the first things we see in the morning when we look in the mirror. Still, waking up refreshed and looking not entirely irrecoverable is more than doable. With a few small tricks and healthy and virtuous habits, you can make the moment of awakening less traumatic for you and your body, giving your face a more beautiful and luminous appearance.
But then, how to wake up refreshed and start off well in the early morning? Below we suggest 6 super effective tricks for a fresh and rested look from the moment you wake up.
1. Get enough sleep and keep a sleep-awake rhythm as regular as possible
It may seem obvious advice, but, precisely because it is of fundamental importance, we would like to reiterate it. A peaceful and prolonged sleep, of at least 7 hours a night, is an indispensable detail to wake up fresh and rested. Not only that, even a life marked by regular rhythms and times more or less always the same helps to live less hectic and disorganized days. In this way, in fact, a sort of routine is created that will allow your body and mind to enjoy greater harmony and naturally respect their rhythms and balances.
So try, as far as possible, to go to bed more or less always at the same time so as to maintain a sleep-wake rhythm as regular as possible, avoiding finding yourself up early that cost you fatigue or on the contrary, not being able to fall asleep easily because you were late the night before. This mechanism will have significant benefits on your days, your performance and also on your physical appearance, giving you a more rested face and a more attentive and luminous look.

2. Stay away from all kinds of devices before going to bed
To fall asleep more easily and avoid falling asleep late, there is another fundamental rule to follow: stay away from technological tools and devices that keep you awake, delay the moment of sleep and have a significant impact on its quality. giving you a bad awakening.
So avoid looking at your cell phone, personal computer or iPad just before going to sleep. This is a seemingly harmless activity that stimulates you, making you more hectic and active just as you are getting ready for bed. Therefore, dedicate yourself to super relaxing activities that help you enter the right state of concentration and accompany you gently in the moment of sleep, reconciling it. Choose good old books instead. Often starting to read naturally reconciles sleep, helping you to slip into Morpheus' arms without too much effort.
3. Choose an effective eye contour
If a rested sleep is of central importance for our appearance upon awakening, the eye contour is undoubtedly one of its best allies. In these cases it becomes essential to rely on an effective eye contour able to illuminate our gaze and reduce the maximum small wrinkles and signs of fatigue around the eyes.
The skin around the eyes, after all, is 3 to 5 times thinner than the skin of the face, and is therefore more affected by the loss of tone and elasticity, more easily showing signs of fatigue, dehydration, fine lines and wrinkles. In fact, over the years, the skin loses its main component, collagen, an aspect that is one of the main causes of skin aging resulting in the formation of wrinkles, relaxation and a decrease in tone. Specifically, with age, the skin's ability to produce collagen is reduced by 75%, while the deterioration of collagen accelerates. Hyaluronic acid is the most suitable element to correct and counteract the signs of collagen loss.
Naturally present in our body, but also subject to a considerable reduction with the passage of time, hyaluronic acid is the most important molecule for elastic and hydrated skin. This is why Vichy has chosen an intensive treatment that uses 100% pure hyaluronic acid for the transformation of the eye contour in one night in a patented system.
Liftactiv Micro Hyalu Patchs consists of 160 micro-cones based on hyaluronic acid of natural origin that penetrate and melt into the skin during the night.
It is a real emergency kit that acts on the nocturnal transformation of the eye contour. In fact, in just one night it reduces wrinkles and fine lines, erases the signs of fatigue around the eyes and revitalizes the gaze, rehydrating it and making it luminous and rejuvenated. It is therefore ideal as a shock treatment before an important event. But not only: it can also be used once or more times a week, alternating with a creamy eye contour, to restore tone and volume and keep a look that is always young and luminous. .
4. Also pay attention to the quality of sleep, not just the quantity!
For a gentle awakening and a fresh and rested appearance, it is not only important to have slept at least 7-8 hours a night, but also to have slept well. Pay attention first of all to the temperature of the room: make sure it is not excessively hot and do not cover yourself too much; in this way you will guarantee a more peaceful rest, without waking up to discover yourself from too many layers or disturbed by heat and sweat.
Do not take your cell phone to bed, use a real alarm clock for the morning alarm and avoid too many sources of light and noise. A prolonged and continuous sleep is in fact essential if you want to look fresh and rested in the morning.
5. Beware of extravagance ...
Also watch out for some evening extravagance that could have a significant impact on the quality of your sleep and on an appearance that is not exactly flawless when you wake up.
Do not overdo heavy foods or foods that can cause stomach acid and gastric stress, especially if you have a late dinner. At the same time, try to abstain as much as possible from alcohol and smoking: they could have a noticeable impact on a fragmented and erratic sleep, "giving you" a not quite rested appearance in the morning. Instead, remember to stay hydrated by drinking at least two liters of water a day, and to choose a "healthy and balanced diet, rich in fiber, fruit and vegetables."
6. Play early: prepare everything the night before!
Don't be reduced to doing your usual ritual activities just before going to sleep. As soon as you get home in the evening, dedicate yourself to all the classic chores of the evening routine: fix the house, take a hot bath, wash your hair and put on your pajamas. Then let yourself go to a detox and relaxing evening that allows you to fully recover and regain strength, slowly accompanying you to sleep.
And, importantly, also think about what to wear the next day or make a list of things you need to remember in the morning: these little strategic moves will help you be more calm and organized, allowing you to waste less time waking up and leaving with the right foot and a more serene and relaxed look.
