HOW I WAKE MY FACE UP IN THE MORNING.

I would consider myself a morning person, but not a “hit the ground running” type of person. I am more of a slow riser and need a little TLC in the morning. So what do I do besides guzzle coffee to wake my mind and skin up in the morning?

Let’s discuss!

I typically wake up at 6:30 AM with tired eyes and a puffy face, cute right? I work from home, so I do not immediately wash my face first thing in the morning. Instead, I take a clean washcloth and run it under hot water, then hold the washcloth over my eyes and press/rub gently… I get the cloth hot again and repeat this process for maybe a minute or two.

After I feel alive again I may or may not use eye drops (it just depends on how red my eyes are that morning). If I do need drops that day I will apply and then hold the warm rag over my eyes again. After that, I wipe my face with the cloth, then massage my face with my current FAVORITE face oil by SUNDAY RILEY. After this, we head downstairs and start part two!

If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably seen my stories where I post myself with my collagen eye masks on and ice rolling my face. I can NOT say enough about how important this is to my AM routine. The cold eye masks and ice roller feel so soothing on my face and I immediately feel refreshed, relaxed, and ready to tackle the workday!

Why do I do this every single morning? Let’s talk skin benefits!

Collagen Eye Masks:

1. Moisturizes dry, dull skin and refresh the appearance of tired eyes.
2. Improve fine lines and wrinkles.
3. Boosts collagen production to reduce signs of aging.
4. Repairs skin tissue and increase the growth of new cells to plump skin.
5. Enhances skin elasticity.
6. Brightens and tightens the undereye area.

Now let’s talk ice rolling. Why should I start using an ice roller on my face?

1. Reduces puffiness and inflammation.
2. Tones and tightens (we all need that lift ladies)
3. Relax migraine tension (we all have those hangover days lol).
4. Reduce pores, redness and improve skin texture.
5. MOST IMPORTANTLY… Improves lymphatic drainage, ridding toxins from the system.

This is the roller I use and it comes with a full face gel mask as well. I use this occasionally, but the roller is my everyday “go-to”. The reason I went with this brand (from Amazon), is because the set is actually less expensive than other brands that just offer the roller.

And that’s it! My everyday AM routine to wake my face up! Curious to know, do you use an ice roller, or collagen masks frequently? Let me know in the comments below. Also, if you WANT to start may always click the pic to shop!
