10 Ways to Wake Up Beautiful!

10 Ways to Wake Up Beautiful

1. Get an Early Start
Make a habit of washing your face a few hours before bed. If you wait until you're tired, you're more likely to blow it off -- allowing "toxins and dirt to stay on there all night," says dermatologist Laurie Polis of N.Y.C. Another consequence? You miss the best time to treat your skin. "At night there's more blood flow to the skin's surface, and there's nothing else on your face to interfere with absorption," Polis says.

2. Sleep on Your Back
Note to Audrey Hepburn fans: Lying on your stomach is bad for "beauty sleep." The average head weighs 7 to 8 pounds -- a lot of pressure to be putting on your face every night. In fact, many dermatologists say they can tell what side of the face people sleep on by the number of wrinkles there.

3. Get a Lift
Sleep with your head elevated on two pillows, or put the headrest area of your bed on 2- to 4-inch pieces of wood. Gravity helps lymph and blood flow so fluid won't accumulate, Polis says.

4. Save Money, Not Wrinkles
At night you don't need to worry about eye treatments smearing your makeup, so slather on the richest formula you can. Polis swears by Aquaphor: "It conditions lashes and hydrates the delicate eye skin really well."

5. Sneak a Glow
Mix a drop of self-tanner into your night cream or use a cream that contains a bit of tan-producing DHA.

6. Avoid Carb Face
To wake with defined cheekbones, eat a high-protein, low-sugar dinner (try salmon and asparagus, a natural diuretic). Skip the rice, pasta and potatoes. "When our diet's high in glycemic carbohydrates, our features take on a soft, doughy appearance," says Connecticut dermatologist Nicholas Perricone.

7. Wrap It Up
To minimize A.M. frizz, sleep on a satin pillowcase or put your hair in a silk scarf. "Those fabrics are much softer than cotton, so there's less friction," says Harry Josh, a John Frieda stylist.

8. Find Your Inner Ballerina
Pile hair into a twist on the top of your head (use a scrunchie to avoid crimping). "In the morning you'll have major volume and beautiful waves," Josh says.

9. Turn on the Hair Conditioning
Sleep with a moisturizing treatment in damp hair overnight. We like Philip B. Katira Hair Masque, but any rich conditioner will do. Rinse in the morning.

10. Pop a Rooster Pill
Trust us, we were skeptical. But after swallowing two Wake Up on Time pills at 11 P.M., we found it much easier to get out of bed seven hours later. Created by a sleep-deprived single mother, the pills contain an energizing blend of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamins B6 and B12 and guarana-seed extract. It's formulated with a coating that releases ingredients into your bloodstream toward the end of your last sleep cycle, so you wake up feeling clear-headed, not fuzzy.

If you put some serum in ur hair when its wet, you won't get fly aways. you'll find this serum in the hair product aisle at any drugstore. garnier fructis carries some that i use and thre's also one called ic frizz buster. they have them separated depending on your hair type... good luck ;)

francism, Your profile says you are Male? Anyway, The site you refer to is a commercial presentation designed to sell products. True beauty comes from within! I tell you this not only coz Im butt ugly, but if you worry too much about your outward appearance you neglect your Spiritual self which gives you that complete worth that true men look for in a Woman.

stevethetyke i hope if you don't mind, the list are ways, it is not necessarily that you have do all those things, that is why it is entitled ways, you can even have your own way to wake up beautiful just like VB just added.. after all those are suggested ways from the experts especially from Yahoo site.. better click the link...

I agree with you, Yes spinal posture is more important, then do not follow that way, as simple as that..

Thanks for your comment though.. Have a good night sleep and wake up beautiful :)

GOOD LORD! By the the time you've gone through that list, It will be time to get up! And Vivo bonito, Your absolutely right!

Cant say I agree with number 3 though, Its more important to take care of your spinal posture than worry about lymph drainage,imho.
