I actually can\u2019t remember when it started, but literally every single morning I wake up saying the exact same thing: \u201cI\u2019m\u00a0so<\/em>\u00a0exhausted.\u201d And I literally am. On average, I would say I get about 7ish hours of sleep a night, maybe, if I\u2019m lucky, but the thing is, there\u2019s a distinct difference between feeling tired, and visibly\u00a0looking<\/em>\u00a0tired. You know the look. Puffy eyes, puffy face, dark circles, larger than life pores, dry skin and facial imperfections that even makeup can\u2019t seem to cover up.<\/p>\n

Yesterday was one of those days. I looked in the mirror and thought,\u00a0\u201cDo I really look like this? What did I do to deserve this? What can I do to save myself?\u201d It\u2019s days like these show how salt, alcohol or sleep deprivation can get the best of us, and it\u2019s literally painful to look in the mirror.\u00a0But feeling sorry for myself is not an option. I have written about the\u00a0best way to detox the body<\/a>, but how do we un-puff the eyes and face and make ourselves look less tired? I\u2019ve compiled my tried and true tips (that I swear by!) for how NOT to look tired \u2013 even when you are. Perfect, right? Just in time for fashion week.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0An Oxygen treatment. I get mine at\u00a0Dangene\u2019s Institute of Skinovation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Water! Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and make you look tired. Water is the key to life. On a normal day you should drink at least eight 8 oz. glasses, so when you look tired, pump that up! For those that have a water aversion like me, add lemon or\u00a0emergen-c<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Apply a facemask! Make sure you use something nourishing or hydrating, because you want plump up that tired skin. My latest skincare love is\u00a0Belif Facial Scrub<\/a>, a nourishing exfoliant made with tons of botanical and plant extracts. I recently traveled with this mask and applied right after my flights, and magically looked completely rested and pore-free! This product is a must-buy, tired or not. I\u2019m also live by\u00a0SK-II Facial Treatment Mask<\/a>. No one does it better than them. It\u2019s one of those cloth sheets that is just saturated with serum.<\/p>\n

4. Apply an eye mask. Sure, sure you just applied your face mask, but that delicate area around the eyes is one of the telltale signs of fatigue. I LOVE\u00a0Klorane<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Chantecaille<\/a>\u00a0eye masks because they\u2019re super easy to apply and perfect for travel. If they say \u2018leave on for twenty minutes\u2019, apply for one hour. I also love\u00a0Talika\u2019s Cellular Eye Contour Patch<\/a>. This brand is new for me, and what I love that the patches are inspired by aesthetic surgery techniques.<\/p>\n

5. Get moving. Take a brisk walk or go work out! I know, sometimes exercise seems like a daunting idea, but getting up and moving gives you a rosy and healthy glow.<\/p>\n

6. Always keep spoons in the freezer to combat days like this. Frozen spoons on the eyes will work wonders in the de-puff department. Take out of the freezer and leave on your eyes for as long as you can.<\/p>\n

7. Splurge on citrus. They\u2019re packed with vitamin C, and can increase energy and alertness. Add lemon to your water or down a \u00bd grapefruit. Add honey to make it a bit sweeter.<\/p>\n

8. Try an eye massage.\u00a0Clinique De-Puffing Eye Massage<\/a>\u00a0is great for on-the-go. Its like a roll-on perfume, but for your eyes. The cold metal ball instantly cools while dispensing brightening serum. I\u2019m also quite addicted to\u00a0Foreo\u2019s Illuminating Eye Massage<\/a>. Um, so sick.<\/p>\n

9. Eyedrops! I\u2019m addicted to\u00a0Rohto Cooling Eye Drops<\/a>. I keep a few around my apartment and in my makeup bag just in case. My LA bestie\u00a0Taylor<\/a>\u00a0got me involved in these. Apparently, everyone in Hollywood uses these babies.<\/p>\n

10. Concealer the eyes. Apply under the eyes and around the nose area and down the smile lines. A color that is slightly lighter than your skintone will brighten your complexion immediately. I\u2019m LOVING\u00a0RMS Beauty \u201cUn\u201d Cover Up in shade II<\/a>, which is a touch lighter than my natural color.<\/p>\n

11. Luminize. Radiant or luminizing products deflect light and make imperfections less visible. A brighter face makes you instantly look awake. My latest love is a product I just talked about,\u00a0Koh Gen Do\u2019s Aqua Illuminator<\/a>. It\u2019s the B.O.M.B. You can either mix in a large dollop in with your moisturizer OR apply directly around your eyes, cupid\u2019s bow, forehead and, of course, the brim of the nose.\u00a0Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream<\/a>\u00a0is another excellent dual-functioning product that can be used as a highlighter to brighten and nourish your skin.<\/p>\n

12. Invest in a brightening pen. Sometimes if you\u2019re lazy or just lounging around the house (but you still want to look your best), apply a brightening pen like\u00a0BY TERRY Touche Velout\u00e9e Highlighting Concealer<\/a>\u00a0or classic\u00a0YSL Touche \u00c9clat in Luminous Radiance<\/a>. These are beauty bag essentials. There also\u00a0Benefit Eye Bright<\/a>. This pink-toned, creamy stick has been one of my go-to brightening products for years. I simply apply it under my eyes and on the inside corners to wake up.<\/p>\n

13.\u00a0Sunglasses<\/a>\u00a0always do the trick.<\/p>\n

So there you go! Let me know if I missed anything or if you have any tips to share with me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
