Beat the signs of Skin Fatigue.
When you’re tired, it shows on your skin… You can change that.
There are nights when sleep evades you. There are nights that your sleep is restless. You may have pulled an ‘all-nighter,’ or woken up thinking, roll on bedtime tonight. After nights like these, you likely have that telltale look of too little sleep. Many show signs of fatigue with dark circles under their eyes and some puffiness. But looking tired goes beyond this. It's a mix of how stress and fatigue affect both your body and skin.
Tired skin is difficult to hide and impossible to cover up. For this reason, it's most effective to give your skin some TLC. Piling on concealer can exacerbate the problem and extend the duration of a cure. If you're dealing with tired, stressed skin from lack of sleep, there are ways to hide it. They can help you fake an 8 hour sleep until your sleep pattern is back on track.
Dark Circles
Despite what you’ve heard, the purple colour below your eyes doesn’t get darker when you’re tired. It looks darker because the skin around your eyes has become dehydrated, which allows the purple colour to show through. Please don’t cover them up with concealer. Dehydration makes your skin look dull. It deepens the dark circles under your eyes. If dehydrated and/or dry, your skin will ‘feast’ on the moisture from your make-up. Leaving the colour pigment from your product sitting on your skin’s surface. This appears as unsightly dry patches. Dehydration in your skin shows lines, which should not be confused with wrinkles. These are lines of dehydration. Drink plenty of water. Then, apply a rehydrating treatment, like Rehydrating Concentrate. The formula gives your skin an immediate boost of hydration and then provides moisture throughout the day
Puffy Eyes
Tired skin retains water near the eyes in efforts to stay hydrated, leading to puffy eyes. They not only scream "I didn't sleep," but also cast shadows under your eyes, making dark circles look worse. A cool compress can help. Even better, use Anti-Fatigue Eye Masks. They will brighten and reduce puffiness, dark circles and droopy eyelids. Refrigerate them for 5 minutes before use and the cool temperature will work as a cold compress.
Fine lines
Like dark circles, fine lines stem from the dehydration your skin endures due to a lack of sleep and stress. Everyday use Multi-Tasking Eye & Lip Balm. Over time it addresses the 5 signs of ageing around your eyes. Lines, wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles. It provides your eye area with a smooth, soft cushion. This is the ideal base for a flawless, long-lasting concealer finish.
Dull, lacklustre skin
Dead cells cause skin dullness, which becomes a bigger problem when your body hasn't had enough time overnight to regenerate. A skin brightening hack is exfoliation. Give your skin a helping hand by removing dulling dead cells. Reveal radiant skin that's more receptive to the hydrating ingredients from your products. Essential Exfoliating Gel is a gentle, non-abrasive option. It packs a powerful exfoliating punch and it is gentle on your tired, fragile skin.
Finally, the secret weapon in your skincare arsenal is the Anti-Fatigue Mask. It gives you radiant skin in 2 minutes! In the time it takes to brush your teeth! It transforms your skin from sallow and dehydrated to radiant, plump and smooth. This is thanks to a hydra flash effect. It sends water from your cells to your skin's surface. This gives your skin an energising kick-start. It shrinks dehydrated and open pores to give you the smoothest, plump, hydrated skin. The perfect porcelain canvas for your make-up. Forget any pitying looks. The Anti-Fatigue Mask will fill your day with skin compliments.
