Get Your Blood Pumping

Have you ever noticed how flushed and refreshed your face looks after doing a bit of cardio? After wiping off your sweat, you’ll notice that there is color in your face and skin in general. This is mostly due to better circulation after working out. So, before you leave for work. Try to schedule a trip to the gym. A good workout can help wake you up without caffeine. The surge of energy occurs after a few minutes of exercise. This helps wake up the bones, the organs, the muscles and the mind. Your workout sends a signal to your brain telling you that it needs to wake up and get ready for the day. This also increases the blood pumping in your veins, giving you that natural looking glow without any makeup. If you don’t like going to the gym, dedicate at least 15 minutes of intense cardio, dance workout, cycling, speed walking and so on before you get in the shower.

Adding Color

If your appearance is already dull, you don’t really want to wear anything that is dull. Adding a bit of color to your outfit can add more life and brightness to your appearance. Not only will it make you look more awake, it will also enhance your mood. Colors that are bright and easy on the eyes can make you feel positive and gleeful. Dark colors can tend to damper the mood and cast dark shadows on your appearance, make you look a lot paler or tired. Though, not all colors will look good. Other bright colors can actually wash you out. It’s important to play with the tone of your skin. If you are warm toned opt for browns, green, ivory, yellows and oranges. For cool tones opt for pinks, purples, blues, magentas and pure whites. You don’t have to go overboard with color. Simply wearing the right accessory near your face can make you look more awake.
