Beauty Products That Will Wake You Up Fast

by Miki Hayes

As the mornings become darker and colder, it gets harder and harder to wake up. Sure, coffee always gives a little moral support. But what about energizing beauty products that can help you wake up in the morning? I, for one, am not a morning person. The struggle to be awake and happy about it before 10 a.m. is real. Maybe it's because I physically cannot sleep before 2 a.m. Or maybe it's because I'm just lacking a really good, orange-scented face wash. Either way, I know I'm not the only one.

Oh, you're a night-owl too? Yeah, yeah, I suppose we could just try to go to bed a little earlier. Or. OR. We could just use some new awesome-smelling skincare that will help energize us in the morning. (Citrus scents are perfect for stimulating the senses.) And don't worry, if just changing your face wash won't cut it, there are plenty of options to try. So whether you just need a little something extra, or a whole routine to help get going in the AM, here are eight skin and haircare products that will change your morning shower from something you usually just talk yourself out of because snooze button, to something that can actually jumpstart your entire day.
