We all know that getting enough rest is key to taking care of ourselves. But unfortunately, the college lifestyle hardly lends itself to the prime eight hours of shut eye. Here are some tips to fake that awake and refreshed look!
Hydration
Skin is often the first thing that suffers from lack of sleep. Keep your complexion dewy by drinking lots of water and moisturizing your skin every day. For tackling under-eye circles, moisturizing cream specifically for eyes is a must.
