How to wake up looking refreshed and ready to go!

Tired of waking up with blemishes to battle, unruly hair to tame, and eye bags to contend with? Well, thanks to the latest TikTok trend coined the “morning shed”, you can wake up looking (and feeling) a new level of refreshed. So, join us as we delve into the steps involved and share some TikTok-approved product recs – soft skin and shiny hair, coming right up!

What is the morning shed trend?

The morning shed trend found its fame on TikTok and refers to the process of layering night skincare and haircare products before “shedding”, a.k.a taking/washing them off come morning. Products such as night creams, overnight lip masks, hair masks and heatless curling rods are all used in a bid for smooth, shiny hair and glowing skin.

Night skincare and haircare routine

Step 1: Use a blemish treatment

If any stubborn blemishes or spots are lingering, applying treatments such as spot sticks, patches or gels can help to soothe inflammation and promote faster healing while you snooze.

Step 2: Apply a rich night cream

After you’ve applied all of your other pre-bed lotions and potions, make sure to finish up with a hydrating night cream. These are usually a thicker consistency than regular face creams to help prevent moisture loss and reveal plumper and brighter skin.

Step 5: Wrap your hair around heatless curling rods

Whether you blow dry your hair first or go straight in with damp hair, heatless curlers involve wrapping your hair around silk or satin rods. The idea is that when you wake up, you’ll have bouncy, blow-out curls – no salon trip necessary.

Step 6: Coat your hair in an overnight hair mask

If you skipped the heatless curling step, why not treat your tresses to an overnight hair mask? These hydration-boosting treatments draw upon oils and butters to smooth frizz, strengthen your strands and promote shine. In the morning, wash it out and admire your silky soft hair.
