Faking It (A Full Night’s Sleep, That Is)

There is little worse than your polished, good-looking coworker saying, “Wow, you look tired today.” And though you most likely tried to cover the bags under your eyes with makeup, attempted to slap some blush onto your cheeks for color, she never fails to notice when you’ve had a long night. Lack of sleep can result in dehydrated, puffy, and dull skin. Luckily, whether you’re a regular party animal or just a victim of insomnia, Sonya Dakar Skincare has the products to give you the appearance of a full night’s sleep.

• First, give your skin an instant pick-me-up with our most refreshing cleanser, The Red Grapefruit Wash. This pore clarifying cleanser uses grapefruit to tighten pores and reduce puffiness, while providing an instant burst of freshness to wake you up.

• After cleansing skin, it is time to get your circulation going. Use the Enzyme Peeling Cream to slough off dry and tired skin and bring instant brightness to your complexion. You will not believe how smooth, soft, and radiant your skin will look in just minutes.

• For the sleep deprived, the eyes usually need special attention. Smooth on Bright Eyes to alleviate puffy eyes and diminish dark circles with natural skin brighteners, soothing aloe vera, and energizing antioxidants. For some extra brightening, layer with Visualift Eye Cream for intensive lifting and firming.

• Finally, reinstate the perfect amount of moisture and glow by smoothing on the lightweight Hydra-soft Lotion, followed by Omega-3 Repair. This duo will not only replenish lost moisture, but will also give skin that radiant glow that comes with a full night’s sleep.
