    Go through your closet and purge everything that you don't feel good or comfortable in. Then, organize your clothes by style, sleeve length, and so on. That way, when you're getting ready, it will be easy to immediately see everything you need.
  • Question
    What if I'm not able to exercise in the morning?
    Community Answer
    Exercising later in the day is great too, and it can help you sleep better. Maybe try to fit in a few easy little exercises in the morning, like a minute or two of planks or a few jumping jacks while the coffee is brewing.
  • Question
    Why is makeup such a bad choice?
    Community Answer
    Makeup isn't really that bad, only if you don't remove it. If you have open pores, the makeup will clog them up either becoming a black head or white head.
  • Question
    How do I look good in the morning if I always look like I have dirt on my face when I wake up even though I wash it and exfoliate every night?

    Perhaps you need to wash your pillowcases more often if you are going to bed with a clean face and waking up with a dirty one.

  • Question
    What can I do if my face is very oily every morning when I wake up?
    Community Answer
    Wash your face. If your face is still oily then you can go buy some special cream designed for oily skin and wash your face with that.
  • Question
    What do I do if I have dead skin in the morning after applying my makeup?
    Community Answer
    Your best bet is to remove your makeup and use an exfoliating face wash and moisturizer, then apply the makeup again. Make this your regular morning routine - face wash, then moisturizer, then makeup.
  • Question
    How do I look good when also walking in the morning?
    Community Answer
    Walking is great, and it's mentioned in the article. Exercise is key to having a fresh, healthy glow. When you get to where you're going, you can always duck into the restroom and wipe your face if you've been sweating. Consider bringing along oil-absorbing pads to dab at your face with.
  • Question
    How do I make my eyes look fresh?
    Community Answer
    Apply something like a cold spoon, frozen cotton pad, or a cotton pad soaked in cold milk to your under-eye area (milk has vitamins that naturally wake up your skin). You should also put in some eye drops if you feel like your eyes are dry, stinging, or saggy, and try to drink at least 2 glasses of water right when you wake up.
  • Question
    What do I do to my face so that it stays clear, and not red and blotchy, after is has been washed?
    Community Answer
    Both scrubbing and heat/freezing cold can cause red blotches after washing. So, try not to dry your face by scrubbing with a towel but instead pat it gently. And don't use extreme temperatures to wash it; aim for washing in lukewarm water only.
