how to wake up well
On waking, skin is at its most dehydrated, as water content is at its lowest. Skin can look dull and red - and needs to be energised and protected.
Introducing Morning Expert, a range of highly natural, fast-acting, targeted solutions which have been specifically developed to tackle morning skin concerns in order to hydrate, smooth and brighten tired-looking skin. Powered by This Works' Superblend of natural actives and brain-sharpening essential oils, its 100% natural, Functional Fragrance of Peppermint, Lavandin and Rosemary was created through brain-imaging studies. It is proven to help sharpen focus and boost morning motivation, so you can wake up well and carry out your day with both an inner and an outer glow.
A plumping 2% Hyaluronic Acid complex with Vitamin C to help hydrate and brighten tired-looking skin. Protecting and strengthening, morning expert hyaluronic serum is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid to support the replenishment of skin’s water content after overnight trans-epidermal water loss. This provides intense moisturisation to immediately restore skin’s glow, improve skin texture and support collagen production to promote youthful-looking skin. Powerful antioxidant Vitamin C helps brighten skin to leave it looking youthful, radiant and revived.
After 28 days of use by This Works’ panel:
91% said their skin felt more hydrated
82% said their skin felt firmer
Apply daily after cleansing, under moisturiser, for a softer, brighter and more radiant morning complexion.
This Work' sleep solutions are clinically proven to enhance sleep quality - no matter what your sleep concern.
Avoid using a loud alarm which jolts you out of sleep - increasing heart rate, blood pressure and stress levels. Instead, wake up well with an alarm sound which gradually takes you from deep sleep to wakefulness.
Start your day more relaxed by waking up during a dream. Train yourself to do this by adjusting your bedtime and wake-up time to REM cycles, which happen about every 90 minutes.
Drink a tall glass of water upon waking to combat overnight water loss (due to sweating, snoring, mouth breathing, and pre-sleep alcohol or dessert consumption). You are particularly prone to dehydration if you sleep less than six hours.
It's good to burn off cortisol, which rises in the morning, to prevent being in 'stress response' mode going into your day. However, avoid losing sleep in order to exercise.
Emptying your bowel in the morning rids the body of waste, reduces bloating and helps improve mood (because water in the gut can trigger anxiety and negativity, due to nerve connections between the gut and the brain).
