I was inspired to write this post after getting back from NYFW. Fashion week is hectic, and there are lots of evening events aka alcohol and salty food. As a result, I would wake up with a puffy and bloated face. Almost every morning, I used my ice roller or jade roller (thank you chilly mini bar), de-puffing eye patches, and energizing eye cream. I swear I would go from zero to hero with this AM routine! Trust me, you will see such a big difference and the products are pretty cheap and on Amazon…hello primeeee! I read about these tips from Lauryn Evarts aka The Skinny Confidential and I tested all of them…she was right they 100% work! So here are my
Jade Roller
How I am just recently finding out about amazing jade rollers, when they have been around for legit centuries, I am not quite sure. Jade rollers are extremely anti-aging and phenomenal for de-puffing/de-bloating your face! While the bags under my eyes might be Chanel, I still don’t want them debuting on my face, after I leave my house in the AM. People get bags under their eyes due to fluid retention and jade rollers “roll out” the excess fluid, leaving your face that of a greek goddess. Store in the fridge/freezer for better results! Jade rollers only work if the product is authentic jade. Beware of fake jade rollers that are actually glass and dyed to mimic the color of jade. The one linked below is 100% natural and works like a charm!
Ice Roller
Looking to wake your skin up and de-puff your face? This is seriously the holy grail. Simply roll it over your eye area, cheeks, and neck. The coldness mixed with the rolling motion tightens your face and makes your face + jawline look slimmer. Contour without the contouring. I love it because it de-puffs my eye area (where I retain the most fluid) & it is quite soothing! I purchased the one below from Amazon, and it seriously is only $10.99 and prime (wasssguuuud).
De-Puffing Under Eye Gels
I LOVE under eye gels! They are soothing and make me look awake…even if that is far from the truth! I’ve tested a few different brands, and these two are my favorites. The Cucumber Peter Thomas Roth gels are great to reduce inflammation, and they really de-puff the under eye area and get rid of bags. I heard about the Honest Hazel gels from a co-worker, and she raved about them. Naturally, I had to try them, and I loved them too!! I tested them when I was flying to Paris, and they seriously made me look like I slept 9 hours & not at all like I had just walked off a 7-hour overnight flight!

Energizing Eye Cream
I just tried this eye cream and let me tell you…it works! I honestly feel the tightening, and I can visibly see the difference within 10-15 minutes. I read a few reviews that said the product is a bit drying and I could see that. However, the pros outweigh the cons, and I think it is worth it. Plus, you can layer a moisturizing eye cream underneath if you are worried about dryness. This just came out, and I think it is a game changer.
Let me know your favorite tips + tricks to look bright and beautiful in the AM!
