Getting out of bed on a weekday morning is a STRUGGLE. Whether you’re a morning person or not, no one likes dragging their comfy, warm, sleepy little self out of bed to go to work.

To help give you a wake-up call you’re actually going to look forward to, we’ve pulled together some energising, invigorating and stimulating skin care products that’ll make getting out of bed a whole lot easier.

The Body Shop Amazonian Acai Energising Radiance Mask

Using an invigorating face mask is the perfect way to start the day and it’ll instantly brighten and hydrate your skin for that wide-awake I’m-a-morning-person look. Our current fave is The Body Shop’s Amazonian Acai Energising Radiance Mask - not only will it leave your sleepy skin feeling fresh, happy and glowing, but the blend of acai berries, guarana and babassu oil helps to stimulate all of your senses so you’re ready to take on the day.

Elemis BIOTEC Skin Energising Cleanser

Elemis' BIOTEC Skin Energising Cleanser should be a staple in every sleepy gal’s morning skin care routine. If your skin is looking tired, dull and a little worse for wear (curse that late night Netflix sesh!), this foaming facial wash is your jam. It’s formulated with a trio of acids that’ll help re-charge your complexion and restore it back to its radiant self.

Frank Body Coconut Coffee Scrub

Just like your favourite cup of joe, this coffee scrub is going to wake you up and make you believe mornings aren’t actually so bad after all. It’s not just a treat to your senses – it’ll exfoliate your skin and make it look bright, healthy and smooth. Plus, it’s infused with coconut oil, which is just a good time in itself.

Origins GinZing Energy-Boosting Moisturiser

This energy-boosting facial moisturiser is packed with ginseng – a powerhouse ingredient known to fight fatigue, both when eaten and also when applied to the skin (yep – get on it!). It’s also formulated with natural caffeine extracts from coffee beans to give your skin an instant reboot.

Aveda Botanical Kinetics Energizing Eye Crème

Kick tired eyes to the kerb with a refreshing and soothing eye cream like Aveda Botanical Kinetucs Energizing Eye Crème. Formulated with liquorice root and coffee bean extracts to help reduce puffiness and the appearance of dark circles, this gem will leave you looking like you’ve actually nabbed a whole eight hours of shut-eye.
