We’ve all been there. Your alarm goes off, and instead of seizing the day, you seize the snooze button… again. Before you know it, you’re running late and scrambling to pull yourself together. Sound familiar?
Becoming a morning person might feel like an impossible dream, but with a few clever tricks (and some help from your skincare routine), you can kick those snooze habits to the curb. Here’s how to start your day strong—and glowing.
1. Set the Scene the Night Before
Preparation is the ultimate power move. Before you hit the hay, set out everything you need for your morning ritual—your clothes, your to-do list, and most importantly, your skincare.
Before bed, give your skin the care it deserves with Grimoire’s Nightmare Away, a deeply hydrating and rejuvenating night cream. Packed with nourishing ingredients, it works overtime while you sleep to ensure you wake up with refreshed, plump skin.
2. Move Your Alarm (Far, Far Away)
If your phone is within arm’s reach, you’ll keep hitting snooze. Place your alarm across the room so you’re forced to physically get out of bed to turn it off. Or, even better, in the bathroom so you can immediately wash your face and grab your Eye Roll. Its energizing blend of caffeine and Vitamin C will wake up your under-eye area and help you look more alive than you feel.
Pro tip: Make your alarm tone something upbeat and motivating, so you’re not tempted to crawl back under the covers.
3. Brighten Your Morning (Literally)
Natural light is a game-changer when it comes to waking up. Open your curtains or invest in a sunrise alarm clock to gently mimic the effect of daylight. The glow on your skin, though? That’s all Vanity Monday. This brightening serum is packed with Sea Buckthorn and Micro Super Greens to give your skin an instant radiance boost—perfect for faking a full eight hours of sleep.
4. Hydrate Before Coffee
We know, it’s tempting to go straight for your morning caffeine fix, but your body needs water to rehydrate after a night of rest. Keep a glass by your bed and take a few sips before you even leave the room. It’s a simple habit that’ll help you feel more awake and energized.
5. Start Small, Then Build Momentum
If the thought of a full morning routine feels daunting, start with just one or two steps. Washing your face and applying Vanity Monday takes less than two minutes but sets the tone for the rest of your day. Once you’ve mastered the basics, you can add in other feel-good rituals like journaling, stretching, or a quick workout.
