The Facial Serum That Makes Me Think I Could Be a Morning Person I am really good at falling asleep. These robust melatonin levels of mine (bless them!) render nighttime products filled with snooze-inducing ingredients like lavender and chamomile fairly low-priority. But fast-forward 8 hours, and the game totally changes. I am awful at waking up. A hot, invigorating shower helps, but typically I half-sleepwalk through my morning skincare and makeup routine ... if I even get that far.
Recently though, I was introduced to Sonya Dakar's Omega Booster hydrating serum, and my 8 a.m. wake-ups have been different ever since. I'm already a big fan of facial oil -- unlike heavier moisturizers, oils nourish my skin in a gentle, yet hydrating way that makes me never want to go back to semi-solids. Sonya's formula is special though. It contains eucalyptus and lemon extracts, which have a brightening effect and a refreshing, almost spicy scent. These elements not only even out my sleepy complexion, but also -- dare I say -- make me feel instantly more awake.
I'm not gonna say this stuff's made me as good at waking up as I am at dozing off -- but, it's the first product I've tried that's helping me get there.
