En español | "You look tired" is a phrase no 50-plus woman likes to hear. It's a loud and clear hint we're not coming across as fresh, healthy and attractive to others — and who needs that? Clearly some combination of stress, insomnia, the daily barrage of social media and news, family/work/health issues and a few too many late-night Netflix binges is throwing us serious shade. Here are nine ways to snap out of it with an at-home routine and a 911 fast fix.
1. Cold brew your face and bodyNo hitting the snooze button. Even if you feel and look like a zombie, a cold shower, steamy suds-up and icy rinse finish will get your senses tingling, smooth superficial creases from your face and lift any brain fog. Prefer languishing in a cozy bath? Do the cold, steamy, cool routine as you wash your face. The heated soothing cleanser part will still steam the lines and the cold will give your circulation a jolt.
2.Timing and technique matter. Think of a "tired" face like a deflated balloon, a "fresh" face like a round inflated one. If you lightly blot your face and immediately apply your hydrating cream or oil, skin gets plumped up. Wait five minutes, or 20, and you've lost that absorption window when emollients work best. Gently massage moisturizer into face, neck and décolletage for two or three minutes. This helps relax tension lines and gets a glow going.
3. Freshen eyes ASAPThe skin here is super thin and dry. It not only shows fatigue first, but amplifies it by going red, puffy, dark-circled and saggy. Clarify the "whites" with fast-acting drugstore drops like Lumify by Bausch & Lomb ($12, Target) or Alcon Naphcon-A Eye Drops ($11, target.com) both staples in A-list celeb makeup artist kits. Next a caffeine-packed eye cream like Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Anti-Puff Eye Roller ($8, target.com) with vitamin C and caffeine, cool metallic roller tip soothes or Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel De-Puffing Eye Gel with caffeine and cucumber ($10, target.
com) — chilled if possible (keep it on call in the fridge) — to soothe and reduce swelling and discoloration. No drops or cream handy? Check the freezer for frozen peas or blueberries and apply the icy bag over closed lids for five minutes. Or try cooled tea bags.
When you look tired, stressed mature skin either gets temperamental (sensitive, ruddy and possibly prone to breakouts) or it can go desert dry (ashy, sallow), and expression lines and wrinkles seem to sink deeper. Either way, a creamy, dewy stick foundation with a wide range of 30-40 shades like Flesh Firm Flesh ThickStick Foundation ($18, ulta.com), Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Stick ($46, sephora.com) or Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick ($46, sephora.com) pulls your face together fast. Pricey? Yes, but when you're aiming for authenticity instead of a mask, multipurpose coverage pays off. Using fingers, makeup brushes or sponges, dab and blend the foundation stick where and when needed on red, brown, blue or violet discolorations.
Instinct says go sunny and beachy — but hold it right there. Don’t reach for a self-tanner or bronzing powder. That's OK for your best days. But to restore a glow, grab a creamy pink or peach blush like Revlon Insta-Blush ($8, Target) or e.l.f. Beautifully Bare Blush ($4 target.com) and give cheeks a yoga-class flush in seconds.
Now's not the time for smoky dark eyes — black liner and dark brown shadows can look sexy at night in dim light, but they'll drag you down during the day. To restore sparkle, choose a nude palette in light to medium shades of mauve, peach and shimmery taupe like Maybelline Total Temptation Eyeshadow + Highlight Palette ($9, target.com) or NYX Professional Makeup Eyeshadow Palette in Soft & Rosy ($8, target.com). The combo of muted brown liner and mascara and pale shimmer on your upper lids restores shape and keeps the emphasis there. Skip makeup beneath the eyes, where liner and mascara can emphasize bags and crepey skin.
Pulling hair back or wearing it up can exacerbate a fatigued look, especially if hair is pulled too sleek and tight. Always let a few pieces float or cut feathery bangs if ponytails are your thing. Keep your hair loose, tousled and free and play up texture, wave or color. Yes, it's a distraction but one that works and makes you look lively, animated. Consider getting highlights around the face — it adds a frame of light just where you need it.
8. Wear cheerful vibrant colorsA white shirt is a classic brightener and black makes us feel slim and chic, but juicy colors like orange, red, raspberry, yellow and bright blue signal an energetic attitude. Ditto to splashy prints, stripes — even in a scarf. When feeling blah, throw on some color. It’s an instant pick-me-up.
Let's say you're already at work, a meeting, a party or a restaurant when a "frenemy" delivers the "you look tired" news.
Grab an ice cube and head for the restroom. Rub the cube (or pat hands splashed with icy water) over your face right over face makeup. It revs up circulation like a cold shower. Brush your teeth or rinse your mouth with fresh water. Yawn to relax your jaw and de-tense facial muscles that exacerbate lines. Bend at the waist, run your hands through your hair and flip it back. Unbutton your blouse or shirt to a V to show more neck and upper chest, roll up your sleeves to show forearms, or take off your jacket or cardigan and go sleeveless — don't let it all be about your face. If possible, take a brief brisk walk. Movement has a caffeine-like effect that makes you look more alert. Breathe deeply from your diaphragm, five counts out and five counts in. Sit and stand up straight — no slouching — to appear more energetic. Add some statement glasses and bling. And smile: instant facelift.

In need of some tips on how to look less tired that really do work? Here’s my list of 14 simple ways to stop looking tired all the time. The first set of tips deal specifically with facial care and the second focus on lifesytle changes – every tip is an absolute winner.
It can be really disheartening to look in the mirror, see a tired, worn-out face looking back at you and think ‘why do I always look so tired and washed out?’. Especially if you’ve had a good night’s sleep.
Or that ego-crushing feeling you get when someone – quite often your mother – greets you with ‘ooh you look tired!’ It cuts particularly deep when you are (were) feeling totally fine.
I’ve been there and I know how frustrating it can be. So I’ve spent time researching how to look less tired.
It turns out there are plenty of great ways to fix a tired looking face and in particular, how to make your eyes look less tired.
First up, here are some facial care tips to help you fix a tired looking face and make it look fresh again.
First up, if you want to look less tired you need to give your skin cell renewal a bit of support through regular exfoliation.
This is particularly important as you age and during the winter months. No one wants to start looking tired and haggard as the winter months draw on and the years pass by!
I’m a massive fan of using chemical exfoliants rather than physical exfoliants. My current exfoliant of choice is glycolic acid.
Glycolic acid dissolves the top layer of dead skin cells and resurfaces the skin. This allows new, active, skin cells to come to the surface. Which makes your face look brighter and your skin look plumper.
I’ve been using Pixi Glow Tonic for a few years now and I absolutely LOVE it.
I tend to stock up on Pixi Glow Tonic at Boots but you can also buy it on Amazon.
Once you’ve dealt with freshening up your skin through exfoliation, you can look at what you can put on your skin to make it look less tired.

Dry skin tends to look like tired skin, because it doesn’t have the bounce and glow of hydrated skin.
Of course simply increasing your water intake is a big step towards keeping you skin hydrated and I mention this in the lifestyle tips.
However, you can also give your skin a huge helping hand to stay hydrated by using a product that contains hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid has become a bit of a buzz ingredient over the last few years and it’s easy to understand why. Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that occurs naturally in the body. Humectants attract and lock in moisture.
So if you use hyaluronic acid with a good water based moisturiser, your skin will look and feel lovely and hydrated.
My pick: Hydraluron by Indeed LabsI am a HUGE fan of the cult beauty hyaluronic acid product Hydraluron by Indeed Labs.
I tend to use it whilst my skin is still damp, to lock the moisture in, followed by moisturiser over the top.
Hydraluron makes my skin look more plump and smooth which goes a long way to helping me look fresher and less tired.
I always keep an eye on whether Boots has a special offer on for Hydraluron but I also make use of Amazon Subscribe & Save, because it’s a product I don’t like running out of. If I get lucky at Boots, I just skip a delivery of Subscribe & Save.
My Pick
Indeed Labs Hydraluron Moisture Serum, 30 ml
£16.66 (£55.53 / 100 ml)
You can use Subscribe & Save on Hydraluron, which is a nice way to never run out whilst also saving some money!

TOP TIP: MOISTURISE WHILST YOUR SKIN IS DAMP OR WETFollowing on from the above tip on rehydrating, another great tip to make your skin look less tired is to moisturise whilst your skin is still damp, as damp skin absorbs moisturiser more easily.
Now facial massage is something I only recently tuned into as a way to stop my face looking tired. I must admit I’d been very ‘yeah whatever’ about the benefits of facial massage until then.
What changed my mind was going for a facial massage at my local beauty salon.
The results of 45 minutes of a therapist doing nothing more than massaging my face quite literally blew my mind. My nasolabial lines had disappeared and my skin looked plumper and more alive than it had in weeks.
The effects of the facial massage gradually faded over the course of a week, so that is when I looked into how to do facial massage on myself to make my face look less tired and more fresh and glowing.
Facial massage works by boosting the circulation of blood to the skin and firming and toning the skin by giving it a bit of a workout. It can help reduce puffiness and it also encourages lymphatic drainage (lymphatic fluid helps remove toxins and waste) and encourages the release of endorphins, which makes you look and feel fresher and more awake.
Clearly most of us don’t have much spare time for facial massage in the morning, but it’s well worth even adapting how you apply your facial moisturiser to spend a minute massaging it in.
I find the best time to do a little facial massage is in the evening, when I can usually spare a whole five minutes!!
I use my favourite massage oil, which is Dr Organic Rose Otto Facial Serum, which has the most uplifting fragrance of any facial oil. It is made up of a blend of different oils, including almond and argan oil, plus of course wonderful rose essential oil.
My skin always looks plump and calm after I’ve massaged my skin with it. I tend to buy Dr Organic Rose Otto Facial Serum from Holland & Barrett but you can also buy it over on Amazon.

There are lots of facial massage how-to videos on YouTube. The one I really like is by Abigail James: YouTube video
Now, it is said that the eyes are the window to the soul, but they can also be the biggest factor in looking tired and washed out.
So next, I’m going to focus on things you can do to make your eyes look less tired.
The skin under the eye area is really thin and delicate, which is why it really shows signs of tiredness.
It’s also why we need to treat it really gently and carefully.
The formulation of eye cream is lighter than most facial moisturisers, which is why it is worth buying a separate eye cream.
Good ingredients to look out for in eye creams are hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and Coenzyme Q10.
Coenzyme Q10 is an absolute power-ingredient in beauty products because it is packed with antioxidants and helps to repair and regenerate skin cells.
My Pick
NIVEA Q10 Power Eye Cream
£5.74 (£38.27 / 100 ml)
This is one of the best, most reliable eye-creams out there, mainly because Coenzyme Q10 is one of the best active ingredients in skincare. I LOVE this stuff!

Dark circles under the eye are a particular problem when it comes to looking more tired than you actually are.
The thing with dark circles is that they are often hereditary. Plus they become more visible as you age.
This is because the skin under the eyes is super thin and gets thinner as we age, so the blood pooled beneath becomes more obvious.
Allergies and a poor diet can also contribute to dark circles looking worse.
Caffeine is a good active ingredient specifically for temporarily reducing dark circles, as it is said to help boost circulation and constrict blood vessels.
Of course the hope with eye cream is that it will reduce the look of puffiness and improve the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.
The Ordinary is the most brilliant range of really well-priced skincare products. There’s no fancy packaging and no fancy marketing to bump up the prices.
Love this stuff!
One thing that is often overlooked is HOW MUCH eye cream to use and HOW to apply it.
You should only use a pea-sized amount of eye cream, less is definitely more, as you don’t want to overload the skin.
A great trick I was taught by a leading facialist during my time PRing leading beauty brands is to use your middle finger to apply eye cream, as it gives a lighter touch than using your forefinger.
So, using your middle finger, start by applying the cream around the orbital bones (that’s the bones around your eye socket) and then start gently tapping or lightly massaging the cream in, going from the inner corner of your eye and making your way to the outer corner.
One of the best ways to get rid of tired eyes in the morning is to use eye drops. They are also a great way for your eyes to look less tired during the day, especially after a day spent staring unblinkingly at screens.
Eye drops will moisturise your eyes and clarify the whites of your eyes, so that your eyes not only look less tired, they feel less tired too.
My pick: Optrex Double Action Eye Drops For Tired Eyes
I have been using these eye drops for the last couple of years and they really make a difference. I tend to put them in first thing in the morning and then have them with me in my bag so I can use them through the day.
They are particularly good to use after staring at a screen for several hours!

Well, that’s it for your facial care tips.
So let’s move onto some lifestyle changes you can make to ensure you stop looking so tired.
Here are some really valuable to know overall lifestyle changes you can make that will help ensure you look less tired.
Ok, so starting with the seemingly obvious here.
But wait before you roll your eyes…
On average, adults need between seven to nine hours of sleep per night.
There is no such thing as ‘catching up on sleep’.
So figure out how much sleep makes you feel good the next morning and then try and stick to this amount.
Day in, day out.
This may well mean getting up EARLIER at the weekends, but try it, you might like it.
Here are some great ideas on how to get a better night’s sleep.
It is amazing how well your face can look if you exercise regularly.
But I know that starting an exercise routine when you’re not in the habit can be a big thing.
You need to be in the right frame of mind to get that exercise habit started.
But there is something simple you can do to help your body and in turn, stop looking tired.
Walking.
Moving around instead of spending endless hours sat at a desk, sat in the car, sat at home, can give your body the pep it needs.
Staying static for long periods causes lethargy and drains our energy levels.
Your body thinks that it is heading for sleep, so it winds down all its processes.
Sitting staring at a screen for hours can lead to dry, tired eyes that have fine lines all around them.
So get up and move around.
If you’re desk-bound at work, get up for five minutes every hour and walk around.
Combine one of those walks with getting your ten minutes of daylight.
If you’re at home or in the car a lot, look at ways you can build walking into your everyday life.
It is amazing how much better you can feel if you just get your body moving.
I know how hard it is to build exercise and movement into your daily life, especially when you feel like you don’t have a spare moment.
But it is SO important. I’ve got a post on simple ways to build exercise into daily life: How to build exercise into daily life.
Breathing.
We all do it.
But we don’t all do it in the right way to get the oxygen we need.
Especially if we’re running around and stressed.
Shallow, quick breathing leaves us lacking in oxygen.
Alongside raised blood pressure and increased heart rate, a lack of oxygen can cause bad circulation… see where I’m going with this… which can make us look tired and washed out.
So taking a few minutes to take some deep breaths can really help.
I’ve got a whole post on the benefits of deep breathing for relaxation, it includes a video on a really easy deep breathing exercise. Read it here: Just breathe!
Next, some dietary changes you can make that will have a positive effect.
Ok, I know sugar is the current baddie of the food world.
But there is good reason for this.
Let me count the ways that too much sugar will have you looking (and feeling) wrung out.
Make no mistake, for most of us, it is an addiction.
But it can be done.
I know, because I’ve done it.
It’s not that I live without sugar in my life, but I have managed to cut it right back.
But I can walk down the confectionary aisle in the supermarket and not even flinch.
Even when I’m hungry.
That is a MASSIVE change in eating habits for me.
Here’s my post on the best way to go about it in my experience: How to quit eating sugar
Yes, I know.
It’s the thing we all want to reach for to ‘wake us up’ in the morning.
But caffeine, it’s not so good.
First off, it is a diuretic.
This means it makes you pee more.
Which means that caffeine is causing you to dehydrate.
As you’ll know from tip 4, keeping hydrated is super important when working out how to stop looking tired.
Second up, caffeine kills off antioxidants.
Antioxidants protect your skin’s elastin.
Lose the elasticity in your skin and you’re on the way to ageing your skin. FAST.
So keep caffeine, through coffee or black tea, intake to no more than a couple of small SMALL mugs per day.
Switch to green tea, which has less caffeine than black tea.
Go for decaffeinated versions – though be careful to choose naturally decaffeinated rather than chemically decaffeinated with solvents (er, yuk).
Clipper Tea does a lovely decaf black tea, which is naturally decaffeinated using carbon dioxide.

Dehydration causes us to look and feel tired.
But we don’t always cotton on to this.
If our blood volume lowers we don’t get as much blood to our brain, so our heart has to work harder to get the blood there.
This means blood is diverted away from fewer places where it is needed less urgently, places like our faces.
So we end up looking washed out.
But this is easily remedied by, you’ve guessed it, drinking more water.
Water is the key by the way – not tea or coffee (which are diuretics, see tip 8 below) or sugary drinks (see tip 7 below).
Aim to drink a good size glass of water first thing in the morning and a smaller glass last thing at night.
Then drink water steadily through the day.
Learn to understand when you feel thirsty – thirst can often be mistaken for hunger.
I always have a stainless steel (#PlasticFree) Chilly bottle in my bag when I’m out and about.
Plus I always have a glass of water on my desk when I’m working.

We get top-ups of vitamin D through exposure to sunlight.
If we’re lucky we get bucket loads of it in the summer months.
But come the winter it is bye-bye vitamin D fix.
You most likely think of Vitamin D as being important for bones.
However, it is also important for guarding against illness AND stopping us from feeling tired and lethargic.
There are three things you can do to up your vitamin D intake:
And finally, to help you in the fight to stop looking so tired all of the time… I’ve got a couple of great tips for things you can buy that will help save your face from looking washed out, crumpled and tired.
Cotton is often the fabric of choice for bedding.
But it’s not great for allowing your face to glide over its surface.
Which means that if you’re a front or side sleeper, you wake up with your face looking ‘slept in’.
The answer is to go for a silk pillowcase.
Don’t worry, that doesn’t mean you have to change your minimalist or Scandi chic bedroom into a boudoir (unless you want to).
John Lewis has some lovely silk pillowcases, I have a couple of these and I would now never have anything other than a silk pillowcase on my pillow. It really does make a difference to how my face looks when I wake up.
I’ve even been known to take a silk pillowcase when we go on holiday.

Of course sleeping on your back is the other remedy to ‘pillow-face’.
Having tried to switch to sleeping on my back more times than I care to mention, I know that this is easier said than done.
Ready for your final tip on how to stop looking tired all the time?
Ok, so ‘radiator face’ is a term I’ve made up for that horrible dry feeling you get when you spend hours in a centrally heated building.
Dry indoor air is not a friend of fresh-looking skin.
It can also make your eyes look dry and bloodshot.
Sleeping in dry, radiator heated air is particularly bad for us.
Not only do we need a nice cool room to maintain a good quality of sleep, sleeping in dry air can take moisture from skin and eyes, leaving you waking up looking like death warmed up.
So, first up, switch that heating right down or off at night.
Secondly, invest in a humidifier if you spend hours in centrally heated buildings.
Go for a cool-mist humidifier, because

Now, alongside giving you the great tips above, I thought it might we well worth sharing with you a few thoughts and facts on the things that can make you look tired.
There are many things, besides a lack of sleep, that can make you look tired. It can be particularly hard when you find yourself asking why you always look tired when you’re not actually tired or deprived of sleep!!
The reality is that there are lots of everyday stressors that can make us look more tired than we actually are.

Then take a look at a list of some of the simple changes you can make to stop yourself looking tired all the time.
Pin to save:
But what if the skin is sensitive? “During the winter months, you can try polyhydroxy acid (PHA) toners that exfoliate the skin very gently without drying it out.”
“Towards the end of the day, around 9:00 pm, the body begins to prepare for sleep by producing melatonin, an antioxidant with powerful anti-inflammatory properties,” explains Noella Gabriel. - Melatonin helps to balance the circadian rhythm, prevents inflammation and oxidative stress, which play a key role in the aging process.
When lack of sleep, stress or anxiety interferes with the biorhythm, cortisol is released in the body, it interferes with the natural production of hyaluronic acid - the main natural moisturizer. In other words, lack of sleep is a sure way to dry and dehydrated skin.
“When my patients complain of a tired look, all the external symptoms are usually concentrated in the upper third of the face, especially around the eyes,” says Dr. Mahto. “Manifestations are different: pigmentation and dark circles, wrinkles from fine to deep, bags caused by loss of volume and, as a result, sagging of the tear troughs.”
According to Dr. Mahto, hydration is the secret to a revitalized appearance. “Make sure that the area around the eyes is always well hydrated, use a quality moisturizer with caffeine or peptides for this, it will make the surface of the skin more uniform and smooth out expression lines at least temporarily. It doesn’t hurt to add a couple of products with vitamins A and C - they will help lighten dark circles by several tones.
Take a series of deep breaths - this is the simplest of all the recommendations. “Personally, I am a big fan of the deep breathing technique, it helps to relax the skin and make it softer,” says Gabriel. “Many of us sit hunched over at our desks for days on end and breathe rather shallowly, which is in vain. Breathing - real breathing - is the key to the proper functioning of the whole organism. Digestion, detoxification - all this is impossible without enough oxygen, without it our cells are simply not able to work at full capacity. Skin cells included. When you take a deep breath, the diaphragm moves down to the abdomen, allowing the lungs to expand and fill with air. The lungs saturate the blood with oxygen, and it, in turn, carries it throughout the body to support all life processes.
Some people think that if you don't leave the house, then you don't need to wash your face before going to bed. It's a delusion.
The air in the apartment is not the cleanest, and in general it is extremely important to cleanse the skin of fat and dead particles. Noella Gabriel advises washing your face in two steps. “In my opinion, cleansing is the key to beautiful skin. Start your ritual with some kind of oil cleanser to remove makeup residue and deep clean your pores, she recommends. - The second step is cleansing, aimed at specific problems of your skin - whether it's dryness or acne. The two-step wash creates fertile ground for the oils and serums you apply after."
Cosmetologists identify several main types of aging of the skin of the face and neck, which differ in correction algorithms. The first type includes the so-called "tired face", manifested by the following changes:
Gravitational ptosis occurs as a result.
Subcutaneous fat is shifted down under the influence of gravitational forces.
You cannot solve the problem yourself. Diagnosis and consultation of a competent qualified cosmetologist is necessary, who will professionally determine the degree of skin aging and select the optimal set of procedures. Specialists of the Center for Laser Cosmetology "O.K." ready to help prolong youth and restore a healthy appearance to your skin.
To combat the manifestations of "tired face", the doctors of the center use techniques that allow restoring the collagen frame of the face and providing a pronounced lifting effect.
1. 3D mesothreads: instant lifting without surgery
During the procedure, the beautician uses special ultra-thin needles and polydiaxane threads. Materials are completely biocompatible and hypoallergenic. Mesothreads allow you to strengthen the collagen frame, eliminate skin laxity, smooth out wrinkles.
The effect is noticeable immediately after the procedure, lasts up to two years. When resorbed, mesothreads nourish and moisturize the skin, have a mesotherapeutic effect.
The procedure is very effective at the first signs of gravitational ptosis and for prevention.
2. Bio-reinforcement with Radiesse
In youth, the face has a V-shape. With age, the shape changes: the cheeks droop, “flews” appear, soft tissues lose their former volume, the chin becomes sluggish. All these changes affect the proportions of the face, expanding its shape downwards.
Bio-reinforcement of with Radiesse allows you to quickly and effectively restore the lost volume of tissues, restore the V-shaped face shape. With the help of microinjections of the filler, the cosmetologist eliminates sagging cheeks, “flews”, and corrects the shape of the cheekbones. The effect lasts up to 24 months.
3. RF-lifting
The essence of the technique lies in the ability of radio waves to warm up the deep layers of the skin, activating the synthesis of new collagen.
During the procedure, the skin flap is reduced in size, causing thickening of the skin. Thanks to this, the flabbiness of the tissues disappears.
At the same time, electrodynamic, muscular activation is carried out, which tones the tissues. The oval of the face is aligned and tightened. Toned skin gains firmness and elasticity.
4. Botulinum therapy of parts of the face in the technique of lifting
With age, the corners of the eyes droop, giving the impression of a tired and sad look. With the help of Botox and Dysport injections, the beautician has the opportunity to relax some muscles and activate others, raising the eyebrows and making the look more expressive and open.
Gravitational ptosis (sagging soft tissues) becomes noticeable after 25-35 years. With the appearance of the first signs of skin aging, we recommend a series of preventive measures.
deep structural facial massage has the highest efficiency.
During its implementation, a professional massage therapist uses not only the surface layers of the dermis, but also tendons, bones, joints and muscles. Thanks to this, maximum relaxation of the muscle frame is achieved, congestion is removed, and metabolic processes are stimulated.
