Whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, everyone wants to wake up feeling restored, refreshed and ready to take on the day. The key to setting yourself up for sunrise success is what you do in the morning.
Looking to pump up your morning routine? Here are seven Kenvue-approved tips to help you feel revitalized throughout the day. Talk to a healthcare professional if you have any specific questions or concerns.
1. Get in an early workout
Exercise has been found to help improve mood, alertness, focus and overall energy throughout the day. Find an activity you enjoy — whether that’s walking, running or weights at the gym — and make it a part of your morning routine.
But in case you overdo it at the gym, Tylenol® Precise® Cooling Pain Relieving Cream is a topical treatment formulated with a maximum-strength combination of lidocaine and menthol available without a prescription, that provides targeted pain relief with a cooling sensation for minor joint and muscle pain.
2. Take a cool shower
After that workout, refresh your scalp and awaken your senses with OGX® Rosemary Mint Extra Strength Shampoo, a clarifying hair wash infused with rosemary, peppermint and witch hazel that helps remove oil, residue and buildup. Pair it with OGX® Rosemary Mint Extra Strength Conditioner to leave hair looking shiny and nourished for the day ahead.
3. Supercharge your skin with a hydrating cleanser
Wake up with Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Hydrating Gel Cleanser with Hyaluronic Acid: This dermatologist-tested, lightweight cleanser is suitable for normal to dry skin types — and is clinically proven to increase skin hydration while respecting your skin’s vital moisture barrier.
4. Swish with a mouthwash
Oral care should always be part of your morning routine: Protect your mouth with LISTERINE® Cool Mint® Mouthwash. This antiseptic formula kills 99.9% of germs that cause bad breath, plaque and gingivitis. Using it twice daily can help you get a fresher and cleaner mouth than brushing alone.
5. Maximize moisture
Are you going through menopause or perimenopause? Dry skin is one of the most common symptoms, with 23% of females between the ages of 40 and 65 reporting dry body skin and 14% reporting dry facial skin.* Use a clinically-tested facial moisturizer like Versalie™ MAX THE MOISTURE™ to restore moisture and provide 48-hour hydration for a smooth, supple complexion.
6. Be sure to stay hydrated
Water is vital to every biological process, from transporting nutrients to regulating the temperature in your body. Making water your drink of choice in the morning, can help you experience the benefits of hydration, like improved mental cognition and mood, enhanced skin health and appearance, joint lubrication and even support of your kidneys and cardiovascular system.
7. Create an evening routine
Nothing helps a morning routine like a good evening routine that sets you up for better sleep, giving your body time to recharge and refresh. Wash off the stress of the day with Clean & Clear® Night Relaxing Facial Cleanser. The nourishing face wash, with hyaluronic acid and sea kelp extract, gently removes oil, pore-clogging impurities and daily build-up without drying skin, while the addition of MoodScentz™ technology connects the power of scent and mood to help you relax.
Then replenish with products that help you unwind, like Aveeno® Stress Relief Moisturizing Lotion with Lavender Scent. Combining the calming scent of lavender and prebiotic oat, it works to intensely hydrate skin and helps you feel calm and relaxed as you massage it into your skin.
