We’ve all had mornings when it feels like we’re just sleep-walking through the day, having barely woken up in the first place. But there are things you can incorporate into your morning routine that can help to properly shake off sleep and give you the best possible start to the day. For instance, plenty of studies have shown that scent can do powerful things to the brain, including playing an important role in the physiological effects of mood, stress and working capacity. Smell can also be a powerful memory trigger; if there’s a sharp scent or a smell you’ve associated with mornings for some time, eg coffee, mint or zesty citrus, it tracks that working it into your routine could help you feel more alert for the day.

On top of that, feeling cold can alter your cardiac autonomic response, which essentially means your heart rate increases. While we’re not suggesting everybody take ice baths every morning, there are subtler ways you can introduce cold sensations into your wake-up routine. With all that in mind, here’s a roundup of beauty products that can help you craft a morning routine that wakes you up and gives you something lovely to get out of bed for.
