Sleep Yourself Sexy

Don’t ever wake up on the wrong side of the beauty bed again! There are all kinds of things you can do before you go to sleep to wake up to a more beautiful you! Check out these tips on how you can become an overnight (beauty) sensation!

  • NEVER go to sleep with a dirty face! No matter how late it is you should always wash your face (whether you are wearing make up or not). Check out Tyra’s Tips on how to get a perfectly clean face!
  • Prepare for sweat! Did you know it takes a full night of sleep for your skin to absorb deodorant? Put it on before bed to be 100% sweat free the next day.
  • No more bed-head! Braid your hair or wrap it in a scarf (Tyra does this every night!). This will maintain your look for the next day and help you avoid waking up to knots.
  • Redness be-gone! Want to get rid of a pimple or mild sunburn before morning? Use a beauty product with the ingredient salicylic acid (an anti-inflammatory). A strong dose of the stuff will usually fix skin problem spots overnight!

If you're having trouble getting to sleep, read about how Tyra hits the hay!

What do you always do before you go to bed? Share your bedroom beauty secrets with the inner circle!

I like to use sleep-therapy yoga to relax all my muscles (prevent stress and wrinkles!)
To remove makeup, I use baby oil. Just like olive or face-cleansing oil, it cannot clog pores. It is the cheapest, most gentle, and most effective makeup remover I have ever used- great for sensitive skin and eyes like mine. Also can be used as a moisturizer or in-bath skin softener. I reccomend buying in bulk- you'll use it ALL.

i take a very good shower, brush my teeth, wrap my hair and apply a nivea body moisturizer lotion on my body to feel fresh all the time.

I didn't know about the deodorant, but just as a tip, NEVER put your hair in a high ponytail, it hurts and brings knots to your peaceful sleep!

I MUST wash my make up off, brush my teeth, floss, put a good lotion on my hands, and put vaseline on my lips to keep them soft

Jenny Thomas

i wash my face and moisturize. brush my teeth and floss. put on hand creme and lip moisturizer. Your body replenishes itself mostly while you sleep so it is best to moisturize so it will be nicely absorbed.

Christine Macharia

My b/f asked me not to wrap my hair to bed, lol! I am trying to explain to him why it's important, any tips on how to sexify it?
