Like most of the teenage population, my mornings are usually a combination of zombie-like grouchiness towards the person who woke me up, along with an 'I don't have time' mentality towards my hair and makeup. I'm definitely not someone who bothers with makeup for school, since I am perfectly comfortable with myself without the makeup, I only wear it because I enjoy it. My hair on the other hand, because it is naturally very curly, takes some quick morning taming.
For my skin, my usual morning routine is just to wash my face with my Clarins shea butter Foaming Cleanser and apply a layer of Ahava Daytime Moisturiser. These products are great for those rushed mornings because they are quick, easy and very refreshing, especially on my usual 6 hours sleep. I will be doing a full skincare routine in the future, but with half an hour to get ready I don't really have time to faff around with hundreds of different products, so instead, I like to stick with my basic products to maintain a clean complexion.
As I previously mentioned, my hair can be quite unruly, particularly after I've slept on it. It can become quite flat and frizzy so I generally like to put my hair up in a thick messy bun, and I've mastered a few tricks to keep the bun looking presentable and keeping the volume I like to maintain when I do my hair.
The first thing I normally do it apply this Big Volume Powder from a brand called 'Pretty' to the roots of my hair. I recently discovered this product and I love it! I found that it is great to keep my hair looking, and feeling think and full of volume. After applying this product, my hair is definitely noticeably thicker which makes for a great messy bun. This product also saves me from teasing my hair, which can cause a lot of damage adds to the natural frizz my hair already has, so using a thickening product, like this one, in place of teasing and backcombing your hair is something I would definitely recommend.
Because this is just a quick taste of my rushed weekday mornings, I will definitely be doing an extended version of my morning routine on the weekends, but I just thought I'd share with you some things I do to start my school day off more smoothly.
