Want to wake up with natural beauty, like, say Penélope Cruz or Gisele Bündchen? Newsflash: You don’t need expensive products, harsh chemicals, and loads of time to get shiny, healthy hair and smoother skin. Natural beauty comes from the basics: good sleep habits, always wearing sunblock, and drinking plenty of water. But some of us, with crazy work schedules and families to care for, are lucky if we are able to wash our face at night.

Before you know it, your friends will be asking what special procedure or potion you used, and you’ll naturally answer, ‘I woke up like this, darling.’
