6 Products That Fake a Good Night’s Sleep

Wake up prettier with minimal effort

By NewBeauty Editors · Apr 14, 2015

The National Sleep Foundation recommends adults get eight hours of sleep a night on average. But for most of us, that seems like the type of R&R reserved for tropical vacations and sick days. The reality is this: Getting enough sleep is tough! And one of the many ways we pay for our minimal dozing is the dreaded “tired look.” To combat that bleary-eyed issue, we sought out products to keep you looking rejuvenated, even when you haven’t been. So now losing sleep is nothing to lose sleep over!
