Waking up is often a difficult moment. However, a natural morning routine can help you start your day better. Najel gives you his advice for a gentle and beautiful awakening to have a great day.
A good awakening is prepared in the evening
"There is no point in running, you have to start on time" La Fontaine's verses will become your morning leitmotif. In order to take your time and avoid waking up abruptly, set your alarm in the evening to give yourself 1 hour to get ready in the morning .
We can never say it enough, the key is to anticipate! Choosing your outfit the day before by checking the weather forecast for the next day is a huge time saver. It's one less choice to make and time saved.
Listen to your body and go to sleep at the first signs of fatigue . Itchy eyes, yawning and heavy eyelids are all signs that the body needs rest and that it is time to go to bed. By fighting against these signs, you delay falling asleep.
For a restful sleep for both the mind and the skin, adopt a daily evening beauty routine . It starts with removing makeup and cleansing the face before bed. Orange blossom floral water combined with jojoba oil is perfect for gentle and effective makeup removal. This step is very important , do not forget it. Then, clean the skin with an Aleppo soap that matches your skin type.

Taking care of your skin while sleeping
Nighttime is the best time to take care of your skin. During the night, the skin is less subject to external aggressions such as pollution, toxins, stress... Thus, it takes advantage of this moment to regenerate, the body being at rest. To boost cell renewal, apply Najel Argan vegetable oil before going to bed. This oil is a valuable ally for cell renewal thanks to its high content of vitamin E and essential fatty acids. Take advantage of the night to intensely nourish your skin and find a sublime complexion when you wake up.
The awakening
One of the hardest moments of the day begins… the alarm goes off. First, fight off the urge to snooze! Take the time to stretch to wake up your muscles and get your blood flowing. Then, get up without rushing and let the daylight in: it tells your body that it’s time to wake up.
A good breakfast
Breakfast is an important step. It should remain a moment of pleasure so it is essential to dedicate a little time to it. Before starting to enjoy your breakfast, do not forget to drink a large glass of water to rehydrate your body.
A little exercise
If you have some time left, take advantage of this moment to do some exercise. You are spoiled for choice: yoga, walking, qigong… There are many videos and applications to motivate and guide you. Doing physical activity in the morning is beneficial for activating blood circulation and giving you tone.
However, avoid activities that are too intense! The body is waking up so you have to start gently to avoid any risk of injury.
Morning beauty routine: hop to the bathroom
In the morning, apply a hydrosol adapted to your skin type to your face. Then, make sure to moisturize your skin well with a moisturizer if you put on makeup afterwards: it is fluid and penetrates quickly. Otherwise, opt for a vegetable oil. Apricot oil is a treatment that revives the complexion even for the most tired. Don't forget to moisturize your lips with Najel lip balms!
You can start the day off right!
