Your 5-Minute Routine to Look Sharp (Even After a Late Night)

March 23, 2025

Introduction

Woke up rough? We’ve all been there.

Maybe you had a late night, an early morning, or just didn’t get great sleep. But no one needs to know that.

Looking fresh, sharp, and put-together doesn’t require an hour in front of the mirror. With this quick, no-fuss 5-minute routine, you’ll be ready to take on the day—no matter how you woke up.

The 5-Minute Morning Routine

1. Splash Cold Water on Your Face (0:30 sec)

💦 Why? Cold water instantly wakes up your skin and reduces puffiness by tightening blood vessels. Bonus: It also helps shake off grogginess so you feel as awake as you look.

💡 Pro Tip: If you have time, place a cold spoon under your eyes for an extra de-puffing boost.

2. Apply Moisturizer (0:30 sec)

💧 Why? Hydrated skin = healthier, smoother, and younger-looking skin. A lightweight moisturizer locks in hydration, prevents dryness, and gives your face a refreshed look.

💡 Pro Tip: Choose one with SPF if you’ll be out in the sun.

3. Apply ONYX Eye Cream (1:00 min)

👀 This is the game-changer.

Dark circles, puffiness, and tired eyes? ONYX 3-in-1 Eye Cream takes care of it all.

✔ Caffeine boosts circulation, reducing puffiness.
✔ Hyaluronic Acid hydrates and plumps skin.
✔ Peptides strengthen skin and smooth fine lines.

💡 How to Use: Dab a small amount under your eyes and gently pat it in—no rubbing.

4. Beard Check or Quick Shave (2:00 min)

🪒 Why? Facial hair can make or break your look.

If you have a beard, trim and shape it for a clean, intentional look.
If you're clean-shaven, quickly go over any stubble for a smooth, polished finish.

💡 Pro Tip: Use a beard oil or aftershave to prevent irritation and keep skin fresh.

5. Comb Hair + Cologne (1:00 min)

💇‍♂️ Why? A messy bedhead look works for no one.

✔ Run a comb or your fingers through your hair to tame unruly strands.
✔ A spritz of cologne (not too much!) adds the finishing touch.

💡 Pro Tip: Stick to fresh, subtle scents for a confident, professional feel.

Why This Routine Works

Looking put together isn’t just about clothes—it’s about your face.

👀 Hydrated, awake-looking eyes set the tone for your entire appearance.
🧼 Well-groomed facial hair, styled hair, and a fresh scent are the details that tie everything together.
