How to wake up fast and get your puffy face back to normal

If you are anything like me when you wake up in the morning your face is all puffy and you feel like you need 6 more hours of sleep (because you only had 4 to begin with...in some cases 2). Washing your face with cool water helps but what really gets you..and your skin going too is putting your toner in the fridge and swiping that on in the mornings. Toner is already kinda cool on its own and when that gets down to fridge cold it de-puffs the face and eyes in a second!I guess i should also mention that in order to have nice healthy skin, you should use alcohol free toner because these don't strip your skin of natural moisturizers (only excess) and therefore don't leave your face feeling like someone put a clay mask on it and hasn't taken it off. The one i use is "Neutrogena alcohol-free toner". I like this one because it is about $8.00 for a bottle and it leaves my face feeling fresh not tight, another important fact is that toner preps the skin to absorb your moisturizer better. I used to use "Avalon Organics vitamin C toner", which i absolutely loved because it smelled so nice and did the job, was alcohol free, and had the vitamin c which is supposed to help your skin fight free radicals or whatever, it was wonderful....but it was also $18.00 instead of $7.00 so my pocket was the deciding factor here. For a good wakeup I always do this, i keep some cotton swabs in the fridge too, for convenience. This is also good for times when you have messed with certain blackheads, pimples, etc, after a shower to help close up and clean out the pores you have just finished opening.
