10 Ways to Spend Your Daylight Savings Hour

Daylight savings means dark mornings, dark evenings, and on the first day—an extra hour when the clock falls back! So what do you Beauties do with that bonus time you get today? Here are 10 ideas to spark your creativity.

1. Indulge a little.

Use your newfound hour to give your face and body a little more love. Indulge in luxurious face masks, take an extra-long shower, and transform your bathroom into your very own spa retreat.

2. Nourish your cuticles.

Have you looked at your cuticles lately? Now that November is in full swing, the cold weather will only worsen dead skin around the nail bed. Clean up the dry skin on your tips and toes, and oil it down with our favorite cuticle care products.

3. Reconnect outdoors.

When's the last time you went for a jog at dawn? Use the morning hour to go for a run or a brisk walk and embrace the fresh autumn air.

4. Welcome seasonal fruits.

You know that fruity breakfast you're eating right now? The same fresh produce performs double-duty on your face. Refresh your skin with seasonal DIY fruit masks.

5. Road test a new makeup trend.

Haven't been able to perfect that red lip on your complexion just yet? Test-drive your latest fall beauty purchases at home before you show off your new look to the masses.

6. Tweeze and touch up.

Look at yourself in the mirror—have you plucked recently? Whip out your tweezers, wax, or whichever hair removal device you're comfortable with and eliminate those pesky stray facial hairs!

7. Browse beauty—from your mobile device!

Now it's easy to find product reviews, browse articles, and watch your favorite tutorials no matter where you are

8. Bling out your nails.

Current nail trends dictate all things glitter, sparkle, and shine. Give yourself a glitzy mini-mani with a sweep of metallic polish, a few crystal embellishments, or full-on holographic ombré nails.

9. Write your holiday wish list.

With so many amazing beauty products coming out and the holiday season fast approaching, now’s the perfect time to make a list of all the beauty goods you crave for December.

10. Hit the snooze button.

When all is said and done, there's nary a feeling like 60 extra glorious minutes in bed. Take advantage of the hour and catch up on some z’s!
