  • Morning Shed Trend: Do You Really Need an Extreme Nighttime Routine?

    Morning Shed Trend: Do You Really Need an Extreme Nighttime Routine?

    Have you seen the Morning Shed trend taking over TikTok? People are layering on intense beauty routines and sleep aids in hopes of waking up refreshed. But let’s be real—who has time for all that? 😴 The good news? You don’t need an over-the-top, mummified routine to wake up looking and feeling amazing. We head back to Daytime Chicago to share simple, effective ways to wake up better in 2025—without the extra hassle. Because great sleep and glowing skin should be easy! ✨💤

    Let’s set the stage for better sleep. Put down the phone, hold up on all the sheet masks, and take a look at your bed. What are you sleeping on? If your pillow lacks the right texture and support, it could be the key culprit behind restless nights and sagging skin.

    Pillow Prep:
    Switching to a silk pillowcase is a game-changer for both skin and hair. It reduces friction, preventing sleep lines, frizz, and breakage while also resisting dust mites and allergens. Unlike cotton, silk helps retain moisture, keeping skin and hair hydrated. The Blissy Dream Set offers more than just a pillowcase—and has over 212K five-star reviews.

    Blissy Dream Set – Plum
    PRICE: $129.95
    SHOP: @blissy.com
    The Blissy Dream Set makes falling asleep as silky smooth as possible it’s one that you’ll enjoy the benefits from time and time again; luxurious beauty sleep! Comes with the world’s best silk pillowcase, sleep mask, scrunchie, and skinny scrunchie! In Standard, Queen, and King sizes and 16 colors to choose from. Blissy is made from 100% Pure Mulberry Silk which equals enhanced sleep, better hair, glowing skin, and reduced wrinkles. Award-winning with over 212,000+ 5-star customer reviews. Blissy is great for your health – they are hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial, non-irritating, and keeps you cool while you sleep!

    When searching for the perfect pillow for proper alignment and better sleep, we turned to Blissy again. Designed for all sleep positions—back, side, and stomach—it offers contoured support and a luxurious texture. The result? You wake up refreshed, comfortable, and free of stiffness.

    Blissy Signature Adjustable Pillow
    PRICE: $99.00
    SHOP: @blissy.com
    The key to restorative sleep starts with the perfect pillow. Whether you’re seeking relief from neck and back pain or just want a more comfortable night’s sleep, the Blissy Pillow offers cloudlike comfort and adjustable support for every sleep style. Wake up refreshed, aligned, and ready to take on the day—whether you’re a back, side, or stomach sleeper. Crafted with CertiPUR-US® certified memory foam, this pillow includes additional premium fill so you can adjust it to your exact comfort level. Its innovative cooling air layer combats night sweats and overheating, while the precision stitching and hidden zipper ensure durable elegance you’ll enjoy for years to come. 

    We all know that blue light from screens disrupts sleep, but did you know that red light sleep therapy can actually help you wind down? With just the touch of a button, it stimulates melatonin production, signaling your body to relax and prepare for restful sleep.

    Helight Sleep
    PRICE: $139.00

    I cringe at all the elaborate tonics and elixirs people mix up on social media for better sleep—who has time for that? I’m a superfan of KAILO Sleep Well. It tastes like a chocolate treat, is packed with glycine and magnesium, and is clean and sugar-free. It is such a soothing routine to wind down with at night. 

    KAILO Sleep Well
    PRICE: $99.00
    SHOP: @kailo.com.au
    PROMO CODE: 20% off with CODE: CHICAGO20

    • Collagen-rich nighttime wellness blend: Infused with hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides, this formula supports gut health, skin, hair, nails, and joints while also aiding muscle recovery overnight.
    • A delicious and functional sleep ritual: This chocolate-flavored powder makes for a tasty and effective way to unwind before bed—just mix with warm water or milk of your choice for a soothing nighttime beverage. Gluten free, dairy free and sugar free – clean beauty that tastes incredible!

    Skin Prep:
    Sure, you can layer on masks, tapes, and lip stains, but unless you stay perfectly still all night, you’ll wake up with a creased, smeared mess—on both your face and pillowcase. Instead, opt for powerful one-step products that absorb deeply into the skin, locking in moisture and delivering results while you sleep—no mess, no hassle.

    Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask
    PRICE: $49.00
    SHOP: @Amazon

    Morning Shower Power:
    There’s nothing like a shower in the morning to wake up the senses. How about adding a little Tea Tree & Rosemary Scalp massage to the morning routine? We promise you won’t regret it! 

    Renpure Tea Tree & Rosemary Scalp Serum
    PRICE: $9.27
    SHOP: @amazon
