What Happened When I Copied Elsa Jean’s Morning Rush Routine
Got up late after binge-watching shows last night. Again. Saw Elsa Jeans talking about her crazy fast bare face glow thing. Thought “heck yeah I need that!” since my face looked duller than dishwater. Grabbed whatever was near my sink. Here’s exactly what went down:
First thing, I splashed cold water right on my face. Not gentle patting – full on splash attack. Woke me up fast. Didn’t even dry it properly. Let it stay a bit wet.
Reached for my plain glycerin stuff next. Like that clear slippery bottle? Used maybe… three drops? Rubbed hands together fast then slapped it all over my damp face. Up, down, cheeks – no fancy massage. Just covered it.
While that was still sticky, grabbed my cheap moisturizer. The boring one without smell. Squeezed a blob smaller than a pea. Honestly probably too little. Smushed it everywhere quick. Felt thick mixing with the glycerin but whatever.
Sunscreen time. Used the runny white kind that spreads easy. Pumped it once straight onto fingers. Smeared it like I was painting a fence – fast strokes. Eyebrows, nose, chin. Near eyes? Oops, stung a little. Blinked like crazy.
Whole thing done before my coffee even dripped. No kidding. Maybe 90 seconds? Maybe less? Didn’t time it but felt stupid fast.
What actually happened:
- Skin didn’t feel tight at all. Usually it does if I rush.
- That sticky mix dried down kinda dewy? Like healthy sweaty but not gross.
- Didn’t look “glowing” exactly. More… not dead. Like I drank water once this week.
- Sunscreen made my forehead shiny. Blotting paper fixed it later.
Kept it like that all day. Even went grocery shopping. Nobody ran away screaming. Checked mirror at 3pm – not greasy, not flaky. Just… chill skin. Mission accomplished? I’d say yes. Would I do this again when late? Absolutely. That moisturizer-sunscreen smear saves lives.
