But when restless nights turn into energy-less days, a quick boost is often a necessity to make it through. But now you don't have to rely on coffee alone to give you the energy you need to power through that 10am meeting. A number of beauty products these days are aimed at invigorating and boosting skin's appearance—and your mood. From vitamin C boosts to caffeine injections, now you can fake eight hours of sleep with the help of your beauty bag.In the shower:

Origins GinZing Energy-Boosting Moisturizer ($26.50) gives a quick zap of energy to skin thanks to coffee beans, which fight the tired signs of aging, and ginseng, which brightens the eyes and stimulates the senses. But in case an essence is more your style, Shiseido has the Benefiance Energizing Essence Moisturizer ($56), which also brings your visage to life by boosting skin's moisture content.

For a big night out:
If you have a little more time to spare, a revitalizing mask can work wonders on tired skin. Boots No7 Beautiful Skin Energizing Mask ($16.99) is a peel-off gel-cream mask with vitamin C and E that gives dull skin a touch of radiance.
