With a few simple steps, denim tear shorts you can refresh yourself and feel like you just stepped out of a spa, even if you’ve been sitting at a desk all day.

Start by washing your face. Even if you don’t have time for a full routine, a quick rinse with cool water and a gentle cleanser can remove sweat, oil, and grime that make your skin look dull.
