Top 5 Tips On Looking Good The Morning After!
Looking Good With A Hangover - Your Top 5 Tips On Looking Good The Morning After!
Let’s face it - we’ve all been there. We wake up in the morning feeling like death because we overdid it the night before. In a perfect world we staggered home, drank gallons of water to stop getting dehydrated and took the time to take off our make-up and moisturize.
Of course in the real world none of this will happen. It’s far more likely that we staggered home and fell straight into bed and felt lucky to get there in one piece! So, we wake up in the morning with hair like a birds nest, smelling like a bar and with make-up smeared all over our faces. But, there’s a more serious issue that arises here. How on earth do you get to work, looking half human, when you have this to contend with!
Don’t despair – you may feel like you can barely cope with walking never mind looking at yourself in the mirror and working out how to make things better. But, if you follow our Top 5 Tips, you’ll start to look and feel human again.
1. Get some water therapy
The first step to take on the road to recovery is to hit the shower or the bath. You aren’t looking to relax here – you’re probably late for work and have a lot to do so you need to work with military precision! Your aim here is to wash off the bar, to get rid of the cosmetics and to wake yourself up a bit. So, pick out a refreshing body wash and shampoo as they will cover all your bases.
2. Do your skin a favor
Your skin won’t hide your night out – it’s more likely to advertise exactly what you were doing! And, it won’t be happy that you left it under a layer of cosmetics the night before. So, pamper your face a bit – you’ll feel better and it will look better. You can use a facial cleanser here or a scrub – it all depends on how bad you feel and how your skin has coped overall. If you have time use a body moisturizer as well as this will energize you.
3. Pulverize your puffiness
The eyes may be the mirror to the soul – but they can also be the biggest advert for a hangover as well! If you’ve over indulged the night before, the skin under your eyes may well look puffy and saggy. All you need to do here is to make sure that you have some eye gel handy. This will reduce puffiness and help get rid of those black bags that give the game away!
4. Get rid of red eye
Your eyes don’t like nights on the town – no matter how much you do. Spending the night in smoky clubs and bars, not getting enough sleep and having to deal with the effects of alcohol will in 99.9% of cases give you a severe case of blood-shot red eyes. Again, you can solve this problem real easy by making sure you keep some eye drops in your bathroom. A couple of drops will go a long way to making your eyes sparkle again.
5. Plaster over the cracks
Now, you’ll be ready to think about make up. Chances are you’ll need some – unless, of course, you’re going for the pale and interesting look! The thing to remember here is that less is more. It’s quite tempting to think that we can make ourselves look normal by plastering on some foundation. But, the chances are this won’t work for you. If you are suffering from a hangover then you’ll look better with lighter make up that’s applied carefully. Also, a good tip here is to use an eyelash curler. This will simply make you look more awake!
Follow these 5 tips and you’re bound to look better – even with the worst hangover you can remember. Feeling better might take a little longer but you’ll at least have made a start!
