The bars are finally open! Whether you are drinking on a picnic or making up for the pub-garden time we’ve all lost, a hangover the next day is almost guaranteed. We are here to save the day with these skin-saving products that will have you feeling fresh-faced in no time.
Cleanse & exfoliate
With makeup probably still lingering on the skin, a physical exfoliator is the best way to scrub away the night before. When you have a heavy hangover, there’s no better feeling than a good face scrub. Try the Origins GinZing Refreshing Scrub Cleanser. A ten-step skincare routine is the last thing anyone wants to be doing when they are feeling hungover. This product is a combination of a cleanser and a physical exfoliator saving you the effort of applying two separate products. The GinZing Refreshing Scrub Cleanser removes the dirt and unclogs the pores as well as waking up your skin. Gentle yet effective, this cleanser and exfoliator combination will have your skin feeling fresh again.
Detoxify
Without question, a powerful detoxing mask is the best way to revive the skin after a night of drinking. A face mask can get right into the pores and extract the remnants of last night. If any makeup has been left on the skin overnight, a good detox mask will stop the pores from clogging and forming a breakout. The Bare Minerals Dirty Detox Skin Glowing and Refining Mud Mask will have your skin back to normal with one use. With charcoal and papaya, it will refine and give the skin a reset. As well as this, it smooths out the skin for a healthy, luminous glow. This mud mask is the perfect product for a deep detox.
Hydrate
Alcohol is very dehydrating. It dehydrates the whole body, including your skin. Therefore, it is essential to hydrate the skin after a big night out of drinking. The first step to hydrating the skin is to drink a large glass of water. Water will not just make you feel a lot better but also help you look much better too. After drinking water, a super hydrating skin care product is just what the skin needs. Try the Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum. This hydrating gel attracts moisture providing 24 hours of hydration. It also helps to improve the skin barrier to make the skin appear and feel healthy again.
The lips will be just as dehydrated as the skin when you’re feeling hungover. To replenish your lips with moisture, use a luxurious lip treatment such as the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Lip Therapy. Intensely hydrating, this treatment protects and nourishes the lips. This bestseller from First Aid Beauty will heal any dry patches and provide long-lasting hydration.
Once you have applied a hydrating lip treatment, spritz the face with a calming facial spray. The Elemis Superfood Kefir-Tea Mist is a multipurpose spray that hydrates and tones at the same time. As well as this, if you wish to apply makeup, this spray also primes and sets makeup. This mist soothes the skin with its antioxidant-rich formula. The Superfood Kefir-Tea Mist leaves the skin looking healthy with a natural glow all day long.
