A list of tips to help you get back to your usual look no matter what happened yesterday.

You will need extra time to tidy yourself up, so set your alarm 30–40 minutes earlier than planned. Difficult, but necessary.

First aid

Alcohol is great for dehydrating the body. In an amicable way, during a party it is worth alternating all sorts of high-grade goodies with mineral water without gas or juice, but alcohol deprives us not only of moisture, but also of the remnants of common sense.

Before going to bed, drink a glass of water, and put another one near the bed. You will thank yourself for your foresight when you wake up thirsty in the middle of the night. The next day, drink water, apple juice, tea with ginger, honey and lemon, and herbal infusions (with mint or chamomile). It is better to refuse coffee for now.

And remember, gentlemen don't get hungover. Lady - even more so. If you slap a glass in the morning, it will really become easier, but not for long. One way or another, the hangover will definitely visit you, so it's best not to anger him by trying to delay this visit.

Your skin is thirsty too. The next item on your schedule is a shower, immediately after it, apply a thick layer of moisturizer on your face and walk like that for about 15 minutes. Blot the rest with a paper towel. By the way, it is better to apply the cream immediately after washing, without waiting for drops of water to dry on the skin.

Water procedures

As hard as it gets, don't neglect the shower. Rub the body thoroughly with a brush (it is better to do it on dry skin) or with a hard washcloth: it perfectly invigorates and revives. Be sure to wash your hair. Firstly, it immediately +100 to your appearance, and secondly, after sitting in a bar or just a room where it is smoky, the hair is soaked in a specific amber.

A contrast shower will be good, however, provided that everything is in order with your cardiovascular system. Start with water at a comfortable temperature, then make it hotter, and then move to cold water. Three repetitions of such a cycle are enough, always end with cold water.

Do you have time for a bath? Perfectly. Add a handful of sea salt to very warm water and soak for 20 minutes. Then you can cheer up with a good old contrast shower.

Dealing with the face

Wash your face first. I trust in your conscientiousness and I hope that you did the same the night before. If not, it's sad, the skin won't thank you for that. To make her feel good and to get rid of dead cells, go over her face with a scrub. Ordinary oatmeal will do, but you will have to grind it in a coffee grinder first. Apply a cleansing and moisturizing mask or, if you don't have time, limit yourself to a thick layer of cream. Men who are not attracted to fussing with masks can shave: no one will suspect a smooth-shaven person that he was reckless yesterday.

Do you know how to figure out red wine drinkers among the crowd of hungover personalities? On the lips. These dark footprints on them, yes. Hygienic lipstick works well as a preventive measure, especially if you renew its layer from time to time between glasses.

In the morning, massage your lips with a toothbrush to finally get rid of all the evidence.

Now we deal with bags under the eyes. An excellent remedy for them is creams and serums with caffeine. For greater effect, you can keep these products in the refrigerator. Nothing like that? No problem. Put two teaspoons in the freezer for 15 minutes, and then gently massage them into swollen areas. You can make a well-known compress from tea bags (green tea is ideal) or from the same bags, but with sage. Drops based on tetrizoline will solve the problem of red eyes. A few minutes and the situation gets better.

This completes the complex of resuscitation measures for men. The next section will be of interest exclusively to girls.

Makeup

The first rule of hangover makeup is that it should be invisible and as light as possible. No black eyeliner or dark shadows, forget heavy tonal and contouring. The skin is not in the best condition anyway, the abundance of cosmetics will only emphasize this. Now you need to do three things: achieve an acceptable complexion, make the look less deadly, and generally give the look a little liveliness. Let's go in order.

Set aside matting foundations until better times: today, those that give the effect of radiance and seem to illuminate the skin from the inside will be very useful. If you do not use these in everyday life, you can make a lighter version of the existing foundation by mixing it in equal proportions with a moisturizer.

Moving on to masking the bruises under the eyes. There is no need to fertilize their entire area with concealer: it often looks very noticeable.

Apply concealer closer to the bridge of your nose and beat in thoroughly with your fingertips. It's fine if your camouflage contains reflective particles. In this case, it can be shaded under the eyebrow and in the inner corner of the upper eyelid.

When choosing shadows, choose lighter shades and satin texture. Bring the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid with a beige pencil, and curl the eyelashes with forceps: this will make the look more open and clear. The makeup will be completed with pink blush of the most natural shade and a neutral lip gloss.
