Best Beauty Hangover Tips

 

Welcome to a New Year! But are you feeling merry and bright or feeling a fright because you are hungover? Headaches, drowsiness, and nausea? Oh my. But on top of these, did you know that alcohol can also wreak havoc on your skin. From dryness, dullness, breakouts, even premature aging. But what are you to do? Start right away with these Best Beauty Hangover Tips!

The Night Before Skincare Hangover Routine

Yes, if you are somewhat coherent, you should attempt to implement some of these hangover beauty routines before you pass out.

Remove Your Makeup With A Makeup Eraser 

No matter how comfy that bed may look you need to remove your makeup. A Makeup Eraser is a quick and easy way for you to remove your makeup as all you need is water. The makeup eraser will work its magic even on waterproof mascara, with ONLY WATER! And a bonus it will also exfoliate the skin.

Pile On An Over Night Recovery Sleeping Skincare Mask
A hydrating mask is key to restoring moisture to your skin, alleviating dullness, and fighting under-eye circles the next day. And Dr. Brandt's Hydro Biotic Recovery Sleeping Mask is here to the rescue. With soothing peptides along with a restorative blend of ceramides, fatty acids, and calming ingredients. They also work the night shift to help soothe, nourish, and restore hydration to the skin. Come morning, angsty skin is hydrated and beautifully balanced for a glowing, refreshed complexion.

Show Your Eyes Some Love With A Calming Eye Cream Enriched With CBD
Show your eyes some love with TreCeutical's Eye Love Cream. A fantastic eye cream formulation challenge is to have effective, nutrient-rich ingredients to tackle alcohol-induced issues such as puffiness and dehydration. And TreCeuticals eye cream does just that as it is enriched with CBD to the bag those hangover eyes- full-spectrum CBD is known to soothe and nourish the skin.

Sleep On An Extra Pillow After Drinking Too Much
Consider sleeping on your back with a few extra pillows propped under your head as it will promote fluid drainage, so you'll look less puffy the next day.

Sleep With A Light Blocking Eye Mask To Prevent A Hangover
Gently cover your eyes for a peaceful night's sleep! Aside from skin issues, alcohol can also affect your Rem sleep as well as a light leading to post-sleep tiredness. That's why you need a blackout sleep mask that covers and conforms to your eyes to block 100% of light, even in broad daylight — so you always get deep, uninterrupted sleep.

This contoured sleep mask from Aroma Season is very light and comfortable to wear. It is soft, flexible, and has an eyes feel free to design, so it doesn't move and distracts your eyes and head from pressure, helping you wake up relaxed and refreshed. (Some eye masks are also designed to ease headaches).

If a black out mask is not your choice no worries as Aroma Season has countless of options to choose from,  for every type of concern you may have, not just for preventing a hangover. For example:

• Aromatherapy Heated Eye Mask
• USB Steam Heated Eye Mask
• Moist Heated Eye Mask
• Weighted Sleep Mask

The Morning After Hangover Beauty Routine

Pamper Your Skin After Drinking With A Soapnut Cleanser
No matter how well you think you cleaned your face the night before, chances are your drunken self did not do it very well.  You want to give your hungover skin the boost it needs by using a soapnut cleanser that gently cleanses without stripping natural oils of the skin, and Zoi Naturals Neroli Face Wash is the must-have wash to help balance the skin's PH for that morning after.

But what the heck is a soapnut?
Soapnuts seem to be the newest and oldest all-natural trend for cleansing. This isn't surprising as they have been around for hundreds of years! People in Nepal, India, even Native Americans have known about the incredible cleansing powers for years.  They are actually the dried shells (or husks) from the soapberry nut, which come from the Sapindus mukorossi tree—a unique species of trees found in both the eastern and western hemispheres.

Soapnuts are excellent at pampering dry hungover skin as they are a mild, gentle natural cleanser great for soothing the skin.  I love to use Neroli's face wash after drinking a bottle of wine because it also has some other skin-loving ingredients, like...

• Aloe Vera - Soothes the skin and helps regenerate cellular turnover.
• Calendula Extract- Reduces the occurrence of dry skin.
• Coconut Oil - Moisturizes the skin and prevents acne.
• Olive Oil - Prevents dryness and rejuvenates the skin.
• Neem - Prevents pimples and protects the skin.
• Shea Butter - Diminishes wrinkles and increases blood circulation.

Fight Dry Hungover Skin By Exfoliating

Your skin has lost a lot of moisture after consuming too much alcohol so it may feel drier than usual and flaky patches may even appear.  Exfoliation is one of the best ways to repair your skin after drinking! While there are some great skincare products to exfoliate with, the beauty tool needed to do the job is Spa Sciences Sonic Cleansing Brush. Use this with Neroli's Face Wash and you'll soon be on your way to glowing, happy skin!

Cure A Hangover Fast With Dry Brushing
Give your body a good brush over with dry brushing. Dry brushing is a way to increase circulation through your body, which will help to move the alcohol out of your body quicker.

Elevate Your Electrolytes After Drinking Too Much Alcohol
My new best friend is a refreshing hydration mix when it comes to a hangover cure called Hydrant! Created to rehydrate the body fast this product is a lightly flavored real fruit juice powder that contains the precise blend of electrolytes you need to own your day. This rapid-hydration formula strikes a balance of potassium, magnesium, sodium, and zinc to keep you truly hydrated! You can instantly feel it working.

Hydrate The Skin After Drinking With Cica
We all know that alcohol is a direct cause of dehydration, but this dehydration can also lead to premature aging as it deprives cells of the water they need to keep skin hydrated and healthy. So just as you are drinking a glass of Hydrant right now, your skin also needs some more hydration. So why not start with a hydrating face mist enriched with CICA.

What the heck is Cica, you ask with that hangover headache? Cica has a plethora of skin-loving benefits, from toning the skin, boosting collagen, rebuilding the skin barrier, aiding in cellular repair, providing some much-needed hydration, and yes, there is more! Cica is also full of nutrients that are beneficial to the skin, like beta-carotene, amino acids, niacin, and vitamins A, B1, B2, and C, all that are amazing at moisturizing and brightening the skin!

My all-time favorite CICA brand is Meebak and their toner that doubles as a mist is terrific at calming relief to even the most sensitive dry, alcohol-induced dry skin. 

Brighten The Skin After Drinking With Gold
Gold, yes, you read correctly. A go-to secret weapon of mine is a 24K Gold Cream. Infused with gold flakes and hyaluronic acid, this rich moisturizer brings that much-needed glow to your complexion, so you will look as if you hadn't drunk the extra shot as the ball dropped last night!  (24K GOLD has been used in skincare for hundreds of years due to its anti-aging properties)

Remove Puffiness And Toxins With A Isla Face Roller
Face massage is the key to reducing post-alcohol puffiness as it helps boost circulation and encourage lymphatic drainage. Better than just using your fingers, Spa Sciences Isla Sonic Face & Body Contouring Ice & Heat Roller (can be used cool from a skincare fridge or warm from room temperature) is my go-to beauty tool after enjoying a bottle of Pinot Noir.  Not only will this beauty help to restore your skin to its toned and supple self, but it is excellent to help relieve that hangover headache as the uplifting sonic technology is fantastic at soothing and relaxing your muscles.

A bonus the ISLA helps to penetrate your skincare deeper, so use it with an eye cream under the eyes to help alleviate under-eye puffiness and swelling.  It also works great with your favorite hyaluronic serum, which brings us to the next skincare product to help with your hungover skin.

Hyaluronic Madness With A Shot Of Ginseng
Now do not get queasy as you are not doing any shots. But Ginjo Beauty has an excellent 24-hour collagen serum that delivers a cocktail of nutrients and hydrators like hyaluronic acid, Korean forest-grown Ginseng, Squalene, Green tea, and shea butter, all that help nurture the delicate facial skin to perfection by optimally nourishing and replenishing the skin’s own moisture!
