Post-party Skin Care

As girls, we know the struggle all too well, you spend an hour doing your makeup because you have that grand event coming up where you know you are going to party your socks off! It’s an amazing night, and you’ve had the time of your life, but let’s face it, the last thing on your mind when you come home at all hours of the morning, is to remove your once flawless makeup. No, all you want to do is put on your most comfortable clothes, grab a glass of water, and pass out. The downside to this is that your skin suffers for it. Sleeping with makeup on clogs up your pores, not allowing it to breathe and repair itself while you sleep.

Doing so will most likely end you up with a nasty little break out you have been working so hard to avoid. However, there are ways to replenish your beautiful face in no time. It may take some work but doing that little tender loving care once you wake up can be well worth the struggle. Waking up the morning after can be a sight you don’t want to see in the mirror. However, putting together a little fix-up routine can make all the difference. So, unless you are planning on hiding from the world for the day, this can help you get out there confidently.

This could probably be the simplest way to ensure that your skin can breathe, and that is by simply taking a makeup removing wipe and swiping it across your face before touching your head to that pillow. I know it seems like too much effort at the time, but I can guarantee you will thank yourself for it later. To make it easier for yourself plan and possibly place the wipes on your bedside table where you can easily reach over and do it with your eyes closed.
Now, these wipes aren’t going to be a miracle cure after a night out on the town; your skin will become dehydrated, possibly pale, and outright drained from lack of sleep. That is why it’s recommended to have that extra care routine set up for when you wake up. An example of one would be:
Step one – Wash it all off. Get all that excess makeup and dirt off your face with a cleanser of your choice
Step two – A quick treatment with a facemask that has all the serums needed to rejuvenate and hydrate your skin. There are different masks for different results but go for one that has water activated vitamin c and the ability to brighten and even out your skin tone.
Step three – Layer on that moisturizer because your skin will need it.
Step four – Don’t forget the eye cream to liven up and diminish those dark circles caused by your lack of sleep.

The effects of the festive season will soon start to take a toll on our skin. It’s that time of the year again when the dinners and parties start happening regularly and if you are ignoring your skin that often, it’s going to start showing. Now there is one sure fire way to keeping your skin healthy, and this is a task you should be doing daily. Yes, you guessed it, drink, drink, drink! Water is unquestionably your best friend if you desire glowing, bright and blemish free skin. Not only does it work for your face, but we all know how important it is for our bodies to function optimally. There are just no down sides, so put down that margarita and pick up a refreshing bottle of water. Make it your goal to drink a glass of water between each alcoholic drink, and it is generally advised to add a dash of lemon in the morning. This citrus/water combo works to flush out toxins, which is commonly needed after any overindulgence. Following up with healthy eating habits you are sure to have clear, beautiful skin all year round.

Going back to using a mask, it’s a widely underestimated part of your routine that many people seem to overlook. A mask can give you that instant glow and hydration needed to look as fresh as you did the night before. Never underestimate the power of a good vitamin filled, enriching face mask. Another solution that is widely overlooked is the necessity to add a serum to your collection. It provides you with younger, healthier, brighter looking skin because they are filled with potent antioxidants, vitamins, and plant extracts.

The bottom line is that you should treat your skin as a top priority. You show your face to the world, and it’s essential for you to keep your head up high and be proud of who you are. Confidence is vital and completes anyone’s outfit. If you look good, you feel good, and what better way to stand tall with a smile than when you have clear and radiant looking skin. While we love indulging in the delightful holiday treats, don’t let the festive season get the better of you. Enjoy your indulgences and snacks while drinking the night away to good music with your friends, just remember to take care of yourself in between it all. Keep those wipes next to your bed, invest in a good mask or two and make sure you have all the ingredients required to cleanse and rejuvenate your skin in the morning. A good skincare routine is essential for any woman’s daily life and should become a habit, like brushing your teeth, something which you simply cannot neglect.
