In fact, adding whiskey to a face pack just might be the best way to enjoy alcohol. Try these quick whiskey-based DIYs to give your skin a healthy glow. Just be careful to use the right quantity and not to leave it on for too long, else, it can dry your skin out.
1. With Lemon For Tired Skin
Lemon is rich in vitamin C, which brightens your skin and helps to fade blemishes, while whiskey tightens the pores. Together, they make a perfect pick-me-up for tired and dull looking skin. Use 2 tablespoons of whiskey with 1 tablespoon of lemon.
2. Water + Whiskey
Make that on the rocks if you want to enjoy a drink. Or else, try it as a face mask (minus the ice)! Take a cup of water, add a few drops of whiskey and use a cotton ball to dab it all over your face and neck. Let it dry and wash off to reveal glowing skin.
3. Honey For Freshness
To a spoonful of honey, add a few drops of whiskey, mix it well and apply it on your face. Let it sit for about 15 minutes and massage with damp fingers before washing off. Honey acts as a humectant and moisturizes the skin while whiskey tightens it.

Beat an egg white and add one teaspoon of whiskey. Now, add a teaspoon of milk powder and whisk again to get the perfect consistency. Apply this mask for about 10-15 minutes. It works wonders as part of an anti-ageing routine.
