7 Tips To Save Your Skin From Feeling Hungover This Weekend
Resurface Your Skin With A Chemical Peel
We know beauty buzzwords like chemical, peel, and acid don’t necessarily scream dewy, glowy, healthy skin. But these peels can work wonders to transform a dull complexion into just that. This two-step liquid peel is our fave. It contains a potent blend of lactic acid and glycolic acid to slough away dead skin cells, instantly giving you a brighter, rejuvenated complexion.
Exfoliate The Rest Of Your Body
There ain’t anything better than the feeling of physically scrubbing away dead skin from every inch of your body. It’s just extremely satisfying to work a coarse mixture all over, before rinsing it away to reveal soft, supple skin. This one by St.Botanica is perfect for a Sunday scrub down, and your skin’s softness will persist well into Monday.
Perk Up Your Peepers With Under-Eye Patches
The endless Instagram strolls, the existential crisis that strikes our brains at 2 a.m., or binge-watching the entire show on Netflix – we’ve all had those sleepless nights. But it can really screw up our appearance by giving us dark circles and under-eye bags. That is where under-eye patches come in handy. The under-eye patches make your under-eyes look less dried and skeletal and dewier, brighter, and plumper instead. Wins all-around!

Apply An Antioxidant Serum
By now, you’ve likely heard rumblings about these things called free radicals. They’re basically like the bad guys of the skincare world they are like little mustache-twirling particles that can take a toll on your skin. The superheroes in this scenario? Antioxidants. These heroic ingredients play a crucial role in waving off skin stressors like environmental damage – UV light, blue light, pollution…the list goes on and on. Apply an antioxidant rich serum to pave your way to healthier complexion.
Try An Overnight Face Mask
Want to wake up to brighter, more hydrated skin that has a halo of its own? Here’s a heart-stoppingly great formula we love and drool over. You can capitalise on the reparative processes while you snooze by adding this product to your Sunday-night beauty arsenal.
Stay Hydrated
This one might feel like a no-brainer, but without adequate water intake, all other beauty efforts are futile. It’s an indisputable fact that water makes everything better, from the skin to hair and even mood. A hydrated Sunday is the first step towards an excellent Monday.
Buh-bye dull skin!
