But don’t worry, it happens to everyone. Maybe you’ve been partying too hard, fallen asleep in your party make-up, and woken up in a terrible mood. But it’s totally solvable, and that’s why we’re here to help you feel rejuvenated and refreshed, darlings!
What does partying do to your skin?
Partying takes its toll on your skin, leaving it dull. Why? A number of factors come together. Alcohol acts like a diuretic, stripping moisture from skin cells, leaving skin dry and dull. Plus, lack of sleep – a common consequence of staying up late – can hinder your body’s natural regenerative process, leading to dark circles and a pale complexion. Plus, sugary cocktails and greasy late-night snacks wreak havoc on your skin, causing breakouts and irritation.

It’s time to pamper yourself with a long, luxurious bath. If you want to scrub both your face and body to remove oil and dirt from clogged pores, exfoliate with something that cleanses and nourishes, like Josie Maran’s Argan Sugar Balm Body Scrub, or for the face, try something like St. Ives’ cult favorite Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub.
Be sure to scrub your lips as well, and when you’re done, apply a thick layer of Vaseline or your favorite lip balm to leave them smooth and velvety soft.
An old, often overlooked trick is the magic of ice. After a night of carousing, grab a few ice cubes and gently massage your face. This simple act helps reduce puffiness, tighten pores, and improve blood circulation. For extra benefits, freeze some green tea or chamomile tea into the ice cubes; their antioxidants work wonders to soothe irritated skin.
