And sometimes do our best Janis Joplin imitations. Whoops! Hopefully a bad case of Hangover Face is the worst thing you woke up with. Not that I'm accusing you; perhaps you know a friend that's suffered from the telltale symptoms? Puffy face, puffy red eyes, dry dull skin, dark circles, possibly also bags the size of steamer trunks.
What to do? Er, to tell your friend 'Jane' to do? First of all, did she take her makeup off, or faceplant directly onto the sofa? If the latter, start with a quick detox mask. In the meantime, park either Peter Thomas Roth's Cucumber mask in the refrigerator, or a washcloth soaked in that handy mix of green and black tea that I mentioned in a previous post. Remove the detox mask, and cover your face with PTR mask (even around your eyes), put in moisturizing eyedrops, and drink this concoction: 12 oz glass of water with one tab Berocca, one tab Alka-Seltzer, chase with a milk thistle capsule. Alternatively, smooth on a soothing/hydrating gel (even plain aloe vera gel works), and cover with the chilled washcloth. Put teaspoons over your eye sockets (yes, the convex bowl parts). Emerge 10 minutes later miraculously de-puffed and on your way to sort-of normalcy. Now get in that shower and get to work!
