Recently, we celebrated July 4th and it got me thinking about beauty hangovers! How best can we DEAL with them after swimming all day, being out in the sun, drinking, AND maybe eating not so great? I'm about to share some pointers with you that can be applied to any holiday or celebration that is coming up on your social calendar...
Your eyes will more than likely need a bit of TLC. If they're bloodshot use eyedrops! Naphcon A from any CVS or Walgreens will be perfect. If you wear contacts then Visine will help tremendously. Your eyes will love you once again with this simple trick - they need hydration too, and eyedrops relieve redness, and add moisture at the same time. If there is any under eye puffery going on, try a frozen spoon placed over your eyes - only for a few seconds - to help constrict the skin and de-puff. Repeat as desired. You may also run a cold ice cube over your under eye area a couple of times, to achieve the same effect. 3. Soothe Cracked Lips
Exfoliate your lips in a circular motion with a toothbrush. Use a homemade mixture of coconut oil and brown sugar to revitalize your pout! Then keep them well lubricated all day with a simple vaseline or rosebud salve. Read this article for more easy DIY beauty products.
4. Replenishing Primer
If you have to wear makeup, then I would suggest you invest in some Too Faced Hangover Primer - it is made for this type of job. Infused with elements such as coconut water and fruit oil, this primer will help your face get through the day. Wearing alone or under makeup is your choice. I would suggest a very light makeup day for you at this point. We have already had to add these refresh my face steps to our makeup routine in order to look human again, so I would just keep it light and do a mascara, concealer, and lip moisture kind of beauty regime.

Getting lash extensions should feel like a luxury, but dealing with mysterious redness, itching, or swelling can quickly turn the experience stressful.
