A HANGOVER-BUSTING beauty regime means that in the morning you will look fresh as a daisy, even if you were dancing on the tables until 3am at the office party.
Reach for award-winning Clarins Beauty Flash Balm, £29, to revitalise skin. An instant fix, it leaves the face lifted and glowing after just once application, filling out fine lines. Apply make-up immediately while skin is still damp, or use it as a mask to soothe sensitive skin.
Soothe and calm skin with MAC Prep + Prime Blemish Control Gel, £13. Infused with salicylic acid, the lightweight oil-free formula heals spots and helps prevent further breakouts.
Lock in hydration with Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus Daily Moisure Balancing Serum, £38 from Marks & Spencer. It sinks into dry, parched skin quickly, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.
Finish with Mac Studio Moisture Cream, £25.50, a super-rich creamy moisturiser with skin-nourishing extracts to firm and protect the complexion.
For the perfect pick-me-up use Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Eye Mask, £40 from www.blissworld.co.uk. The marine collagen-infused eye masks take just 15 minutes to instantly perk up the skin around tired eyes.
Apply Aveda Stress-Fix Body Creme, £36, after a shower. Deeply moisturising, the unique blend of sea algae provides 24-hour hydration with shea butter and sunflower seed oil. Best of all is the calming fragrance.
Foundation can be too heavy on tired, dehydrated skin. Instead use a tinted moisturiser. Soap & Glory Glow Job, £11 from Boots, also includes an instant self-tanner offering sheer coverage that leaves a healthy glow.
Then dab on Trick & Treatment Double-Action Under Eye Dark Circle Corrector, £9 from Boots, to neutralise dark patches. It includes soft-focusing spheres to minimise fine lines and has ingredients to combat sluggish, dark pigment.
And use Mac Pro Conceal and Correct Palette, £35, to cover up blotchy skin.
Brush on Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush, £28 from Space NK. A groundbreaking hybrid, it combines lighting effects with an infusion of colour. The lightweight powder delivers a pop of soft-focus colour and a radiant finish.
Finally, Inika Light Reflecting Highlighting Creme, £17 from www.inikacosmetics.co.uk, is a natural illuminator that will revive tired-looking skin. Apply underneath the eyebrow, the inner corner of the eye and above the cheekbone. The satin smooth finish is light and doesn't leave skin looking cakey.
