Did you have a fun time out with your friend group last night? A little too much fun perhaps and now you are not feeling your best. Maybe you just got a couple hours of sleep and woke up with yesterday’s makeup smeared across your pillows. Drink a glass of water and do some simple skincare and you will feel better in no time! Here are 6 steps you can take to recover from a night out.
1. Remove Your Makeup and Cleanse
The first step to feeling better is to get the old makeup off – the faster the better. You do not want that old makeup to continue clogging your pores and cause breakouts. The Dermalogica Precleanse Makeup Remover is a deep-cleansing oil that removes makeup from the skin by melting it away and provides a gentle cleanse.
2. Cleanse Again
If you still feel like your skin is gross and want a deeper cleanse of the skin, you can go in with another cleanser. There is a wide range of different cleanser, choose your favourite or one of these ones if you want new recommendations.
The CeraVe Blemish Contorl Face Clenser is a refreshing gel-to-foam facial cleanser with 3 essential ceramides, salicylic acid and niacinamide. It gently removes dirt, impurities and excess oils from the skin. The cleanser also works to protect and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, ensures hydration and promotes a healthy complexion.

Another option is the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser. It is a gentle, non-foaming cleanser enriched with has 3 essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid. It cleanses, hydrates, and helps restore the protective skin barrier and lock in moisture. This cleanser works best for normal to dry skin.
If you feel up to it, you can also try to experiment with new cleansers and try to figure out which cleanser is the best for you. Wether that is on from CeraVe, La Roche Posay or Dermatologica.
3. Hydrate
The third point in the lists of steps to take to recover from a night out, is to hydrate. Now that your face is thoroughly cleansed it is time to bring some hydration back to your skin. You can try out a serum for this, one recommendation here is the CeraVe Hydrating Cyaluronic Acid Serum. The serum is contains 3 essential ceramides to protect the skin’s natural barrier and is designed to lock in moisture and provide 24-hour hydration. Just what you need after a long night out.

The hydrating serum enhances the skins’ capacity to infuse and retain water for optimal hydration. The fast-absorbing, non-greasy formula is infused with hyaluronic acid. The serum is also paraben-free and hypoallergenic, works for all skin types and especially for sensitive skin.
4. Sheet Mask/ Eye mask
One of the most refreshing skincare products to use when struggling with a hangover or whenever your skin is feeling a little tired is a sheet mask and an eye mask. Now that you have cleaned your face and brought some hydration back to your skin, you can put on a sheet mask and/ or and eye mask and snuggle up in bed with a cup of tea and your favourite Netflix show or a book.
The 111SKIN Rose Gold Mask – Brightening Facial Treatment is the perfect sheet mask if you want to renew, illuminate and transform dull skin. It is infused with damask rose, 24-karat gold and Argireline that works towards illuminating and soothing the complexion.

Another recommendation is the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Sensitive Double Repair Moisturiser which is lightweight, oil and fragrance-free and suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin! It helps restore the skin’s natural barrier, protect against external aggressors, and provides hydration without leaving a sticky residue.
If you know you are going outside to catch some fresh air, remember your sunscreen!

Drink water, eat good food and go for a walk to get fresh air. But if you go outside, remember your SPF! You do not want your skin to get sun damage or risk skin cancer.
