Has all the partying left you feeling and looking a little too tired? Follow these 3 easy steps to help your skin recuperate and restore its radiant glow this weekend.
After a month of continuous usage of your special occasion foundation, contour creams and highlighters, it’s time for a detox. Purify your skin by using a clay mask that will help to absorb excess oil and pore-clogging impurities. Be careful not to over-aggravate your skin and look for formulas, such Origins’ Original Skin Retexturising Mask with Rose Clay ($50) and Laneige’s Mini Pore Waterclay Mask ($38), that are billed as being gentle on the skin.
Hydrated skin looks plumper as it reflects light better, so treat it to a nourishing mask to reverse the ageing effects caused by the recent late nights of excessive eating and drinking. Pop sheet masks like Faith in Face’s Nourish Me ($14.50 for a box of 3, Watsons) into the refrigerator for a quick depuffing effect, or slather on a leave-on product like Erno Laszlo’s Hydra-Therapy Memory Sleep Mask ($135, luxola.com) before bed to help your skin recover while you sleep.
When it comes to tired and dull skin, strategic placement of concealer will help a lot more than covering your entire face with a full coverage foundation, as too much product may actually emphasise the look of dull and tired skin. Less is more! Try layering colour correcting products under your regular concealer – use peach correctors for dark eye circles and yellow correctors to combat redness, then apply a light layer of concealer if need be. You can also apply a lighter shade of concealer on the sides of the nose and at the laugh lines to create the appearance of plump skin.
