New Year Body Boost Beauty

The festive season is well underway and when all the parties are over our bodies will be flagging and pleading out for a boost! So I have compiled a list of the best treatments to replenish your aching bones and tired skin and the beauty products that will help you fake it when in dire need!

So, its the morning after and the mirror is reflecting exactly how you feel! Instead of re-applying make-up to cover up how you feel, try some invigorating products to get you on the mend.

Tired Tresses
De-tangle your tresses with hangover hair shampoo by Daniel Galvin Jnr at Waitrose, these hair essentials are totally organic and natural, they will revitalise and transform your tired and dull locks, and they don’t cost the earth either! There is a shampoo, conditioner and a treatment (just in case the night was a long one!)

Flagging Face
Get rid of the first signs of partying all night with two slices of cucumber! Sorry, only joking – although this is a proven way to waken your eyes and natural, who has the time to do that really! Especially if all your guests are still snoozing in the next room, so I would reach for Garnier Eye Roll On, it is proven to hydrate and cool tired eyes wherever you are, it will even apply over make-up so no need to worry about smudges!

If you are looking for a skin saver or a treatment that will really make a difference then try Korres 3-in-1 Cleansing Emulsion (£14); no need to buy three separate products as part of your cleansing routine, this formula includes cleanser, toner and moisturiser and works as a facial treatment. Simply massage it in to dry skin and wipe off with cotton wool to achieve a silky smooth complexion before you go out. When you stumble in, slather it all over your face, eyes included to cleanse your skin and rinse off then apply another layer before going to sleep including your lips to give yourself an all in one facial treatment that will nourish, you will wake with glowing skin.

After wearing a cake worth of make-up to each party it is time to let your skin breath, so for the day after wear a lightly tinted moisturiser to give you coverage, which will keep your skin hydrated, giving it chance to get rid of impurities. If you need more coverage try MEMEME Anti Fatigue Foundation, (£6.99, Superdrug). The key ingredient is algae extract, known for its skin-nourishing minerals and detox properties. It works to get rid of skin-dulling toxins and brighten a tired complexion.

The one main rule to loosing the morning after party look is to take your make-up off the night before! It couldn’t be simpler with a facial wipe! There are no excuses!

Body Pick Me Up
It’s an SOS situation the morning after the party and you need an all-in-one magical solution, ‘doesn’t exist’ your thinking! Well it does now! Liz Earle Superbalm is one super solution and it is totally natural. The balm is packed with pure plant ingredients including vitamin E and beeswax – if you have a spot apply a touch to the area and its gone, suffering with chapped lips or elbows – the soothing beeswax will solve it. The ultimate power of this tiny little super pot is its replenishing abilities; rub the balm between your hands and apply it on your face, neck and chest, even your feet – whatever part of your body needs a pick me up. The rosehip oil will give your face a glow and the lavender oil and echinacea extract will soothe your tired head.

Party Feet
A place that will no doubt be the sorest (except maybe your head!) after wearing stupidly high and fabulous heels all night long. So double up and take a bath to soak those feet and your body while you’re at it. Gently massage the ball and heel of your feet to relax the muscles.  Try the Boots Gorgeous range to get you back on your feet, use Boots Gorgeous Feet deeply intensive moisturiser (£4.99) or Boots Gorgeous Feet Overnight Rescue (£1.99).
