How to put your appearance in order after sex, flight, spree and other overloads

There are many situations in which a man can lose face for some (sometimes very long) time, but, fortunately, there are no fewer ways to get it back quite quickly.

Of course, we are not talking about reputational damage after "getting drunk - swearing - breaking a tree", but about cases when it hurts to look at your own reflection in the mirror. We share the secrets of returning the unsightly biomass to its human appearance.

How to put your appearance in order after the gym?

There are several reasons for red faces and eyes after training. The first is increased blood pressure. The first step here is a sauna and then a cool shower. This will tone the blood vessels, the redness of the face and eyes will subside. The second is dry air in the gym, profuse sweating and towel rubbing. After moisturizing the eyes and washing off sweat in the shower, apply a soothing face serum with chamomile - it will help to quickly relieve skin irritation and remove redness. Budget Hello Beauty serums are effective, very small - they will not lose space in your gym bag.

As for styling products, it is better to use matte products for blonde hair, and with natural or stronger shine for dark hair. Paste is almost always a matte product (blondes write), cream, gel and wax - almost always with shine (brunettes write), but clay is usually invisible on the hair and, perhaps, the most universal tool. Clays can be on two bases - water and fat. Water holds worse and sometimes crumbles like dandruff, fat holds better and looks more aesthetically pleasing, but you can wash it off. Therefore, let's still go back one step and remember about other products if we didn't manage to make friends with clay.

When choosing a 2-in-1 product for the gym, the most important thing to pay attention to is the absence of dimethicone and other silicones in the composition. After training, you still want to breathe freshness, and not feel like in a tank of oil. Dimethicone has another bad property - it accumulates on the hair and scalp, and over time there is an obsessive feeling that the head is not washed, in the worst case - dandruff and itching may appear if the scalp is oily.

How to put your appearance in order after a flight?

Give up tomato juice, which will be offered by flight attendants, and in general from everything salty Both in the process and immediately after the flight. Also, try to periodically walk around the cabin, to warm up and accelerate venous blood flow. This will minimize the puffiness that makes you look wrinkled and tired after the flight.

Well, if the flight was more like a "Hangover" than a business trip to Brussels, then the next morning you should definitely use Blóm microneedle patches with caffeine, which fight puffiness under the eyes. And of course, do not forget about a penny tablet of succinic acid for ingestion, which accelerates metabolic processes in the body and helps to recover faster.

In addition to the problem with swelling after the flight, you are waiting for problems with dry cuticles around the nails, an oily face (the skin reacts with abundant sebum secretion to dry air in the cabin) and scalp. You should not prepare in advance, contrary to the recommendations of bloggers - the skin will not carry additional moisture on itself in order to moisturize during the flight, and you will definitely not change moisturizing masks on your face every half an hour. Therefore, immediately upon arrival at the hotel or home after the flight, wash your face and apply a moisturizer to your face - this way you will significantly reduce the chances of getting a glade of pimples and bumps of sebaceous plugs the next day. And then, if possible, take a nap with your feet on a pillow to reduce their swelling.

How to put your appearance in order after a binge?

Look at yourself in the mirror and, if you're scared, do four things:

1. Drink an aspirin tablet with a couple of glasses of water, if you have no medical restrictions on taking it, it will make the blood thinner, relieving you of swelling, have an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect, reducing facial redness and heaviness of the head.
2. Get ice cubes from the refrigerator that miraculously survived from getting into yesterday's cocktail. Rubbing your face with them will quickly awaken both you and your skin, as well as relieve some puffiness, remove dull color and return a healthy blush. Then you can look for a vitamin C cream in your girlfriend's locker to finally invigorate the skin. For the future, I recommend throwing a few sheet masks into the refrigerator - they also work great as a cold compress in the morning. If there is no ice and the girl, go to a cold shower - it will help tone the skin and also help reduce puffiness.
3. If you wake up with fumes, do not use fresh aromas - they only emphasize the alcoholic smell. It is better to choose something spicy or tobacco: firstly, such aromas, as a rule, better mask other smells, and secondly, you can always say that the perfumer was inspired by the aroma of mulled wine.
4. If you want to climb to the 100th level of masking, then use concealer for the area around the eyes and the wings of the nose - this is a special masking thing that can be used to cover up bruises from lack of sleep and local redness of the skin. It is important that the shade is perfectly matched (you don't want to look like a spectacled snake, do you?), but any female consultant of every decent cosmetics store will kindly help you with this mission.

How to put your appearance in order after ... going out into nature?

For any long stay outdoors – it doesn't matter if it's winter or summer – it's important to use sunscreen (one of the best is produced by La Roche-Posay) is the only rule. Rule two - even despite the camping conditions, it is important not to forget wash twice a day:in the morning and in the evening. It is better to wash with water from the river than to breed homunculi on dirty skin. And yes - no one has canceled wet wipes. Rule number three — Creams/lotions containing oils and ceramides are best saved from any weathering and aggressive environmental influences. The CeraVe brand has these, or you can buy a quite budget soothing moisturizing lotion Organic Kitchen.

In addition, hands suffer in such conditions. Under the influence of physical exertion and the environment, the skin becomes rough, the cuticle cracks, and the space under the nails becomes clogged with dirt. Therefore, If you don't fish with gloves on, use the following tips: Take a greasy hand cream on a hike and apply it before going to bed. Even such a single care a day will protect the skin from severe weathering, prevent burrs and prevent pigments from plants, soil, soot and other things from eating deep into the skin of the hands and nails. Upon your return, be sure to sign up for a manicure and let the nail service fairies turn the pumpkin into a carriage. If you still can't wash your hands, forget about the dishwasher and wash the dishes yourself – tested on myself: better than Fairy nothing cleanses the skin in a couple of approaches to the sink.

Well, another scourge of hiking is calluses. In the case of a wet callus: if the blister has not burst, then nothing will help except time – you need to let the skin recover and allow the blister to deflate and move away on its own. In the case of a dry callus, creams for rough skin of the feet will help (yes, we apply it to the hands if you have calluses on them) – ideally, it should contain urea (designated as urea in the composition) and/or AHA-/BHA-acids (for example, lactic or salicylic). To make calluses go away faster, such a cream should be applied to your hands every day before going to bed - this is at least, and at most - after each hand wash with soap. At the same time, the cuticle around the nails will no longer be covered with burrs - this will be a nice bonus.

How to put your appearance in order ... After ❤️ sex?

Truly Passionate caresses and kisses, turning into bites, are also quite a serious test for the skin. The same CeraVe and Organic Kitchen lotion will come to the rescue, because after all these mind-blowing frictions and sweet irritations, the main thing is to restore the protective functions of the skin and soothe it. 

Do you need to hide the hiccups urgently? In fact, these are the same abrasions, and abrasions can be easily dealt with with the help of belogent pharmacy ointment - it combines an anti-inflammatory agent and an antibiotic, which, together with an ointment base, help close and disinfect the wound. Any abrasion stops itching in just 15 minutes and heals many times faster and without the risk of inflammatory complications. The tube is small, it takes up no more space in the bag than a pack of condoms.
