You partied hard and woke up to see a zombie in the mirror. But don’t panic—these eight steps will have you looking like your fabulous, flawless self again in no time.

1. Targeted eye cream

After washing your face, use a targeted eye cream like Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge Eye and Lip Contour Cream to deal with dark circles. Gently massage around the eye area for two minutes. Put the cream in the freezer for 15 minutes beforehand to maximise its effect, as the cold will help constrict blood vessels and reduce puffiness.

To help replenish and moisturise your skin, apply a super hydrating mask like the Snow Fox Skincare Arctic Breeze Detox Cooling Mask and leave it on for 10 minutes. It's an instant pick-me-up for your skin, and the cooling effects will wake you right up so you can get on with your day.

Apply a tightening serum like La Prairie Skin Caviar Lift to shape and define the face. Apply by pressing with the palms of your hands from the centre of your face and slowly moving outwards, which helps relax features and prepare the skin for make-up.
