Good old H2O
We might sound like your mum, but alternating each alcoholic drink with water while you're sill in the bar WILL help your skin the next day.
Don't believe us? Believe one of the world's leading dermatologists, Dr Pimple Popper, who explains: 'The reason you crave water when you are hungover is because alcohol reduces your Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH); this hormone regulates the amount of water in the blood. Your skin can become dehydrated (not the same as dry skin) - lotion on your skin isn't going to cut it - you need water!' Make a pact with a friend to do this so you're more likely to stick to it.
Eat your greens, and reds, and yellows
You might be craving is a greasy fry-up. But eating colourful veg will help to restore the Vitamin A that the alcohol has sucked out of you, reinstating your natural glow. If you can manage it, we recommend Jamie Oliver's Hungover Noodles or a Shakshuka.
Drink Vodka. Genuinely.
'Try to avoid sugary alcohol based drinks, as these contribute to skin swelling. Stick to vodka and tonic; - says Dr Pimple Popper. Guys, this is literally doctor's orders. Cheers!
Put your face on the rocks
Skin redness can be caused by alcohol dilating your blood vessels. One way to reduce this is to pop a cold compress on the affected area for a few minutes. But be warned, extended periods of drinking can cause permanent redness and skin damage. Drink responsibly y'all, if not for your dignity, then for your beautiful face.
