Does your skin have a hangover? Discover how to recover it from excess sun or alcohol

quinta-feira, 6 de março de 2025



Just like your body feels the effects of a wild night out or a day in the sun, your skin can experience its own "hangover." Alcohol dehydrates the body and skin, leaving it dull, dry, and more prone to irritation. Excessive sun exposure weakens the skin's hydration barrier, increasing sensitivity and speeding up premature aging. But don't worry! There are effective solutions to help your skin recover and return to its natural glow.

Hydrate and Soothe Immediately

The first step to relieve your skin's "hangover" is hydration. Use serums with hyaluronic acid to replenish moisture deep within the skin layers. Another great option is calming creams with ingredients like aloe vera, niacinamide, or centella asiatica, which reduce redness and sensitivity caused by sun exposure or alcohol. Pro tip: Keep these products in the fridge for an instant cooling effect!

Boost Night Care

Nighttime is when your skin enters "repair mode." After thoroughly cleansing your face to remove sunscreen or makeup, apply an antioxidant-rich product, such as vitamin C or E, to combat free radicals caused by the sun or alcohol toxins. Finish with a thicker moisturizer or a regenerating overnight mask to enhance recovery.

Don’t Forget Sunscreen

Even if the damage is already done, protecting your skin from UV rays is essential to prevent further harm. Choose a sunscreen with SPF 50, preferably with hydrating properties for added care. Don’t forget to reapply throughout the day, especially if you’re still exposed to the sun.

Drink Water and Detox from the Inside Out

It’s no use treating your skin externally if your body is dehydrated. Drink plenty of water and eat antioxidant-rich foods, such as berries, green tea, and dark leafy vegetables, to help flush out toxins and restore skin balance.

Your skin's "hangover" can be a hassle, but with the right care, you can bring back its radiance and health. So, next time you overdo it in the sun or with drinks, now you know how to save your skin from the aftermath!

Xoxo, J.
