For the social bee, there is a seemingly never-ending array of social events that they need to attend. Naturally, you would want to look your best each and every time – which is quite a challenge when you’re busy at work or tired from your previous night’s shenanigans. Do not fret – for we have the perfect solution for you to appear well-groomed and fresh-faced for any event! Here is the action plan:
1. Prepare your skin Exfoliation is by far the fastest and the most effective way to freshen up the skin for a party, and the best thing about it is that it can be done within a matter of seconds. Exfoliation helps remove the dead skin cells from the skin’s surface and reveal a fresh and clean skin beneath. The skin looks healthier after a mild scrub. It is easy to apply – just take a small amount and gently massage it on your face with your fingertips, focusing on the forehead, cheeks, chin, and nose while avoiding the delicate area around the eye. Wipe the stuff off your face with the help of wet wipes or splash clean water on your face and then pat dry. Exfoliating a night before leaves you with a smooth, polished, and neat face.
2. Invest in skin products Certain useful products that contain mattifiers (to absorb excess oil off the face and reduce shine), light reflecting particles, and adaptive particles that give the skin a healthy glowy appearance. Skin perfectors work by taking the fatigue off your face, minimize the appearance of dark circles and help you photograph really well. They are rightly called the Photoshop for the face.
3. Style your hair in an instant If you do not have time to wash your hair before a big party, there is a solution for that available now – dry shampoo! Yes, dry shampoos are taking over the market. They instantly freshen the hair and counteract greasiness in the hair. While they do make the hair look a lot more fresh and clean, they also add volume to thin, limp, and lifeless hair. The product is generating raves all over the world and is soon becoming a revolution in the grooming industry.
4. Choose the right fragrance When it comes to staying power, not all fragrances are created equal. Certain notes stay longer than the rest and should be picked if you are planning to stay at a party for a long time. Some fragrances are known for their longevity. Keep in mind that longevity of the fragrance depends on the place where you apply the perfume. Avoid the neck region as it encourages a faster burn rate for the perfume. Apply the perfume to your chest, back or biceps instead. You may apply a little fragrance to your hair as well since it is porous and can hold a scent for long.
5. Be careful about your breath This area is generally overlooked and neglected in the rush to reach the party in time. If you’re at a party, reach out for some crudities or sugar-free gum. These help stimulate saliva production which defends the mouth against bacteria that causes bad breath. Carry a few cardamom pods or fennel seeds with you and chew them to get instant fresh breath. A mouth spray can also come in handy in such situations – it not only takes care of the bad breath, but also the causative bacteria. At the same time, cleaning the tongue is as important as brushing the teeth and flossing.
So there you have it, you’re all geared up to look great and rock the party that you’re headed to! Now all that’s left to be done is focus on having a good time.
