Oh, dear. The morning after. While I'm not one for late night partying (anymore), I understand that there are some times that things get a little too festive. If you had a little too much green beer last night, here is some help.
I will keep the instructions short and, more importantly, at a whisper...
Go to your kitchen right now and grab:
A potato (raw) leftover from last night's dinner
Apple cider vinegar (raw if you have it)
Honey
A small bowl
A glass
A fine grater (like the kind you would use to grate Parmesan cheese).
Congratulations! You are now ready for this 5 step program!
The potato juice and honey used in the mask treatment will tighten and refresh a puffy, partied-too-late face (even for you designated drivers who stayed 'til the bitter end to cart everyone else's drunk asses home - blessings to you!).
The beverage, known as "switchel", has historically been used as a drink to keep workers hydrated when working long, hot days in the hayfields. It will help to rehydrate your body and get you back to work :)
- Cut two eye-sized slices off of a small potato. Grate the rest of the potato into a bowl. Squeeze out the juice, add a squirt of honey and apply to freshly scrubbed skin with a cotton ball, making sure to also include your eye area. Without getting it into your eye, obviously. Oh, good! Your eyes are at least open. This is a good start!
- Grab a glass and fill it 1/4 full with honey, 1/4 more of raw apple cider vinegar and fill the rest with cool, pure water (you can also vary the amounts to taste - just go easy on the vinegar - trust me).
- Place the two slices of potato over your eyelids and SLOWLY sip the switchel mixture while resting.
- Rest for 20 minutes, then rinse of the potato mask with cool water, following with toner and a good, hydrating moisturizer to help with the dehydration your skin is likely experiencing (along with the rest of you).
- Go back to bed.
Ha! I love it! Awesome idea!
