G’day GRAZIA readers, how are you going? Have a nice Australia Day, did you?

Chances are you had a few drinks, spent some time in the sun and are feeling a little less-than fresh this fine Friday. It’s ok though, because there are ways to quickly nix that hangover you’re nursing (or at least the external evidence) so even if your head is throbbing, your skin will be glowing in a matter of minutes.

Here’s how.

Go for the eyes
They say your eyes are the window to your soul, but today, they’re merely a window into your lack of sleep. Pop on a pair of souped-up under-eye patches while you get ready to de-puff and tighten that tired area.
