Post-party prep guide: Beauty all access

With so much time being spent on the night before the party, with the well-practised regime for women including numerous painstaking steps beginning with the physical acts of plucking eyebrows, removing unwanted hair, curling eyelashes, face-scrubbing (in the hope that one of these days it’ll actually involve blackhead removal), all done before even the moisturising and make-up process can begin, this long and enduring process can easily be put to an end once the night does. With the photos done and dusted once the make-up has been perfectly applied, and the next day only involving grimacing at the idea of breakfast, or even the idea of getting out of bed, it can be easy to forget that our faces should still be treated kindly and there are ways for it to still look as healthy and beautiful, despite all that occurred before. Here are a few ways to save our faces.
