Mondays are hard enough without your concealer folding itself into tiny origami shapes around your eyes. If your makeup is creasing, it’s not betrayal, it’s dehydration.
Skin that’s thirsty will always tell on you.
Think of it this way: hydrated lines are well-behaved lines.
Let's get started with what you have at home
Cucumber slices aren’t just spa drama.
They’re 95% water, cool puffy skin, and give a refreshing top-up.
Moisturiser-as-mask.
Apply a thick layer of your usual cream, chill for 15 minutes, wipe off excess.
It’s a spa moment in disguise.
Damp skin trick.
Moisturiser works best on slightly wet skin (straight after showering). That’s hydration locked in.
