New Year’s Eve is an important time for many of us – a time when we’re making memories, spending time with family and reconnecting with old friends. There’s so much pressure to have a great time that often we feel a little let down by how the night actually goes. Well, here are our top tips on how to make New Year’s Eve the most fabulous night of the year.
Treat yourself to a new outfit
Choose an outfit that you’re going to feel comfortable in. There’s no point squeezing into a bodycon dress if you’re going to give yourself a stomachache sucking your tummy in all night! There are so many options out there for clothes and shoes that will make you look and feel fantastic at the same time; you don’t need to compromise any longer.
Restore confidence in yourself
After the hectic weeks building up to Christmas, your skin might be looking its age. Bags under your eyes, lines, double chins and loss of elasticity become far more pronounced when we’re tired. Good news is, there’s a solution! SkinBase Radio Frequency Treatments lift and firm the skin, smoothing out wrinkles and tightening sagging areas. These treatments are painless, relaxing, and you can see results from the very first one. It really doesn’t matter when you start reading this, it’s not too late to get booked in with your nearest therapist. Start looking younger right away!
Pick a new drink
Make the night special with a delicious new tipple. A fancy prosecco cocktail or a selection of artisanal gins will give you something to enjoy all evening long.
Scrummy snacks
Most people will start to flag at some point during new year’s eve, so ward this off with some nibbles! Yummy homemade snacks – think pesto pinwheels, roasted rosemary almonds, bruschetta and smoked salmon blini. Some handmade snacks will keep you and everyone else going all night long. And it beats a frozen box of party snacks.
Get your makeup perfect
Think of the Radio Frequency Treatments we mentioned earlier as an opportunity to create the perfect canvas for you to apply stunning, eye-catching makeup to. With smooth, firm skin you won’t need to worry about covering up flaws, you’ll simply be able to enjoy the fun of creating a striking New Year’s makeup look. If you have time a microdermabrasion facial will further guarantee the perfect base for your makeup.
Start 2019 off right
New Year’s Eve is a time to let loose and enjoy yourself, and you shouldn’t have to worry about how you’re going to feel the morning after. Before you go out (or before your guests arrive) on the 31st, make sure your fridge is well stocked for your favourite ‘recovery breakfast’. Get your coffee set up while you’re getting ready – whether that means filling your machine with ground beans and water, or just topping the kettle up.
Get set for bed!
Make sure your bed is made and there’s a glass of water on your bedside table. Put your skincare within easy reach so you don’t skip this important step. Queue up a film to watch on Netflix while you recover in the morning. You’ll be amazed how much self-care you can get done in the grips of a hangover! What better way to say goodbye to 2018 than with a completely enjoyable, confidence boosting evening? And what better way to welcome the New Year than with a day of gentle self-care?
