Even if you do manage the time to care for yourself, the flu, colds and other illness can leave you looking run down for days or weeks. These tips will help you look good when you’re sick, or at least a bit healthier.
Hydrate
When you’re sick it is difficult to drink or eat anything. But it is necessary to hydrate your skin from within by drinking plenty of water and have a hot cup of herbal tea, instead of coffee.
Light Make-up
When you’re sick, you look pale. Do not overuse makeup as this will only make your face look worse and cause skin irritation or affect the respiratory tract. Put on light make-up. A little moisturizer helps soften skin; add a bit of blush for lighter skin with a thin layer of concealer to cover the rash. A neutral color for the eyes should be good.
Use Tea Bags for puffy eyes
To battle under eye bags, try this tea remedy: Take two cold, wet teabags and place them over your eyes while you lie down for 15 minutes. If your eyes get puffy from congestion, sleep with your head slightly upward to allow fluids to drain more easily from your face.
Add some jewellery or a bright scarf
Dress up to pep up your spirits and draw attention away from your less than perky complexion. Aim for colors that complement the warm tones in your skin, especially if you are pale or sallow.
