DIY detox! Experts weigh in on the post-partying remedies that celebs swear by
The Next Level Basic author credits IV drips and hangover patches for her ability to throw 'em back. “I turned 30 and I can’t hang as much as I can," she said on SiriusXM's The Michelle Collins Show in April 2019. "Like, I definitely get IVs on the reg. I get them to come to my house. ... For a hangover, it really does help."
She also told a fan in February 2018 that she has another trick, tweeting, “I also use hangover patches, so there’s that.”
What Zoe Saldana Tells Us: "Before going to bed, I put Epsom salts into a warm
bath and soak for 15 minutes. The next day I wake up with half the night erased." What the Expert Says: Magnesium sulphate (a.k.a. Epsom salt) can reduce bloating by drawing fluids out of the body, says Laura Ann Conroy, an aesthetician for Bliss. For morning-after puffiness, smooth on the Body Shop’s Spa Fit Gel Massager ($30, thebodyshop.com). Its grapefruit essential oils help flush water out of the system.
What Allison Williams Tells Us: "The smell of rosemary in my eye cream wakes me up. It’s pretty spectacular and helps diminish dark circles after a late night of partying." What the Expert Says: Though rosemary is a proven antioxidant, vitamin K constricts blood vessels, helping under-eye circles diminish faster, notes facialist Micheline Reboh of NYC’s Paul Labrecque Salon and Spa. Try Peter Thomas Roth’s Eye Rescue ($100, peterthomasroth.com).
What Liv Tyler Tells Us: "Hair of the dog always works. A nice breakfast is also very important." What the Expert Says: Skip the alcohol. "It just delays the inevitable," says physician Frank Lipman, founder of NYC’s ElevenEleven Wellness Center. Breakfast, however, is key: "Eggs contain cysteine to break down toxins and make you feel less sluggish." At the very least, take a natural energy stimulant like CocoaWell ($30, Whole Foods).
What Shay Mitchell Tells Us: "To get rid of swelling...I put green tea bags on my eyelids. Or I grab cold spoons that I leave in the freezer and put them on my eyes." What the Expert Says: "Green tea contains anti-inflammatory caffeine,” explains Dallas-based facialist, Renee Rouleau. "And anything cold reduces puffiness when applied for 10 minutes." Clinique’s All About Eyes Serum delivers both: a caffeine-rich formula dispensed through an icy metal tip ($28. clinique.com).
What Ashley Benson Tells Us: "I refresh my skin with a cucumber mask, followed by a lot of moisturizer." What the Expert Says: NYC-based dermatologist Dennis Gross maintains that cucumber extract helps attract and bind moisture to skin. No cuke-infused potions in the medicine cabinet? Apply Dr. Jart’s Water Fuse Water-Full Hydrogel Mask ($42 for 5, sephora.com) for 15 minutes. The cool-to-the-touch patch drenches skin cells with hydrating hyaluronic acid.
