    How to fight the "worked 'til 4am" look?

    I have no problem staying up all night if I had to, but unfortunately my skin doesn't feel the same way, what do you girls do to "refresh" your skin (specially the face, I look like 10 years older everytime I go to bed past midnight... ) What product/technique/trick would you recommend to glow even if you just had 4 hrs of sleep?

    exfoliate gently, then apply apple cider vinegar, then glycerin to moisturize. then apply makeup LIGHTLY, with a moist sponge.

    but that's what i always do, because it's a pretty common problem of mine.

    i used to live on a 48 hour schedule. that's the nice way of saying i only slept every other day for no good reason. i would look in the mirror and think i looked awful, like really awful. since then, i've looked back at pictures taken when i'd been up a while, and i didn't look bad at all. it was all in my head. my expressions were pretty fucked up, though. like i was on something. ick.

    I keep some of those cooling eye gel masks in the fridge at all times. It helps soothe the puffy, up-too-late eye circles a little. I dunno, if it wasn't for club lighting I don't think I'd be able to make money more than one night in a row.

    ^^ Oh, bullcrap! Are you kidding? Look at how hot you are in those Vegas photos with all the partying.

    Hydrate -- make sure you're drinking a lot of water, because that shriveled droopy look comes from dehydration, too. Use good products and exfoliate and moisturize. The cooling masks are good, as are cucumbers or chamomile teabags or other anti-puffiness aids.

    Why are you only getting 4 hours sleep? Day job or school or kids? That sucks just because of, well, no sleep, let alone looking tired.

    Seconding everything already said, especially hydration.

    Also, caffeine.. for your SKIN. Dark chocolate, tea, coffee, whatever floats your boat. Make a scrub out of it. The scrub/massage itself will improve circulation, but the caffeine adds an extra boost by pumping blood to the surface of your skin, making you look less tired.

    A yellow-based finishing powder. Physician's Formula makes a good one. For some reason, yellow seriously revives tired skin.

    Clinique's Moisture Surge. Even the spray kicks ass. If you get the cream, keep it in the fridge and when you need it, smear some on your face, go chill out for 10-15 minutes and rinse it off. You will look and feel 10 times better, no joke.

    I'm not a big fan of water, but my body could really benefit from it, so I'm gonna make it my New Year's resolution for 2008!!!!
    And yeah... it's the kids, I have four of them, so I haven't had a decent night of sleep literally in 10 years!!! .... but I think that is coming to an end soon, since the baby finally sleeps through the night 4-5 nights/week now.


    Thanks for all the advise, great tips and products! YOU GIRLS ROCK!!!!!!!
