How to look fresh at work after a hangover?

Working after a hangover can be a challenge, as the symptoms affect your concentration, productivity and ability to get things done. Headaches, fatigue, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, reduced ability to focus… Symptoms that cut into your efficiency!

The best way to avoid a hangover is to take care of yourself before heading out for the night (drink in moderation, alternate alcohol with water, eat before going out), so you look fresh at work the next day!

What steps should you take?

It can be really tough to put on a good face at work after a hangover. Here are a few steps you can take to help you look and feel better at work:

• Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to rehydrate your body throughout the day.

• Eat: have a nutritious meal, like eggs or fruit, to help replenish lost nutrients.

• Freshen up: Take a cool shower, brush your teeth and do your hair to feel fresher, which also helps ease hangover symptoms.

• Wear sunglasses: to protect your eyes, which are sensitive to bright light.

• Dress comfortably: Wear clothes that are comfortable and suited to your work environment, so nothing gets in the way while you work.

• Choose a comfortable hairstyle that doesn’t tighten around your head.

• Apply some makeup: Use a concealer to cover under-eye circles and help you look more awake.

• But above all, avoid alcohol: Avoid alcohol, caffeine and fatty foods, which can make symptoms worse and affect your mood and energy levels.

Remember that the best way to avoid a hangover is to drink in moderation or to not drink at all.

By taking care of yourself, you can make sure you look good and feel good at work, even after a heavy night of drinking.
