Read on to find out our beauty saviours to all of your skin dilemma\'s...

Beauty dilemma 1:

You look like you\'ve done two rounds with Mike Tyson

Too many late nights and after work drinks coupled with caffeine hits and sugary pick me ups has left you with puffy, dark eyes. If you just don\'t have the time to catch up on lost sleep the best thing you can do is drink plenty of water to rehydate your skin and invest in a good cooling eye gel. This one from Matis helps to shrink bags and will give your peepers some much needed moisture. Try keeping it in the fridge for a refreshing pick-me-up the morning after.

Beauty dilemma 2:

Your lips are more cracked than the Sahara Desert

If your pout is playing havoc with your pulling routine pick up a soft bristled toothbrush and gently brush your lips to rid them of any dry peeling skin. Then apply lashings of an intensive lip balm. This one from Ren is the best we could find and will turn your peeling cracked lips into luscious smackers Angelina Jolie would be proud of.

Beauty dilemma 3:

Your complexion resembles bubble wrap

Arrgh! Hangover food coupled with the harsh winter weather has resulted in a grease ridden breakout. Don\'t cancel all your party plans and hide under the duvet just yet though, your spots can be blasted in a couple of days with the right products and a good cleansing routine. Rather than immediately reaching for harsh products loaded with alcohol, clean your skin twice a day with a gentle cleanser which won\'t aggravate your skin further. Then smooth on a specialist skin booster like Dermalogica\'s Overnight Skin Clearing Gel which attacks spots whilst you sleep. Finally, if you can stomach it, drink plenty of green day which reduces inflammation and will keep you hydrated.

Dried out skin

As well as feeling uncomfortable dry skin can speed up the aging process so stop things in their tracks with a nourishing creamy mask. Clarins HyrdaQuench mask is prefect for dry, sensitive suffering at the hands of the harsh winter weather and a constant runny nose. Try applying it whilst relaxing in a hot bath which will help to open up pores giving your skin a real boost.

Your hair is one big split end

Wind, rain and central heating coupled with daily styling and blow drying does nothing for your hair and, come January, it\'s likely you\'ll be paying the price for all those new styles you tried during party season. Try smoothing on this miracle product from Joico K Pac which helps mend split ends and stops new ones from forming, the perfect thing to tide you over to your next hair cut.

Beauty dilemma 5:

Your complexion is dull and sallow

When you\'re feeling under the weather, your skin is usually the first place it shows so head a dull, tired looking complexion off at the door by replacing your usual moisturiser with a brightening cream. Dr Nick Lowe\'s brightening radiance cream contains liquorice which helps to brighten and even our skin tone along with vitamin B3 which stops skin losing moisture and improves circulation.
