Having extra dry skin during important events can be nasty. It can make our faces look dirty on a day when we're supposed to look perfect. Without make up, white and flaky blotches all over our face can be an ugly sight. And, when we have make up on, these dry and flaky spots can make our skin look uneven. The best cure for this skin emergency is slathering on some moisturizing balm on your skin before you put on your make up. You can also put on some Estee-Lauder Re-Nutritiv before a big day in order to wake up with a smooth face that has a radiant glow.

A zit on a first date can be quite a hassle. People say that a big, confident smile can hide your biggest flaws. Unfortunately, that doesn't always work. With a huge zit on your face, the most radiant smile can easily be overshadowed. Tea tree oil has been used as antidote for zits since ancient times. Putting some on the night before your big date will magically make your zit disappear. For faster results, try using some Clinique Spot Treatment Gel. It will zap those unwanted, occasional zits.

With an important day ahead of us, lacking sleep is inevitable. Our excitement for the event tend to keep us up. Sometimes, last minute preparations and worries can also be the culprit. Of course, you don't want to show up in an important event looking like a racoon. So, you can try putting some tea bags over your eyes. The tannin found in the tea can help lesson the discoloration. Another thing that you can do is put on a light coat of corrective concealer under your eyes. And, if you are prone to this, perhaps you should put a daily does of eye cream under your eyes.
