A Hair-of-the-Dog Cocktail for Your Skin
Bar Skin and Body is an vegan skincare line whose products are all named after popular drinks (think: lemondrops, kamikazes and mimosas). So, it's a no-brainer that they would also create a product to help with hangovers. Their Rehab Kit features the Hangover Eye Gel Mask and the Sakebalm Lip Rehab.

Though we don't notice it as much, lips also get parched after a night of alcohol-fueled escapades. Made with rice bran, coconut oil and cocoa butter, the vanilla-scented Sakebalm felt amazing on my dry, chapped lips (apparently, I'm a mouth breather when I'm sleeping it off). It's slightly glossy, but not sticky, and the roller ball reminds me of my middle-school favorite: Lip Smackers Liquid Lipgloss.

Unlike other eye masks that come in patch form, this one gets scooped out of the jar and put right beneath the eyes (less user error when you're not operating at full capacity). Packed with cucumber and cranberry extracts, it. made my puffy eyes noticeably less water-balloon-like. But it's the cooling factor that really stands out. At brunch the next morning, my eyes felt revived and more awake than the rest of me did.

A Travel-Ready Kit for Around-the-World Drinking Games
I gave this kit to one of our assistant editors to test, because there's only so much I can drink in the name of a story. Skyn Iceland's Hangover Beauty Kit comes with four travel-sized treatments (for those times when you sip on a little too much in-flight champagne and need to look sober before landing, perhaps?) that are infused with Icelandic glacial water and skin-soothing botanicals.

While the Icelandic Relief Eye Pen, The Antidote Cooling Daily Lotion and an Arctic Face Mist are nice, the real standout is the Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels. Each eye gel is packed with Arctic cloudberry and cranberry seed oils -- both powerful antioxidants. And while some eye masks drip down your face, this one stays in place while working its magic. Though one application can't really tell how well it works in the long run, the cooling gel definitely perked her up and helped her feel a little more refreshed.

The Aromatherapy Oil That Takes Away the Bad Feelings
Thanks to all the previous products, you look pretty... but now it's time to actually get yourself out the door. Enter: 21 Drops Detox -- the perfect antidote for a mimosa brunch that somehow turned into a tequila-fueled romp through West Hollywood (true story).

I bathed myself in this the next day. The therapeutic blend of cardamom seed oil, geranium leaf oil, juniper fruit oil, lavender flower oil and jojoba oil promises to flush toxins from your body, dispel nausea and ease water retention.

I tend to bloat up like a pufferfish after a couple of drinks, so I liked where all of this was headed. I can't say that I noticed an immediate difference in my bloated face, but the scent was soothing, and actually made me feel a lot less miserable. I'm most definitely stashing this by my bedside for any other nights (or days) out.

After a night of drinking, you don't always have the luxury of sleeping in and hiding your tired, hungover face from the world. That's where these beauty products come in. They won't soothe your throbbing headache or take away the nausea (that's what these crazy hangover cures are for), but they do promise to make you look like you didn't overindulge at the company mixer the night before. We decided to test drive these hangover beauty products to see if they could really deliver refreshed, revived skin after one too many cocktails.
