Best Hangover Mask for Reviving Tired Eyes
What it is: Revelations RX Tired Eyes, Puffiness & Dark Circles Eye Mask, $14

What is does: Reduces the dark circles, puffiness and fine lines around your delicate eye area, worsened by an angry liver and less than half a night's sleep.

How it works: Place these extra-large under-eye masks beneath each eye, making sure to fit them comfortably to your face shape. Within 20 minutes, their key ingredients of hydrating hyaluronic acid, vitamin A, caffeine and protective hesperidin work to hydrate and refresh your drowsy peepers. Reduced fine lines and puffiness will push the restart button on your lethargic morning.

Best Hangover Mask for Delivering Nutrients
What it is: Farmacy Soothing Coconut Gel Mask, $24

What is does: Rebalances skin's moisture and tone with a veritable green juice for the face.

How it works: This calming sheet mask blends amino-acid-rich kale extracts with vitamin A, coconut gel and a breed of collagen-supporting acid to give skin the nutrients and hydration those seven Jell-O shots viciously stole from it. Leave the mask on for 20-25 minutes (for maximum results, drink an actual green while you wait), then massage the leftover formula into your skin. Afterwards, your skin will feel soothed, soft and nourished.

Best Hangover Mask for Boosting Brightness
What it is: Orlane Absolute Skin Recovery Anti-Fatigue Masque, $90

What is does: Reverses skin fatigue (you know, that thing that happens when you conk out at 2 a.m. on a stranger's hardwood floor?), resulting in a more radiant, toned complexion.

How it works: Apply a thick layer of this gooey substance to your skin, and leave for 10 minutes. A surprising tingling sensation ensues, physically waking up the skin. (It subsides after about a minute). For the remaining time, a mixture of ginkgo, ginseng and hyaluronic acid give the skin a hydrating pick-me-up. After rinsing, your skin will look noticeably brighter. You can also leave a light layer of the product under makeup for extra radiance (which, tbh, you probably need).

Best Hangover Mask for Reducing Face Bloat
What it is: Clarins Shaping Facial Lift Wrap, $55

What is does: Nixes the bloated "puffy face" look that comes with guzzling 64 ounces of pumpkin ale over the course of two hours.

How it works: Slather a thick layer of this creamy mousse onto dry skin, let sit for 10 minutes and rinse. Chinese barley and gingko biloba relieve the fluid retention caused by booze and stress, resulting in a healthier, tighter complexion.

Best Hangover Mask for a Spa-Like Experience
What it is: Sephora Collection Instant Depuffing Eye Mask, $6

What is does: Energizes and hydrates the under-eye area so you look as well-rested as you'd look if you hadn't spent all night ordering rounds of Fireball for the table.

How it works: Close your eyes, and rest the mask over your lids for 10-15 minutes, as if you were getting a facial. (Better yet, sneak in a power nap as you wait for the mask to kick in.) Protective plant extracts help the skin retain moisture, allowing your complexion to look more awake and glowy.
