Sometimes fatigue suddenly pours in from nowhere. There is still so much work to be done. How can you quickly cheer up and even get some rest? There are some steps you can take to do this, depending on where you are. This can be a refreshing shower, massage or special exercises, healthy masks and vitamin cocktails that will help you to normalize your condition, invigorate and refresh.
Ways to restore energy and rest in a short time
If you feel completely overwhelmed after a hard day, the most acceptable is to take a shower, as contrasting as possible. During the day, a mass of bacteria accumulates on the body, sweat and sebaceous secretions clog the pores of the skin and prevent it from breathing. A contrast shower will not only help to cheer up, but also open the pores, the skin will acquire a healthy color, begin to breathe fully, and you will feel a surge of energy.
A bath with a water temperature of 35 ° C for 3-5 minutes also perfectly relieves fatigue. You can add a few drops of lavender or rose oil to the water. A warm bath taken for 10-15 minutes soothes the nervous system. While taking a bath, you can apply a cosmetic mask to your face to help give your face a fresh look and relieve swelling from the eyelids.
Mask for a tired face
To prepare a refreshing mask, take:
- lemon - 2 tablespoons;
- cucumber juice - 2 tablespoons;
- kefir - 2 tablespoons
Mix these ingredients, take a clean cheesecloth and apply this mixture to it. Apply gauze on a dry, clean face (without touching the eyelids) and hold it for 10-15 minutes. Then remove the gauze, rinse your face with warm, then cool water and pat your skin dry. After such a mask, the skin of the face is not only nourished with vitamins, but also noticeably tightened, which visually makes you younger and fresher. Be sure to moisturize your skin with a nourishing cream after the mask.
If you are under stress, a sedative decoction can help you relax. For him, take:
- peppermint leaves - 2 tsp;
- hop cones - 1 tsp;
- water shamrock leaves - 2 tsp.
Tea from this collection is brewed with boiling water and infused for 15-20 minutes. The filtered infusion can be taken half a cup before bedtime.

Lack of energy can be associated with a lack of vitamins. In this case, you can quickly restore the lost energy with the help of lemon and honey. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into a glass and add a tablespoon of honey to it, mix well and take the resulting mass one teaspoon 3-4 times a day.
Hands, feet, eyes - relieve stress and fatigue
