Say that for New Year's, you chased a few too many drinks with some salty diner food (we won't tell). It was totally worth it — except for the puffy skin you woke up with the next day. The next time this happens, Sobel recommends trying an egg white mask: "Egg whites can have a drying, tightening effect on the skin. They also provide some exfoliating properties."

To avoid over-drying the skin, follow the egg white mask with a moisturizer — and avoid it altogether if you're breakout-prone, as Dr. Sobel claims that egg whites can exacerbate breakouts.
