Don’t think that oily gloss on your face will add shine to your look.

22. We drink to the bottom!

Even inveterate teetotalers use alcohol for the New Year. The main thing is to correctly determine the drink and the dose.

Worth: remember that champagne is not only a tribute to tradition, but also a guarantee of sparkle in the eyes. The drink increases pheromone levels in both men and women. This means that it enhances sexuality.

No costs: lean on cocktails. In addition to a mixture of different concentrations of alcohol (a hangover will be difficult because of this), they contain the lion’s share of sugar and other caloric substances.

23. Go for the smell

The aroma of pine needles and tangerines is a good idea to add something newfangled and fragrant.
