2. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables to counteract all the sweet and fatty foods you may have been indulging in.

3. Keep hydrated – drink lots of water and fruit juices. Hot water with a lemon or lime squeezed into it has the added bonus of a vitamin C boost.

4. Protect your skin – especiaily if you are out in the cold and wind. Lotil has a hydrating and gentle formula to soothe skin on the face or body. Remember central heating has a drying effect on skin which may exacerbate any sensitive or dry skin conditions. Lotil is great for hands that have been doing too much washing up!

5. Laugh – it's said to be the best medicine so try to enjoy the high moments. Play with your children – especially if they are old enough to play party games – and enjoy their company and let them entertain you.
