Find out some of the skin care perks to your common cocktail sips and snacks when you read more.

Lime: Limes are a favorite mixed-drink garnish, but this fruit is high in citric acid, too. Boil the juice of one lime, a cup of whole milk, and a teaspoon of glycerin to create an overnight treatment. The acid from the lime (which is actually more nutrient-rich than lemon) will gently exfoliate and detox your skin while you sleep it off.

Vodka: Put that extra liquor to good use by stirring up a hydrating facial spritz with argan oil, fresh jasmine, and vodka.

Salt: Lips can get chapped and dry after a long night of sipping your favorite punch. Slough away dead skin with a mixture of margarita salt and honey. Rinse and top off with your favorite balm.

Avocado: Gather one avocado left over from your guacamole dip, an egg white from your arsenal of cocktail recipes, and honey. Mash it all together for a 15-minute hair mask that will enhance shine and moisturize.

Tomato: Chips and salsa can be unforgiving to your waistline, but your skin will love the beauty benefits of the latter. Combine tomato puree with three tablespoons of yogurt and a touch of sugar. Massage the antioxidant-rich scrub into your face, let dry on the skin for 10 minutes, and rinse to reveal a hangover-free facade. Source: Flickr user Stewart and Front Page
