"We&amp;#039;ve all had those weeks when nothing&amp;#039;s gone right \u2014 your little one wakes up with a fever, you miss a deadline at work, the boss is unhappy with your performance, and you bury your frustration in a bucket of ice cream. But there&amp;#039;s no need to let stress ruin your weekend \u2014 or your skin.  Tension can be a real complexion killer. Luckily, we&amp;#039;ve found a few surefire ways to erase the signs of stress and aging \u2014 fast. Indulge yourself over the weekend with these easy at-home tricks, and your skin will look refreshed and radiant by Monday morning. And as a bonus, you&amp;#039;ll feel more relaxed, too.  There&amp;#039;s no need to go running to an expensive spa to give you back your glow, says Nicole Pozzetti, a skin-care expert from Advanced Skin Care Day Spa in Manhattan. Most people have the ingredients for a rejuvenating face mask right in their refrigerator.  Soothe Irritated Skin When Pozzetti wants a quick Saturday night skin boost, she drops a handful of blueberries into her blender, mixes them with a few tablespoons of milk \u2014 skim or whole milk both work fine \u2014 and adds a few drops of witch hazel, a natural astringent found in most drugstores.  She purees it all together into a smooth paste, but you can do it just as easily by mashing the ingredients together with a fork or a spoon in a bowl.  Apply the mixture to your face just as you would with any other mask and gently massage it into your skin. After five minutes, jump into a lukewarm shower \u2014 resist the temptation to make it steaming hot, which will leave you with dry, tight skin \u2014 and let the steam loosen the mask for you. Wipe off any remnants with a soft washcloth.  &amp;quot;Your skin will look bright and nourished when you&amp;#039;re done, and the mask will calm any pockets of irritation. Skin tends to flare up when someone&amp;#039;s under stress,&amp;quot; says Pozzetti.  Make a Moisturizing Mask Another pampering treatment involves making a honey and oatmeal mask. Combine a couple tablespoons of honey with a few egg whites and a spoonful of oatmeal to make a thick, gooey paste. Apply it for 10 minutes and while it sets, sit down and put your feet up.  To soothe the delicate skin around your eye area \u2014 where stress shows first \u2014 steep two green tea bags in lukewarm water and place them on your eyes after they&amp;#039;ve cooled.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a great way to get in two treatments at once,&amp;quot; says Pozzetti. &amp;quot;The mask will exfoliate and hydrate your skin while you relax, and the tea bags reduce swelling and puffiness. Green tea is a great choice because it&amp;#039;s got antioxidants in it, but chamomile also has anti-inflammatory properties. Either will work.&amp;quot;  Get Your Glow On Pozzetti also advocates cleaning skin gently with witch hazel (just dab some on a cotton ball and brush over your face) and then lightly steaming your skin for about 10 minutes over a bowl of hot water that has some olive oil mixed in. The natural enzymes in witch hazel make skin glow, and the gentle steam heat will leave your skin looking dewy and plump. Save this treatment for Sunday night or even early Monday morning and you&amp;#039;ll greet the new week with a smooth, bright complexion.  Back to Basics And, finally, be sure to get plenty of sleep all weekend, Pozzetti says, and eat lots of fruits and vegetables. &amp;quot;The results will show in your skin, I promise, even after just a few days.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
