No matter how carefully you style your hair and how much setting spray you apply over your makeup, you won’t look quite as fresh on your lunch break as you did when you left the house hours before. Your normal everyday activities naturally take a toll on your appearance, often leaving you with dull hair, oily skin, and patchy makeup by late afternoon.
