ou’re already well aware of which McDonald’s is open all night and where to go shopping for munchies at 4 a.m. In fact, you’re a regular. But how do you manage to pull it together the next morning without looking like you spent the evening on all fours licking the barroom floor? And without a shower? These products can help:

Wake me up before you go go
Tame the lock-mess monster with a couple of spritzes of this Freshen-up Mist by Jonathan. Created to “refresh and rework models’ dirty hair” when shampooing just isn’t possible, this mist is great for waking up skin, too. $18 at Sephora, Fashion Mall, 8702 Keystone Crossing.

Well red
Nothing’s more of a dead giveaway that you’ve been up to no good than bloodshot eyes. Fix that with Visine Advanced Relief, $1.94 at Wal-Mart, multiple locations.

Be a bathing beauty
You likely smell like the bottom of an ashtray if you were out in the bars, so at least run a couple of baby wipes over your skin as a makeshift shower. CVS SoftCloths Supreme, 99 cents at CVS/pharmacy, multiple locations.
The pits
Carry a travel-sized deodorant stick to beat the heat. Follow it up with a shot of body spray to mask any lingering manly musk. Speed Stick, 99 cents at CVS/pharmacy, Tag Body Shots $2.97 at Wal-Mart.
Oil spill clean up
Want to get rid of the massive shine all over your face? Just rub one of these blotting cloths over that mug to sop up that excess mess. $10 at Sephora.

Breathe easy
Sure, you made it to work on time. But you forgot to gargle a little bit of Listerine. No problem, just run an Oral-B BrushUps tooth wipe over those pearly wipes for a minty-fresh quick fix. $1.29 at CVS/pharmacy.
Dud-ly Do-right
You’ve managed to pull yourself together quite nicely. But your clothes still reek. A couple of sprays of Febreze and you’re good to go. $4.44 at Wal-Mart.
