Dates should always be scheduled for the weekend. But then, let's not talk about what 'should happen' because it makes sense only in an ideal world, which we sadly are not a part of. Also, if you ever get asked "Wanna catch up tonight?", and you say "No", you, my friend, have some real catching up to do. It often so happens that you have the prospect of a date right after work, but by the time you're out of work you look like you have run a marathon and haven't showered for several days. The end result? You refuse, or you end up putting them off. It's not your fault, though. Thankfully, there is a solution. We have listed out 6 clever ways to freshen up and be date ready after work, when you don't have the time to shower.

Your face will instantly have a fresh glow.
