8:59 a.m.: Arrive at your desk. (Early!)

9:01 a.m.: Smarmy co-worker saddles up to you. “Looks like someone had a rough night, eh?”

9:03 a.m.: Co-worker, duly ignored, leaves. You pull out pocket mirror. Ew: puffy bags. Grayish circles. Bloodshot whites. Are those really your eyes?

Clearly it’s time to pamper those peepers, so give the experts at Michaud Cosmedix a shout and book yourself an Eye Ritual treatment.

Using regenerating extracts and botanicals from high-quality product line Talika, they’ll put the flirt back in your wink in less than 45 minutes. After a quick cleanse, they apply a gel-like mask and do some light-touch massage to drain your lymphatic fluid. (Which, by the way, you totally needed to have done.) Then off you go, with a final application of conditioner to promote lash growth.

It’ll banish those bags for good.

Shame it can’t do the same to your co-worker.

Michaud Cosmedix, 69 Newbury Street, Back Bay (617-262-1607).
