Here's some tips on how to best prepare your skin to achieve a radiant complexion for a special occasion.
4 WEEKS PRIOR:
The best approach is to start a consistent skincare routine weeks in advance, focusing on hydration and gentle exfoliation.
Facial Treatments:
To achieve the best results, book in for weekly Facials. Professional treatments enhance blood flow, which is crucial for promoting cell regrowth and collagen production, anti aging and free radical reduction.
This kick starts your routine.
Establish a Consistent Routine:
Start a gentle but consistent daily skincare regimen including a gentle cleanser, a hydrating serum (hyaluronic acid), and a broad-spectrum SPF.
Consistency is key to allowing your skin to adjust and improve.
Prioritise Hydration:
Drink plenty of water daily to hydrate your skin from within. This helps maintain skin elasticity and a plump, radiant look.
Improve Lifestyle Habits:
Focus on a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and healthy fats, get 7-9 hours of quality sleep, and manage stress levels.
THE WEEK OF YOUR OCCASION:
Stick to Your Routine:
Do not introduce any new products that could cause an adverse reaction.
Exfoliate gently 2-3 times during the week to remove dead skin cells and ensure a smooth canvas for make-up.
Chemical exfoliants like AHAs or BHAs often provide a more even result than physical scrubs.
Apply a deeply hydrating face mask a few nights before the big day, for an extra moisture boost.
Avoid High-Risk Treatments:
Do not get a facial with extractions or strong peels right before the event, as these can cause redness and irritation.
TIP: Book any facial waxing, lash/brow tinting or lamination, a week before the event, to let it settle in.
