Daily body scrubs, high-functioning hydration and effortless tanning – this comprehensive body kit will ensure your skin is ready for any wardrobe choice. The key is to find products that will seamlessly slip into your daily routine without much fuss. Extend your facial gua sha massage into your body protocol, add a luxury body scrub into your daily shower and lock in moisture with a body oil.
From having a skincare routine for your hands to taking your nail vitamins, there are plenty of at-home products that will keep your mani and pedi salon-fresh. Think extra-rich hand and foot treatments, nail serums and a pro nail file for all your at-home manicure essentials.
Everyone wants their skin to look its best whatever the occasion, so working towards a healthy, fresh complexion is key. It means less of a need for make-up and is the best base upon which to apply skincare and any make-up you do wear, resulting in a healthy, glowing look. Choose gentle skin-resurfacing products, at-home facial devices with lifting, depuffing and brightening benefits (remember, consistency is key), and plumping and hydrating moisturiser.
Plan your treatments right, and getting ready for an event will become a breeze. Look to book an eyebrow tidy and a lash lift (to make the most of your mascara) around three to five days before (not earlier), a facial about a week prior (but make sure it’s not the first time you’ve experienced that type of facial and the products) and if you opt for a tanning treatment (advised if your outfit shows off your skin and you want an instant glow), ensure you have it around two days before.
