RED CARPET READY SKIN
By Nateisha Scott
It is officially the start of award season and whilst we see effortless skin on the red carpet, it is important to note that great skin is not a result of any quick fixes or night before treatments. Although there are many facials and treatments that can tremendously improve the look and feel of your complexion, bright and radiant skin comes a regular focused routine both for the skin and body.

With that being said, the month leading up to any red-carpet event should be focused around a stricter routine where you up the ante with treatments and products that promises to rejuvenate and recharge the skin. For an extra boost, incorporating a daily chemical exfoliant, brightening products, LED treatments and targeted facials in the weeks leading up to the event promises to get your skin off to a great start.
For a daily exfoliant, the Exfolactic Cleanser is a non-foaming cleanser that harnesses the power to deep clean and exfoliate the skin at the same time. The antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory rosemary base will calm the skin as well as treat blemishes and impurities whilst being perfect for exfoliating the skin, resulting in a brighter, clearer and smoother complexion. For a more intense focus, the Celestial Black Diamond Retinol Oil is a highly concentrated night treatment that not only diminishes the appearance of age spots, fine lines and wrinkles but also gently exfoliates by resurfacing uneven skin texture. Exfoliating will help to shed the dead skin cells and reveal revived, smoother skin underneath, creating the perfect start to a flawless base.
Whilst exfoliating, working a brightening treatment into the skin will prepare your skin for its best appearance as you get closer to the event. Star players for this have to be Vitamin C to brighten and tighten the skin as well as Hyaluronic acid for a surge of hydration that will leave the skin looking plump and healthy. The Vitamin C Brightening Booster is a great addition to your current routine whereby delivering a concentrated dose of active brightening ingredients to target hyperpigmentation, age spots and discolouration. The powerful trio that is Vitamin C, Liquorice Root and Glutathione works to drive for a brighter complexion, that with an effective delivery system pushes the ingredients deeper into the skin without irritation.
Incorporating an LED treatment into your weekly routine will actively stimulate the skin ready for any event. The Luxury Cryotherapy Facial is a divine treatment that is available at 111CRYO/HEAT, Harvey Nichols and uses the power of purified air from the cryotherapy machine combined with LED light therapy and signature massage techniques to truly lift, firm and tone the face. The facial benefits the skin for lifting, firming, toning and decreasing inflammation for a tighter and more awakened appearance.

Apart from keeping up with your regular routine, incorporating mask treatments is a great way to deliver ingredients directly to the skin.

The Bio Cellulose Facial Treatment Mask is designed to combat dehydration, dryness and irritation that infuses the skin with soothing, hydrating and brightening ingredients.

Stimulate your circulation and blood flow with a mini facial massage, including your current skincare routine by applying your serum or moisturiser in an upward motion until fully absorbed. The Nocturnal Eclipse Recovery Cream or Y Theorem Serum is a perfect deliverable for a final step in your evening routine.

When you wake up, to reduce any puffiness, apply your mask straight from the fridge onto your skin and work in with a facial massage or roller to stimulate the blood flow as well as to reveal a toned and tightened complexion.

The Y Theorem Day Cream is a vitamin, antioxidant and Hyaluronic acid- infused formula that plumps and revitalises the skin whilst looking and feeling hydrated and nourished. An ideal product at the base of your foundation and for a lighter version for those skin types that can’t take rich textures, the Y Theorem Day Cream Light NAC Y2 still contains all the benefits your skin will need pre-event.
