1. Prioritise Hydration Beautiful skin starts with hydration. Drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your event will help flush out toxins, maintain elasticity, and keep your skin looking plump and radiant.

2. Get Quality Sleep The term ‘beauty sleep’ exists for a reason. Your skin repairs and regenerates overnight, making adequate rest essential for a fresh, glowing complexion. Aim for at least seven to nine hours of sleep each night leading up to your event. If you struggle with rest, try winding down with a calming ritual, such as meditation, reading, or deep breathing exercises. Don’t forget to layer Serum/Primer and The One Repair/Restore to assist in cell regeneration and added hydration whilst you sleep.

3. Nourish from the Inside Out A diet rich in skin-loving nutrients can make a world of difference. Focus on whole, unprocessed foods that are high in antioxidants, healthy fats, and vitamins. Omega-3 fatty acids from nuts and seeds, vitamin C from fresh fruits, and collagen-boosting greens can all contribute to a natural glow. Avoid excessive sugar and processed foods, which can lead to inflammation and breakouts.

4. Move Your Body Exercise increases circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your skin while helping to flush out toxins. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a yoga session, or a full workout, movement will enhance your natural glow and reduce stress—another key factor in skin health. Just be sure to cleanse your skin after sweating to prevent clogged pores.

5. Manage Stress Stress can take a toll on your skin, causing breakouts, redness, and dullness. In the lead-up to your event, prioritise stress management techniques like meditation, journaling, or even just taking time to do something you love. A relaxed mind often translates to a more radiant complexion.

6. Avoid Last-Minute Inflammatory Foods Certain foods can trigger bloating, puffiness, or breakouts—exactly what you want to avoid before an event. Limit processed foods, dairy, and excessive salt in the days leading up to your special occasion. Instead, opt for anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric, ginger, and leafy greens.

7. Practice Facial Massage A simple facial massage can work wonders for lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and promoting circulation for a more sculpted, lifted look. Using clean hands or a facial tool like a gua sha, gently massage your face in upward motions to enhance definition and radiance.

8. Perfect Your Makeup Prep Once your skin is naturally prepped from within, the final step is flawless makeup application. A smooth, hydrated canvas will enhance the performance of your makeup. Our nourishing Serum/Primer and The One Moisturiser work in harmony with your skin to enhance your natural glow without compromising on skincare benefits. Start on a new skincare regimen at least 6 weeks out from your event to see the best results.

Your skin reflects your overall well-being, and a holistic approach to beauty ensures you look and feel your best for any event. With the right balance of hydration, nutrition, rest, and mindful movement, your skin will be primed to glow with your Aleph skincare and makeup.
