6 Easy Ways to Prepare Your Skin for A Special Event

Skin preparation for special events – Is your social calendar starting to become full of Christmas celebrations?

If so, now is the time to prep for your pre-party look. Nailing a flawless finish and glowing skin takes time, effort, and knowledge of what works.

For the best results, you need to plan ahead, giving you plenty of time for your treatments to reach their full effect.

In this blog, Define Laser’s Dr Lindsay Watson shares his 6 top tips to ensure that you and your skin are ready to party and look amazing while doing it!

How Far in Advance Should I Book for Injectables?

If you are choosing to undergo an anti-wrinkle treatmen t, be sure you book your appointment at least 3 weeks before your event. The full effects can take up to 14 days to show, and you want to look nothing less than amazing, so don’t leave it to the last minute.

When it comes to dermal filler, the result is instant, however, there can be some downtime. You may experience some subtle bruising, redness and swelling following your treatment. This can last for up to 7 days, so be sure to include that time frame in your planning.

It is also important to remember that your clinician may be heavily booked leading up to Christmas, so book your appointment before the rush to avoid missing out.

Optimise Your Results in Other Ways Too

One of the great benefits of anti-wrinkle and filler injections is that they give almost immediate results. You can walk into the clinic for your appointment and leave 30 minutes later looking refreshed. It’s great for those for whom patience is not their strong point!

For best results though, a holistic approach will really have your skin glowing. There are additional things you can do to not only prolong the benefits of your injectable treatments but also to maintain ongoing healthy skin.

Consistency is Everything

When it comes to caring for your skin, Dr Watson emphasises that it is essential to be consistent in your routine. A daily skincare routine is easy to maintain and only requires a few simple steps, but it makes all the difference!

“I suggest to adopt a daily skin care routine. Be consistent – and the keyword is consistent – to keep your skin radiant,” he said.

6 Steps to Beautiful Skin

Here are the five simple steps that Dr Watson suggests for an effective and easy to maintain skincare routine:

1: Cleanse and exfoliate your skin every single day.

2. Invest in a good face serum. Facial serums have a wide range of benefits, including hydrating, brightening, fortifying, exfoliating, soothing, and rejuvenating the skin.

3. Use a sunblock. Why? Because Sunscreens are a highly effective means of protecting your skin from damaging UV rays that cause wrinkles, sagging and dryness. A great sunblock is your best defence against all of these! Select a sunscreen that has a rating of at least SPF 30, and one that is lightweight, and oil-free to avoid irritating acne-prone skin.

4. Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise! Night and day. A daily moisturiser is a must to maintain your skin’s moisture barrier and to stop environmental damage to your skin.

5. Hydrate. Be sure to drink at least two litres of water per day to flush away toxins and keep your skin moist and supple. Water also carries nutrients to all cells in our body and oxygen to our brain. Keep a bottle close by at all times and sip regularly.

6. Tailored Treatment Plan. If you have problematic skin that could do with a little more care, consulting with an experienced clinician, such as Dr Watson is an important final step. Your clinician will develop a program that is personalised just for you to address any skin concerns you may have.
