“Great skin isn’t about perfection – it’s about nurturing yourself, inside and out,” says Amelia Goff, creator of Fresh Face Skin. And what better time to embrace this philosophy than when prepping for a special event? With a few carefully chosen products and mindful techniques, you can achieve that coveted radiant, sculpted glow so we spoke to Goff to find her step-by-step guide to party-perfect skin that will have you glowing all night.
The Night Before: Prep for Perfection
A flawless look starts with a well-rested, hydrated base. Begin your party prep the evening before with Fresh Face Skin’s Soother Pre-Cleanse, a lightweight oil that melts away makeup, SPF, and impurities without stripping the skin. Follow this with your favourite gentle cleanser to double-cleanse and ensure every trace of dirt is removed.
Next, indulge your skin with the Recovery Mask, a creamy powerhouse infused with calming botanicals and nourishing ceramides to repair and strengthen your skin barrier overnight. Apply it generously before bed for a refreshed, radiant complexion in the morning.
Brighten and Boost Hydration
The day of the event is all about hydration and brightness. Start your morning with a spritz of the Barrier Mist, a refreshing formula designed to protect your skin against environmental stressors while locking in moisture.
Next, layer on the Hydration Booster, a serum packed with hyaluronic acid and antioxidants that plump and smooth the skin. It’s the perfect canvas for makeup, ensuring your foundation applies seamlessly and lasts all night.
Sculpt and De-Puff with Gua Sha
For that lit-from-within glow and sculpted look, take a moment to incorporate Gua Sha into your routine. Apply a few drops of your go-to facial oil and use upward strokes with your Gua Sha tool, focusing on the cheekbones, jawline, and forehead. This ritual not only reduces puffiness but also stimulates circulation and enhances lymphatic drainage for a more lifted appearance.
Pro tip: Keep your Gua Sha tool in the fridge for an extra cooling, de-puffing effect.
A Flash of Recovery Before Glam
Before applying makeup, treat your skin to a quick refresh with another spritz of the Barrier Mist to revive tired skin. A thin layer of the Recovery Mask can also double as a hydrating primer – simply tissue off any excess after 10 minutes, and you’re left with a smooth, plump surface ready for makeup.
A Final Touch of Care
Once your makeup is done, give your skin a final boost by lightly misting the Barrier Mist over your face. Not only does it set your look, but it also provides an invisible shield to keep your skin hydrated and glowing throughout the event.
The Fresh Face Difference
Fresh Face Skin is all about intelligent, effective skincare that blends modern science with the soul of self-care. With products designed to work synergistically, every step of your ritual enhances your skin’s natural radiance, making it the perfect pre-party partner.
So, as you step into the spotlight, remember Goff’s inspiring words: “Healthy skin is an act of self-love- and the best accessory you can wear.”
