How to Face Prep for Special Occasions

Face Prep for Special Occasions

Everybody always wants to feel your best before a big event. Which is probably why us girls spend so much time preparing every detail of our look days before. One thing I include is to prep my face to ensure my skin looks radiant and so that makeup is applied smoothly. 

Here are 5 things I do to prep my skin for any special occasion: 

ONE: Exfoliate and Purifying mask night before:

Before a big day I love to use my Body Works Seaweed Pore-Cleansing Facial Exfoliator and Boots No 7 Beautiful Skin Purifying Mask. This combo is amazing! It leaves my skin feeling silky smooth.

TWO: Natural oils the night before: 

I like to use natural vitamin E oil with my moisturizer, so I can make sure my skin is plump the next day. Natural oils work faster and more effectively with your skin. Just make sure you use the right one for your skin type (LINK).

THREE: Cold wet towel in the morning: 

I stick a wet towel in the fridge the night before and in the morning I put it on my face for a few minute. This reduces any puffiness and close pores. If you don’t have time for this just splash cold water on your face.

FOUR: Put oil-free SPF if the event is during the day:

If the event is during the day, make sure your SPF is oil free so that your makeup is not sliding off. Also avoid any thick oil moisturizer for the same reason.

FIVE: Put primer under your makeup:

This is one any beauty junkie knows. Primer helps minimize pores, smooth the skin, and makes your makeup last longer. Also spritzing makeup setting spray keeps your makeup in place
