When you’ve got a festive night of fun ahead, the last thing you want is your makeup sliding off halfway through the evening. the secret is simple – start with great skincare. A hydrated and protected base ensures your foundation glides on smoothly and your glow lasts longer. Follow these four essential skincare steps for long lasting party looks.
Skincare Steps for Long-Lasting Party Looks
Cleanse
Start with a gentle but effective cleanse to remove any dirt, oil, or leftover makeup from the day. Clean skin helps your makeup go on smoothly and prevents clogged pores.
Product recommendation: The SkinBase Skin Renew AHA Cleansing Foam. A vegan, exfoliating mousse formulated with natural fruit acids to gently brighten and rebalance.
Tone
Toner is often overlooked, but it’s an important step for a simple but thorough skin routine.A good toner is an opportunity to infuse your skin with moisture, while also helping to balance your pH, minimise the appearance of pores, and remove any traces of cleanser or impurities. As an added bonus, moisturiser applied to toned skin absorbs more effectively, for a healthy, hydrated glow that looks amazing under makeup.
Product recommendation: SkinBase Soothing Toner – the perfect post-cleanse ritual for calmer skin.
Moisturise
As mentioned above, hydration is key to glowy, long-lasting party looks. So, your essential skincare steps should always include a nourishing moisturiser. Choose a non-greasy product that gives your skin moisture without making your makeup slip. For an extra boost, gently massage it into the skin to stimulate circulation. Your skin will thank you!
Product Recommendation: Hydration Max Moisturiser. Experience the ultimate hydration boost.
SPF
It might surprise you, but SPF is still essential – even when you’re getting ready for an evening event. You’re often applying your makeup while it’s still light outside, and UVA rays (which cause ageing and pigmentation) can penetrate windows and damage your skin. Wearing SPF helps protect your complexion from this exposure, supports long-term skin health, and will keep your complexion smooth and radiant throughout the night.
Product Recommendation: Daily Protect SPF. Your essential final step for radiant, resilient skin.
Bonus: SkinBase Hydro Treatment
If you’ve got time to prep before an event, why not have a SkinBase Hydro treatment! Relax while an exfoliating peel unclogs your pores and leaves you feeling fresh. Then, enhance your glow with an infusion of hardworking actives via a personalised serum. We would recommend scheduling your treatment 48-72 hours before your event, as redness is possible in the first 24 hours.
