Glow Guide: How to Get Your Skin Event-Ready

With summer around the corner, it's officially party season! From Melbourne Cup to Christmas celebrations, end-of-year festivities, and balmy summer gatherings, it's time to ensure your skin is as radiant as the occasions ahead. Whether it's prepping weeks in advance or getting that last-minute glow, here's your ultimate guide to flawless, event-ready skin.


The Lead-Up: Build Your Skincare Canvas

Great skin takes time, and the weeks leading up to your big event are perfect for laying the groundwork. The goal? Bright, hydrated, and smooth skin that creates the perfect canvas for makeup (or no makeup at all!).

  • Exfoliate: Smooth and renew your complexion with treatments like the iS Clinical Fire and Ice Facial. This professional-grade treatment uses a combination of exfoliation and hydration to resurface the skin, reduce fine lines, and boost radiance.
  • Hydrate: Lock in moisture with the Hydrafacial—a multi-step treatment designed to cleanse, extract, and hydrate. Ideal for deep cleansing while giving you that dewy, plumped-up glow.
  • Brighten: Add a Vitamin C serum, like those from our iS Clinical or Aspect Dr collections, to your daily routine for that extra touch of brightness.

The Final Stretch: One Week Out

With just a week left, it’s time to dial up the glow! This is the moment for treatments that focus on hydration, texture, and tone.

  • Laser Genesis: For those looking to achieve even skin tone and refined texture, Laser Genesis works wonders. This non-invasive treatment uses gentle heat to stimulate collagen production, reduce redness, and shrink pores. Bonus? Zero downtime.
  • Hydragenesis: If you’re after a treatment that combines the benefits of Laser Genesis with the hydration power of a facial, Hydragenesis is your go-to. It’s a top-tier option to achieve that smooth, luminous look for the big day.

The Day Of: Glow, Baby, Glow!

Now it’s all about the final touches to make sure your skin looks its absolute best:

  • Hydrate and Prime: Use iS Clinical Reparative Moisture Emulsion as your go-to moisturiser and makeup primer. It hydrates, smooths, and creates the perfect base for long-lasting makeup.
  • Sunscreen (Always!): Whether indoors or outdoors, finish with Aspect Hydrating Face SPF 50+ or iS Clinical Eclipse SPF 50+ to keep your skin safe and glowing all day long.
