What is red carpet-ready skin? Red carpet events often start in the daylight and outdoors and continue indoors, well into the night. So the skin must be well-prepared to continue looking radiant. This is best achieved by starting three months before your event, or taking care of your skin on an ongoing basis. Healthy, well hydrated, blemish-free skin will look great with mineral makeup, and that is always our goal. Makeup should be used to enhance features and beautify the skin, not to cover up imperfections. Tip #1: Replenish lost volume in the midface to look well rested. Botox &/or Fillers can fill and soften the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles. Tip #2: Well-hydrated skin will look radiant and will hold makeup best. A light chemical peel one month before your event helps remove the outermost dead layers of skin. Two weeks before an event, and then again one day before the event, an oxygenating or collagen treatment helps hydrate the skin. It is recommended to do a series of treatments that start at least six weeks before an event. Tip #3: Eyelashes have become the new sign of youth and beauty. With products such as Latisse, rejuvenating the eyes is easier than ever. Latisse takes 4 to 8 weeks to see the results. Tip #4: If you breakout before an event, a facials, microdermabrsions or chemical peels help clear up redness, brown spots and acne inflammation.

The older the person, the less color should be worn on the skin. Follow these 5 simple tips in order to have red-carpet-ready skin. Article written by: Dr. Gene Rubinstein, celebrity dermatologist |
