How to Prep Your Skin the Week Before Your Glam Appointment

September 12, 2026

Great makeup starts with great skin. In the week before your appointment, focus on hydration: drink plenty of water and use a gentle moisturizer morning and night. Avoid trying new products, facials or harsh exfoliants, since your skin needs time to settle and a reaction is the last thing you want before a big day.

Two or three days out, do a gentle exfoliation to smooth texture. The night before, get real sleep and skip salty food and alcohol to reduce puffiness. On the day, arrive with a clean, moisturized face and no makeup. If you wear contacts, put them in before you come. Bring inspiration photos, and tell us about any allergies or skin sensitivities. That's it: you bring the canvas, we'll bring the glam.
