How to look Party Perfect a few tips and routines for the night before/day of that special party that will leave you looking fabulous!

Start the day right! Skip that fry-up from the cafe. Instead, treat yourself to two glasses of water, a fruit cocktail and a multi-vitamin to start off the day. And for lunch, a well-balanced meal, including a good protein source like fish, is a perfect base to build upon for your next night out.

Think about nourishing your body on the inside as much as the outside. It takes discipline, but it’s well worth it when you step out looking and feeling great.
A good bath is the cornerstone of any true home-spa experience. This gives you time to tune it all out and spend some quality time with numero uno. Run the water at a temperature that isn’t scalding hot but comfortably warm enough to soothe tired muscles. To help increase circulation, try adding drops of geranium and cypress oils.
Infusing essential oils into a bath and lighting fragrant candles in the room will set the beneficial powers of aromatherapy into action. Round off the experience with a cup of peppermint tea and honey to help digestion.

Unfortunately, all that delicious bathing leaves your skin depleted of its natural moisture. So, once you dry off, the first and most important step has to be moisturiser. Pay special attention to your thighs and feet when applying your lotion of choice, giving them a mini-massage as you work it in.

Now that your body is feeling fantabulous, it’s on to the face. The best time to tweeze is while you’re still warm and moist. Tidy up those brows as needed but remember not to go overboard and never, ever pluck on top of the brow line. It might not grow back.

For intensive treatments, in come the masks and creams. Only you know your skin best so only you can decide what mask is going to work for you.

While your mask is on, give your hands some TLC with an exfoliating hand treatment , followed by a luxurious hand-and-nail cream. After you’ve washed off your mask you can then use your soft fingers to moisturise your face by using a two-finger-touch in an upward circular motion to give you an extra glow for hours to come.

With body and mind now in happy harmony it’s time to tip the scales back to the other side of your routine. Enjoy the balancing act!
