Debs preparation for you ladies!

With so many things to think about ahead of your Debs, I am here with tips to help you feel and look your best!

Skin

We don't all have perfect skin but four simple steps will improve your skin immensely

1. Cleanse: Cleanse your skin one to two times a day; make sure you use an actual cleanser like purpose gentle cleansing wash instead of soaps that will dry out or irritate your skin.

2. Tone: Always use a toner after cleansing your skin as it ensures you have completely got rid of all dirt, oil and makeup. 

3. Moisturise: Moisturise your skin one to two times a day after you've finished cleansing your face and toning. Only use a small amount as too much can clog up your pores! If you are prone to acne or have very oily skin, use an oil free moisturiser

4. Exfoliate: Exfoliate your skin one to three times weekly; exfoliating your skin regularly will prevent acne and an uneven skin appearance.

 

Nails

1. Don't cut or manipulate your cuticles.

2. Use nail hardeners weeks prior to the debs to protect them from breaking and help them grow prior to nail paint.

3. Moisturise the nail bed and the cuticle area.

Spray tan

Preparing your skin for a spray tan is essential. Follow these three steps before getting a spray tan

1. Exfoliate your body; it is so important to do this as dry, rough patches of skin tend to attract and hold more colour than skin which is smooth and soft. Failing to exfoliate prior to spray tan can result in blotchy patches of tan on your elbows, knees and other rough areas.

2. Remove unwanted hairs the day before spray tan as removing them after your spray tan often results in the colour flaking off from your skin.

3. Bring the proper clothes; spray tan solution is likely to remain damp for a while after tan is applied. To prevent the tan rubbing off onto your clothing bring a selection of T-shirts and pants which are as loose as possible.
