4 to 6 weeks to go

 

To save the rush (and hassle) of shaving on the big day, simply use the SmoothSkin Pure Fit ahead of time to visibly remove unwanted hairs. This portable IPL (intense pulsed light) device is perfect for the upper lip, arms, underarms, legs and bikini line. After about 2 weeks, you’ll really start to notice significant hair reduction, with any remaining hairs appearing much finer and lighter.

The Pure Fit offers an easy, no fuss solution to hair removal, ideal for beginners to at-home IPL devices or anyone with a busy schedule. Each session only takes 10 minutes for full body hair removal.

 

2 to 4 weeks to go

Freshen up your skincare routine with the glow-inducing benefits of red LED light therapy for smoother, fresher and more youthful skin—perfect for seamless makeup application. Typically used in-clinic to regenerate healthy cellular activity and refresh collagen synthesis, you can now achieve the same wrinkle reducing results from home with the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask. Clinically proven to reduce wrinkles in just 4 weeks, there’s no better time to ramp up your Christmas party prep than now.  

95% of users also saw an improvement in skin tone, texture and firmness after using the wearable, hands free mask for 10 minutes, 5 days a week. One customer said of the mask: “I wasn’t expecting much of a result but was hopeful. Within a short amount of time my skin texture improved, pores were smaller and my lines all round have definitely decreased. A bonus is I find it a relaxing 10 minutes just for me!”

Don’t have 10 minutes? No problem. Target the areas you want to refresh the most in 3 minutes with the CurrentBody Skin LED Eye Perfector and CurrentBody Skin LED Lip Perfector. Loved by celebrity makeup artist’s to get their clients ready for the red carpet, these devices are great for quickly depuffing eyes and plumping lip volume. 

Nick Barose, makeup artist to Lauren Ridloff, considers the Eye Perfector as the perfect first step before makeup: “Concealer glides on like a dream, with a flawless finish.” Designed to stimulate collagen and elastin, this eye brightening gadget uses 4 clinically proven wavelengths to diminish dark circles, eye bags, crow’s feet, brow furrows and fine lines. Other fans of this 3-minute wearable device include ‘Emily in Paris’ star Lucas Bravo and beauty expert Wayne Goss. 

Highly commended as the Best Skincare Device in the Marie Claire Skin Awards 2022, the Lip Perfector is unrivalled for creating plumper, smoother and softer lips. Although named the ‘most popular needle-free lip filler alternative’ by COSMOPOLITAN, it’s also proven to dramatically reduce any bruising and swelling after injections or filler.

Now that you know your skin will be glowing and makeup-ready, the ZIIP HALO can give your facial features an instant lift. Microcurrent facials are a ‘non-negotiable’ for beauty editors, aestheticians and A-lister’s alike to achieve that sculpted, toned and effortlessly ‘lifted’ look. As the world’s most powerful nanocurrent and microcurrent at-home facial device, the ZIIP HALO comes preset with ‘THE LIFT’— a facial lifting treatment that visibly lifts brows, sculpts the jawline and tightens slack skin in just 4 minutes.

You can use this right before your event to lift, contour and brighten. But you’ll see even better results after a few weeks; and who doesn’t want to look their very best?

It’s getting colder, and the day of the Christmas party is getting even closer. Make sure your skin stays plump, bouncy and hydrated with the FOREO UFO 3 LED & NIR Advanced Skin Wellness Booster, proven to increase moisture levels by 126% in just 2 minutes. Even more effective than sheet masks alone, the UFO 3 is designed to mimic in-spa facials, featuring cryo-therapy, thermo-therapy and LED light therapy. The best part? You can personalise your facials with FOREO’s wide range of UFO-Activated Masks

The best way to ensure your sheet masks and skincare products are fully absorbed into your skin, is with regular steam facials. When used for around 5 minutes after your first cleanse, you can easily lift trapped oil, makeup, dirt and debris from your pores. This sets you up with the smoothest, clearest and freshest skin for flawless makeup application on the day of your big event.

And for anyone experiencing a last-minute breakout, don’t worry. The FACEGYM Acne Light Shot can reduce breakouts in 20 minutes using clinically proven blue LED light therapy. It instantly calms inflammation; reducing pore size and oiliness by up to 80% without any need for downtime. One reviewer said, "My teenage son has already claimed it for himself. Truly though, he had this breakout on his chin, he used it for 4 days straight and I couldn't believe the difference it made in his breakout! By day 4 and it was practically invisible."

Blue light at the specific (415nm) wavelength is also known to prevent future breakouts and soothe inflammatory acne. We recommend using FACEGYM’s Acne Light Shot once daily to keep your complexion clear before the all-important Christmas party.
