If you're going, it's, of course, important to find a dress that's perfect, the best shoes, and have a gorgeous hair and makeup look ready for that day. But with prom about 2 weeks away, it's also very important to make sure your skin and hair are ready for the event. Anyone can cake on the makeup to make sure everything is all covered, but wouldn't you rather have less on your face? I know I would!
So for this week, I'm going to help you get your skin and your hair looking it's best before you do any touch ups, because as any good artist knows, the cleanest canvasses are the ones that end up looking the best!
Skin:
If you've read my previous blogs or talked to me, you know I have one tip that I stick to and that is drinking water. This means start downing the water ladies (and gentlemen too): at least 8 cups a day if not more. Grab a water bottle before you go anywhere and constantly be drinking it up and replenishing it. This is going to cleanse your skin and get rid of the redness and breakouts.
Eat healthy these next few weeks too, so start eating fresh fruits and vegetables and stop with the processed junk food. The junk is just going to cause more problems.
I would only recommend this for oily skinned people, but if you're breaking out a lot, try putting some rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip and dabbing it on your spots once in the morning and once at night. Please don't try this if you have dry skin because it will make your skin even more dry and irritated.
Witch hazel is something not many people have heard of but everyone can use. It is a healing product which can help get rid of scarring and prevent new blemishes from appearing. It doesn't burn or hurt to apply, and all I do is put some on a cotton round and wipe it around my face before moisturizer. It works really well, so give it a try and don't forget to cleanse and moisturize twice a day!
Hair:
All the things I said above about food and water also apply to help your hair. But in addition to those, think about going to get your hair trimmed before the dance so the style holds longer and looks better. There are a variety of oils you can use like coconut, Moroccan Argan, olive, keratin, and so many more. Those all will keep your hair shiny and soft.
The week of prom, stay away from the hot tools. Your hair will look so much better if you avoid heat that week. Rock some braids and ponytails instead and let your hair air dry. Wash it every other day to help keep the oils in, and if it starts to look greasy, stick some dry shampoo or baby powder in it.
As for the day of prom, enjoy it! Don't get stressed out, and have loads of fun with your date and/or your friends! I hope you enjoyed my prom tips and thanks for reading! Feel free to leave a comment and share the post if you liked it. Have a nice week!
Love Always,
