Planning Ahead: How to Prep Your Skin for a Big Event
Whether it’s a wedding, milestone birthday, reunion, or simply a long-overdue holiday, wanting your skin to look its best is completely natural. But the key to glowing, confident skin on the day of your event? Starting early — and choosing the right treatments for your goals.
At Platinum Cosmetics, we regularly help clients prepare for important moments with tailored skin plans designed to deliver calm, balanced, radiant results.
Here’s how we recommend planning your pre-event skin journey.
Start With a Skin Consultation
The most effective treatment plan is the one built specifically for you. We always begin with a professional consultation to understand:
Your current skin condition
Any upcoming timelines
What results you’re hoping for (e.g. brightness, smooth texture, firming, hydration)
From there, we’ll recommend a series of treatments and home care options suited to your skin and schedule.
Book a skin consultation to get started.
Timeline: When Should You Begin?
Here’s a general guide we follow for pre-event preparation:
3–6 months out
This is the ideal window for any more intensive treatments like laser rejuvenation or skin needling. These treatments stimulate collagen over time and are best spaced out in a series.
1–3 months out
We shift the focus to refining and supporting the skin barrier. This may include hydrating facials, gentle peels, or active skin care products to enhance clarity and glow.
1 week out
Keep things calm. No new products or treatments. If you like, we may perform a final barrier-supporting facial to keep skin smooth, soothed, and hydrated — perfect for makeup application or bare-faced confidence.
What Treatments Do We Use for Event Prep?
Some of the most popular options include:
Fotona SmoothEye or LipLase for subtle softening around the eyes or lips
Skin needling to support texture and tone
Professional facials to hydrate and reset the skin
Customised home care to maintain results between appointments
You can explore our full range of skin rejuvenation options to see what might suit your needs.
Avoid Last-Minute Decisions
We know life gets busy — but if possible, don’t leave your prep until the week of your event. Most advanced treatments take time to show results, and your skin will always respond better when it’s not rushed.
Even if your event is only a few weeks away, we can still recommend supportive treatments to give your skin a boost.
