The Ultimate Party Season Skin Prep Timeline

Good things take time; a saying which rings particularly true when we’re discussing beauty prep. Think you can get yourself glowing from head-to-toe in one quick session? Before you answer, let us ask you a few further questions.

Have you recently cut yourself a lopsided fringe? You’ll need a month to grow it out. Are you craving a bit more muscle tone before your beachside holiday? Give yourself at least six weeks to build strength. Do you want to transform your dull, congested skin into a glowing, hydrated complexion just in time for your summer social events? Well, with party season looming, you’re going to need more than an overnight spot treatment and a manifestation journal. Facts.

And while we can’t necessarily help you with your journey to a six-pack, we can guide you through a tailored treatment routine that will have you glowing throughout the party season.

Forget the plush beds, neck massages and essential oils (however glorious they might be); this treatment plan is all about pairing technology with proven ingredients to deliver real results. Because we want our skin twinkling like the Christmas tree come December and looking as vibrant as the neon party dresses, we’ll be sporting all January long. And honestly, we won’t settle for anything less!

What you’ll need…

Well, to state the obvious, you’ll need a complexion that’s ready to be transformed. Plus, five minutes of alone time to read through this article and a little over two months to treat yourself to a series of skin-rejuvenating treatments.

Secured those? Great.

From there, you’ll be ready to embark on Clear Skincare Glow Getter Skin Journey. This 12-week skin programme involves nine in-clinic skin treatments over six fortnightly visits. Within this period, two cosmetic injectable appointments are recommended to amplify your skin journey, leaving you looking fresh-faced, revitalised, and ready to face any and all upcoming social occasions.

The breakdown…

Over the course of three months, the Glow Getter Package includes three HydraFacial treatments, three signature vitamin C peels and three masks and LED light treatments. If you are worried about fine lines, they would recommend two injectable sessions during months one and two (though you’ll obviously want to choose your appointment dates carefully to allow injectables to settle prior to any outings). Valued at $1161 (excluding injectables, with anti-wrinkle treatments from $179 per area and lip filler from $389), Clear Skincare Clinics are offering this all-in-one package for just $739.

Additionally, if you’d like your treatments to go even further, add five of the Clear Skincare products (including an SPF, cleanser, and serum) to your plan.

What to expect month by month…

November

Visit 1: HydraFacial

First, let’s prep the base. In just one 30-minute HydraFacial, you’ll attain results that have otherwise only been achievable through months of brightening masks, lengthy extractions and hydrating serums.

With zero pain, zero downtime and immediate results, this celebrity-loved facial uses a vacuum-like pen to loosen and draw out congestion, which is then replaced by an infusion of active ingredients like hyaluronic acid. The result? Radiant, clear, and hydrated skin.

Visit 2: Vitamin C Skin Peel

After basking in your post-HydraFacial glow for two weeks, it’s time to amplify those results with the revitalising Vitamin C Skin Peel. With powerful antioxidants, this peel plays a particularly important role around the party season.

How so? Designed to protect against free radical damage triggered by the sun, bad food and drinking one too many champagnes, it’ll help your skin to appear bright and fresh – even when you’re not.

LED Light Therapy Treatment

As a stand-alone treatment, an LED light treatment reduces inflammation associated with acne and rosacea. However, when used following a treatment, light therapy will accelerate results while simultaneously reducing downtime and lingering redness.

Optional: With minimal downtime and up to two weeks for full results to kick in, we recommend booking in for anti-wrinkle injections late November to smooth and soften existing fine lines.

By this point in your treatment plan, you’ve established a relationship with your trusted and trained Clear Skincare Clinics clinician. The benefit of having all treatments under one roof? Your plan and requirements are all tailored to your face, lifestyle and needs.

December

Having completed the first month of your treatment plan, you’ll already be noticing the difference in your skin. You’ll likely already be receiving comments about how glorious your glow is looking, but we’re not finished yet.

Visit 3: HydraFacial

As a follow up to last month, the second HydraFacial will maintain clarity and radiance. However, this time, it’ll penetrate even further to reduce oiliness, fade pigmentation, age spots and fine lines.

Visit 4: Vitamin C Skin Peel

Considered the Clear Skincare Clinics’ “pre-event peel,” this gentle yet potent exfoliant will boost the health of your skin and protect it from the effects of a hot Aussie summer.

LED Light Therapy Treatment

Strategically added to the end of your treatment to minimise downtime during the busiest period of the year, the LED light therapy step is every treatment’s best friend.

When the goal is to glow and go, who has time for redness? Certainly not you. Stimulate, hydrate and repair with a little LED action. Oh, and get a quick and much-needed relaxing power nap while you’re doing it.

January

By this point, you’ve been coasting through the busy period looking youthful, vibrant and healthy-as-ever. Now that party season is in its final month, it’s time to maintain.

Visit 5: HydraFacial

After your third HydraFacial session, your therapist will show you how much gunk has been extracted from your T-zone. By this time, you should notice a significant reduction compared to your first session.

Visit 6: Vitamin C Peel

As with anything in life, consistency is key. Allow the complete benefits of the vitamin C peel to come to fruition in January.

LED Light Therapy

Wrap your treatment plan in one radiant, hydrated bow as you finish things off with an LED Light Therapy treatment.

What’s left to do? Pour yourself a cold spritz and enjoy the confidence that comes hand-in-hand with having healthy, clear skin. Oh, and book in again for next year, of course…
