As well as more mince pies than strictly necessary, the festive season usually means a packed social calendar. From office parties to meals with friends, there’s nothing better than enjoying time with loved ones over the holidays (except a Christmas cocktail, maybe).
If you’ve got a Christmas party on the horizon, getting prepped isn’t just about finding the perfect outfit. If you’re wondering how to sparkle just as much as that tinsel, we’ve got your back. Read on to find out our favourite steps to make Christmas party prep a breeze.
1. Give your hair a treat
Your Christmas party is a great excuse for a top-to-toe pamper. Before you jump in the shower or bath, put on a hair masque to nourish your locks. It’s the perfect way to get silky-soft tresses, whether you’re planning Hollywood curls or a glamorous up-do. If you’re feeling really fancy, you could even add a face mask (try our Detox Facial Masque or Sensitive Facial Masque for the ultimate pamper).
2. Exfoliate, shave and hydrate
Our three-step process is the best way to get soft, glowy skin (the perfect accessory to that Christmas party dress). Remember to soak your skin in warm water for a few minutes before you start shaving.
- Exfoliate: using our cruelty-free Shave Scrub, buff away any dead skin cells or old fake tan. This step helps you get the closest shave too, reducing any ingrown hairs.
- Shave: our award-winning razors have precision-engineered blades and an ergonomic handle to help you get a close shave without any nicks. Pair it with our soothing Shave Cream.
- Hydrate: After you’ve finished shaving, hydrate your skin with our moisturising Shave Balm. It’ll help soothe your skin and make it feel as amazing as it looks.
It’s as easy as that. Ready to get a flawless shave? Sign up for our razor subscription service, then add on your favourite products to make the most of our revolutionary system.
3. Add a bronzed glow
The weather outside might be frightful, but you can still get that holiday glow. If you want a tan for your Christmas party look, it’s time to reach for the bottle (unless you’re lucky enough to live somewhere with winter sun).
We love our vegan, cruelty-free Tanning Mousse. Pick your shade (either Medium or Dark), then use our handy accessories to get the best application. Don’t forget to pick up a Back Tanning Applicator and Kabuki Brush to help you reach those tricky bits.
Our Tanning Drops are your go-to for your face. Simply add them to your favourite moisturiser, choosing exactly how much bronze you want. Our Tanning Drops are non-comedogenic too, which means they won’t block your pores.
4. Don’t forget the details
Getting that perfect party look is all in the details. Before the big day, you might want to think about prepping the often-forgotten areas of your body too.
- Pluck your eyebrows
- Paint your nails (including toenails!)
- Take care of any peach fuzz (our Wax Strips are your go-to)
