How to Prep Your Skin Before a Big Event (In Under an Hour)

Whether it's a wedding, a date night, a photoshoot, or a major meeting, glowing skin can give you the extra confidence boost you need. But if you don’t have time for facials or a week-long prep plan, don’t worry—you can get real, visible results in under an hour with the right products and strategy.

This guide walks you through a quick, effective pre-event skincare routine that smooths, hydrates, and revives your skin—featuring Briteglo’s forehead wrinkle patch and under-eye mask for targeted, fast-acting results.

Why Pre-Event Skincare Matters

Photos, lighting, and even makeup can highlight things like:

• Forehead creases
  
• Puffiness or dark circles
  
• Dry, textured skin

A smart prep routine can:
✔️ Hydrate and plump the skin
✔️ Calm redness and puffiness
✔️ Smooth expression lines
✔️ Create a better base for makeup

The One-Hour Glow-Up Routine

Here’s how to get your skin event-ready in 60 minutes or less:

Step 1: Cleanse & Refresh (5 mins)

Use a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, or leftover makeup. Follow with a quick splash of cold water to wake up your skin and tighten pores.

Optional: Use a gentle exfoliant or enzyme cleanser if your skin can tolerate it—this helps remove dead skin and boosts glow.

Step 2: Apply a Hydrating Serum (2 mins)

Reach for a water-based serum with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, or peptides. This will instantly plump and hydrate the skin while prepping it for treatments.

Step 3: Briteglo Treatment Time (20–60 mins)

🌟 Forehead Wrinkle Patch (30–60 minutes)
Apply to the forehead to smooth out expression lines. It helps relax the appearance of creases before makeup—and gives a natural, lifted look.

👁️ Under-Eye Mask (20 minutes)
Place under the eyes to reduce puffiness and brighten dark circles. You’ll look more awake and refreshed in minutes.

💡 Pro Tip: Do this while styling your hair or getting dressed to maximize your time.

Step 4: Remove & Moisturize (3–5 mins)

Once your patches are off, lightly tap in any remaining serum and follow up with a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer.

Look for ingredients like:

• Squalane
  
• Glycerin
  
• Aloe vera (for soothing)

This will lock in hydration without making your skin too slick before makeup.

Step 5: Prime & Go (optional for makeup wearers)

If you’re applying makeup, go for a smoothing primer to blur pores and fine lines. Your skin should now be fresh, hydrated, and event-ready.
