Holiday Skin Prep: Best Facial Treatments for Events & Photos

Holiday parties, family gatherings, and endless photos are right around the corner. This is the perfect time to prep your skin with professional treatments that deliver instant glow and long term results. From DiamondGlow to chemical peels and dermaplaning, here's how to get your skin event ready this holiday season.

Why Holiday Skin Prep Matters

The holidays are busy, exciting and often stressful which can show up on your skin as dullness, dryness, congestion, or uneven texture. Prepping your skin ahead of time helps:

  • Create a smooth, radiant base for makeup
  • Improve tone, texture, and hydration.
  • Boost confidence for events and photos
  • keep skin healthy through colder, drier, months

Planning your treatments strategically ensures you glow before the big moments, not after.

Top Treatments for Holiday Ready Skin

DiamondGlow Facial

Perfect if you want immediate results with no downtime.

DiamondGlow deeply cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and infuses customized serums all in one treatment. It leaves skin instantly brighter, smoother, and hydrated, making it ideal before holiday events or photos.

Best for: Dull skin, congestion, dryness, uneven texture

When to book: 3-7 days before your event

Chemical peels

If you're looking for a more dramatic refresh, chemical peels are a great option.

Peels work by exfoliating dead skin cells to improve tone, texture, fine lines, acne, and pigmentation. With proper timing, they can completely transform your skin just in time for the holidays.

Best for: acne, dark spots, uneven tone, fine lines

When to book: 2-4 weeks before events (depending on peel strength)

Dermaplaning

A holiday favorite for smooth, glowing skin.

Dermaplaning gently removes dead skin and peach fuzz, instantly revealing a brighter complexion. Makeup applies flawlessly afterward, making it perfect before parties and photos.

Best for: dull skin, dry patches, makeup prep

when to book: 1-5 days before your event

How to Plan Your Holiday Skin Timeline

  • 4-6 weeks before: Start corrective treatments like chemical peels
  • 2-3 weeks before: Follow up with maintenance facials
  • 1 week before: DiamondGlow or dermaplaning for glow
  • 1-2 days before: IS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial (often called the Red Carpet Facial) to instantly brighten, smooth, and tighten the skin with no downtime.

Consistency is key. Professional treatments combined with the right at home skincare will give you your best skin, not just for the holidays, but beyond.
