Getting Ready For The Prom
You are busy texting your friends about gowns, makeup and hair because in a few hours it will be prom While thinking of these things, you might be forgetting the rest of you. Read on to learn about how to pamper yourself on prom day.
Food for Thought
Although this is one of the last things you think about, you have to eat regular meals on prom day. Don’t worry, you will still fit into your dress at night. Eating will keep your sugar balance intact so you don’t get nauseated, weak or worse.
Your Other Parts
Pampering the outside of your body should be easier, now that you’re done doing it from the inside.
Soft and smooth skin is important, so right after your shower, use a scented body lotion. A drugstore brand should do. Most are lightly scented, they smell great, and will make your skin glow. Don’t ignore your elbows. Since we don’t see them, it’s easy to forget how dry they can become.
Easy does it
It’s fun to douse yourself with an eau de designer perfume. That’s part of the fun of dressing up, after all. Over do it and you may be headed for a dating disaster. We don’t even realize it but a lot of perfumes are very potent, so a little can go a long way. Plus, if your date is allergic or even slightly sensitive, you don’t want him sneezing on your shoulder all night long. The scent of the body lotion would be so much better than the perfume.
Taking Care of Zit-ness
If all of the stress of preparing for prom night comes to a head on your face and turn into zitgirl – don’t panic and don’t squeeze it.
A good way to start is by washing your face with soap and water. Scrubbing,is a no no. A clean towel should be used to pat it gently, leaving it slightly damp. On your face, a very light, oil-free moisturizer should be applied.
Dig out your cover stick or foundation from your make up kit while your skin dries. With the tip of your finger, dot a bit of concealer around and over the spot, blending into the surrounding clear skin. If your cover stick is a very dry formula, mix it with a bit of moisturizer. Pat your face with powder puff, now that you’ve hidden all the unwanted spots. Over loading the puff with powder is not a good idea. Keep it very light or your skin will look like it’s been dusted with powdered sugar. Now that you’ve pampered yourself, time put on some makeup, zip up that dress, and off to the prom.
