SKIN SARAH CHAPMAN, FACIALIST
CELEBRITY CLIENTS: ANNE HATHAWAY, EMILY BLUNT, THE DUCHESS OF SUSSEX
"I often see people for a one-off treatment before an event, so the goal is to maximise glow. My focus would be a really deep cleanse, hydration, massage and skin tightening using micro-needling, stem cells and peptides, along with lots of hyaluronic acid and refined oils. Our Iconic Facial is hugely popular with our A-list clientele before red-carpet events.
"In the week leading up to an event, I advise clients not to drink alcohol - it's very dehydrating. I also say to minimise spicy, salty, processed food and dairy in the three days beforehand, as these can increase skin inflammation.
"A face mask is my pre-event secret weapon. I give my 3D Moisture Infusion Mask to my clients, which is intensely hydrating and anti-inflammatory. If a blemish pops up at the last minute, my SOS Spot Stickers are infused with salicylic acid to unclog the pore - they really do knock back swelling quickly.
"It's an old trick, but to instantly reduce puffiness and give skin a healthy glow, wrap some ice cubes in a cloth and press over your face. Also try natural yoghurt: it's packed with lactic acid, making it a brilliant at-home face mask. Gently rub it off, rather than wash it, to really exfoliate and brighten the skin."
HAIR SAM MCKNIGHT, HAIRDRESSER
CELEBRITY CLIENTS: CATE BLANCHETT, LADY GAGA, DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES
"My first ever Oscars was doing Christie Brinkley in 1984. I gave her the biggest hair ever - well, it was the 80s after all! Lady Gaga at the 2010 MTV VMAs was another standout moment. We pinned a choice cut of meat to the wig and off she went.
