We’ve been inspired by the glamour of the Red Carpet in recent weeks. Here are our top tips and tricks to help look your best, whatever the occasion…

To get our Skin looking Red Carpet Ready we visit Dr Rita Rakus at her esteemed Knightsbridge clinic for a Hydrafacial. Loved by Kate Winslet, Beyoncé, Eva Mendes and Matthew McConaughey (to name a few), this 50 minute treat combines gentle but deep exfoliation with hydrating and antioxidant-rich serums that provide a glow with no down time. The results are immediate giving us perfect radiant skin which lasts up to seven days. (Hydrafacial starts at £175.00 from the Dr Rita Rakus clinic www.drritarakus.com)

Events always mean pictures, and nothing can be more unflattering than an oily complexion under all those harsh, paparazzi lights. To prepare our skin we use Dermaceutic’s Mask 15 which contains glycolic acid, bentonite clay and salicylic acid to help rejuvenate our skin and absorb excess oil. Alongside using it twice a week throughout the year, we use the treatment for 2-4 minutes before applying our makeup the morning of an event to help keep shine at bay, purify the skin and minimise pores. An absolute skin saviour! (£34.75 at http://www.uniqueskin.co.uk/)

Whether you want the perfect wob as seen on Kim Kardashian or want added volume for the ultimate blowdry (with a little helping hand from some exceptional extensions), Lockonego is our go to salon. Situated in the heart of Chelsea and founded by celebrity Hair stylists Ben Cooke and Jonathan Long, Lockonego has a team of experts who can transform your hair from flat to fabulous.

From Paul, the king of colour to Raymond, (who everyone ACTUALLY loves), the one-stop salon will have your hair looking red Carpet ready in no time. (A blow-dry starts at just £25, www.lockonego.com)

We all love wearing heels (the ultimate finishing touch to any outfit) but wearing them regulary throws our body-weight forward which leads to us compensating by pushing our hips back. This increases the pressure on our knees, back and feet and can lead to aches and pains, especially after a long night out. Strive footwear can help combat these aches and pains by realigning and supporting the foot. They are the perfect shoes to throw in your bag or run about town in, especially if you haven’t had time to let your Soigné pedicure dry! We love the orange of Strive’s Capri style sandals in Tigerlilly, they brighten up any outfit keeping us stylish and ache free. (From £55 available soon at www.strivefootwear.com)

Researching treatments can be time consuming and confusing. The Lovely Clinic is a new blog by aesthetic practitioner Dr Sarah Tonks which breaks down everything you need to know about cosmetic procedures, supplements and your overall wellness. We read it over breakfast in the morning to make sure we know what’s hot! Best bit about it? If she hasn’t already covered the topic you are interested in, you can email her and she will do everything she can to answer your questions. It’s like having a personal clinician 24/7!
