Need Instant Glow? Here’s How Fashion Week Pros Do It

Fashion Week models may look fresh, dewy, and perfectly lit-from-within, but let’s be honest—behind the scenes, their skin is battling late nights, long flights, and layers of heavy makeup.

So how do they step onto the runway looking like they’ve just spent a week at a wellness retreat?

Skincare pros have perfected the art of fast glow-ups, and their tricks are surprisingly easy to steal.

• Start with a proper cleanse – Makeup, dirt, and dead skin dull your glow, so a gentle exfoliating cleanser is a must. The trick is removing buildup without stripping moisture.

• Depuff like a pro – Under-eye bags aren’t runway material. A cooling eye gel and a quick lymphatic massage help boost circulation and tighten tired skin in minutes.

• Cold works wonders – Cryo globes (or even ice cubes wrapped in a cloth) instantly firm, lift, and wake up dull skin. Glide them over your face in upward motions for an instant refresh.

• A hydrating mask fixes everything – Models swear by collagen-packed sheet masks for a quick hit of moisture and radiance. Instead of rinsing off the excess, massage it in—every last drop.

• Lock in hydration – A few spritzes of an essence or mist seal in moisture, make skin look plumper, and keep your glow lasting all day.
