Date Night! Many couples keep this on their calendars to keep romance alive. Whether its weekly, every fortnight or even once a month, we should not take date night for granted. It’s one of the best reasons to dress up, look your best and also feel your best. Here are few tips to help you create your own pre-date night ritual to make the night very special.
PLAN AHEAD
Taking the time to plan ahead will alleviate last-minute stress and make you feel super organized as you get ready. Best practices to consider adding to your pre-date night ritual include:
Drink More Water: Staying hydrated helps maintain both your energy levels and mood, so that you can feel your best.
Eat Clean: Trying to eat clean the day before so that you will feel less bloated, more energized and overall healthier.
Get Enough Sleep: Hitting the hay early the night before is a must-do. Getting enough sleep will help prevent dull and dehydrated skin, dark circles and a fuzzy brain — it’s something you will thank yourself later for!
Pick Your Look Ahead of Time: You should not be running around or rummaging through your closet on date night. It’s stressful! So plan ahead an pull your final look together in advance.
THE DAY OF
The things you decide to do or the items that you use on date night can really set the tone for how much you enjoy the night — so be selective! Recommended must-haves:
Me-Time: Incorporating me-time when you wake up in the morning is a must. A 20-minute yoga or meditation session will help you feel centered and refreshed and provide you with a clear mind to take on the rest of your day.
Choose Makeup Fueled by Skincare: Using makeup with added skincare benefits can go a long way when it comes to looking good this holiday season, and for your overall skin health. The new Neutrogena Healthy Skin Radiant Cream Concealer is the flawless fix to your skin’s imperfections!
This lightweight, skin-perfecting concealer covers dark circles, acne and blemishes and blurs the look of fine lines for a smooth, creaseless finish. Use it as you get ready or throw it in your clutch and take it along for a mid-date touch-up!
The Perfect Ensemble: Dressing for date night is always fun because this is the time that you dress up for your significant other. From a sexy attire to a classic LBD paired with favorite festive jewelry, to a standout red dress with fun heels — pick out an outfit that expresses your personality or your mood.
RIGHT BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT
As you head out for the night, make sure you’re ready with the necessities and for emergencies. Pack mints or gum, pain meds, bandages and remember to bring a phone charger. Make sure you’ve packed your concealer and all necessary beauty products for quick touch-ups.
Creating your own pre-date night ritual puts romance front and center for you and your significant other even before the actual date starts.
