My Red-Carpet ritual: Winter edition

By , Founder of Harley Street Injectables

Winter has its own rhythm - colder air, central heating, long clinic days and late events, and the red-carpet calendar always seems to gather at the same time. It’s the point in the year when I’m going from full days in clinic to evenings out, and the doesn’t give much room to hide.

For me, red-carpet prep is all about intentional, treatments that make the skin look fresh, lifted, and luminous, the kind of you can’t fake under flash.

This is the ritual I return to every time.

A few weeks out, I like to create a soft foundation of - nothing dramatic, just a gentle tightening that restores the winter tends to blur.

This is when I book .

It’s one of my favourite pre-event treatments it gives that subtle, tightness along the jawline and cheeks - the kind that reads beautifully under but never looks "done." London winter can leave the skin feeling a little lax or puffy, and HIFU brings everything back into focus. It creates that held, lifted that makes every angle look .

If my under-eyes are hinting at how long the week has been, and winter lighting loves to this, I’ll add a touch of in this window.

They’ve been talked about endlessly this year, often thanks to the "salmon DNA" nickname, but behind the headlines, they’re simply brilliant for this area: a little collagen support, a little elasticity, a little more so makeup doesn’t cling. It creates a kind of refreshed brightness that shows up in photographs.

This is when the resurfacing steps in and the skin begins to look more polished.

is my go-to at the mark. It leaves my skin refined and polished without irritation, smoother pores, better texture, and that clean, even surface makeup loves.

I often pair it with in the same week. Genesis everything: it softens redness, smooths uneven tone, and gives the skin that soft-focus radiance that looks incredible on camera. It’s like the complexion of good lighting.

Together, Fire & Ice and Genesis create that "editorial skin" finish, smooth, calm, and luminous.

Winter can make the skin look flat, and this brings it back to life a single minute of time. This is when I reach Botox for Upper Face the It leaves the glossy, plump, and perfectly balanced, the kind of that makes makeup glide and light catch in all the right places!

It gives that final, refined sheen that reads well under lights.

This ritual works it’s layered, thoughtful, and timed to perfection: sculpting first, regeneration next, refinement in the middle, and glow at the end.
