SLEEP BETTER

It's easier said than done, but a few good nights' sleep in the week leading up to an event can go a long way to get you party-ready. "When you're not sleeping enough, that's when you'll get more redness and inflammation and start to get dry patches," says Jennifer Brodeur, the founder of Montreal-based skincare brand JB Skin Sävvi and a facialist who counts Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama among her clients.
