Spring in Melbourne means brighter days, festive events, and the return of the much-loved Racing Carnival. As celebrations begin, it’s also the perfect reminder to refresh your skin — ensuring it feels calm, luminous, and ready for every occasion.

At Kim Pinnuck Aesthetics, Nurse Kim believes that glowing skin isn’t just about last-minute treatments. It’s about preparation, balance, and supporting your skin’s natural rhythm throughout the season.

🌸 Why Skin Preparation Matters Before Events

Whether it’s Derby Day, Oaks Day, or Cup Day, event season often brings extra makeup, longer days, and exposure to the sun. A strong skincare foundation helps your skin stay clear, hydrated, and calm — even after a full day outdoors.

Here’s what happens when you prepare your skin properly:

• Improved makeup application — smoother texture means an even finish.
  

• Balanced hydration — helps prevent patchiness or makeup settling into fine lines.
  

• Reduced post-event sensitivity — protecting your barrier minimises redness and dryness.
  
  

✨ Building a Race-Ready Routine

A glowing complexion starts weeks before your event — not the night before. Consistency, gentle care, and high-quality ingredients go a long way.

Here are Nurse Kim’s simple steps for a race-ready routine:

1. Gentle exfoliation
Keep your complexion fresh by removing dull surface cells 1–2 times per week. Avoid harsh scrubs — look for enzyme-based formulas that refine without irritation.

2. Hydrating masks
Support your skin’s barrier with hydrating or soothing masks in the days leading up to your event. This helps plump the skin and ensures your base looks naturally radiant.

3. Professional treatment boost
For those wanting an extra glow, in-clinic treatments such as LED therapy or gentle rejuvenating facials can enhance your skin’s clarity and tone in a short time frame.

4. Don’t skip SPF
Outdoor events mean extra UV exposure. Daily sunscreen is the simplest and most effective way to protect against pigmentation and premature ageing.

🌼 The Secret to a Healthy Post-Event Glow

After the festivities, give your skin time to recover. Gentle cleansing, barrier-restoring serums, and adequate hydration will help maintain your glow well into the season.

Nurse Kim often reminds clients that radiant skin is built through consistency — not just a single treatment. Supporting your skin daily helps it stay calm, bright, and balanced year-round.

💛 Embrace the Season with Confidence

Spring is all about renewal — and your skin deserves to reflect that fresh start. Whether you’re attending a special event or simply want to feel more confident, healthy skin begins with understanding and care.

At Kim Pinnuck Aesthetics, each treatment and recommendation is guided by clinical expertise and a commitment to safety — helping you achieve results that feel as beautiful as they look.
