PORTER gave Melanie Grant co-equal billing with Joanna Czech, Shani Darden and Keren Bartov in its red-carpet preparation guide, naming her in the article's standfirst. Her section argues the evening routine is the decisive one: in the weeks before an event she switches clients to something gentle and hydrating rather than active — daily peel pads for light exfoliation, a night serum, a sleep mask and consistent daily LED. She also prescribes a fine scrub or exfoliating lotion, a cream or clay mask (she is explicit about disliking sheet masks), manual, roller or gua sha massage, and a good face oil.
A second section covers her body protocol: dry brushing begun 30 days out, body peels, and daily body oil.
"It's nothing too active or intensive, but focuses on hydrating and nourishing with very gentle exfoliation," she tells PORTER.
