Vogue Adria reverse-engineered the Cannes red-carpet protocol into a pre-wedding plan, and gave Melanie Grant the article's core skincare section on renewal and intensive hydration. Her four pillars are set out as ceramides for barrier strength, squalane to nourish without heaviness, niacinamide to even tone and peptides to stimulate collagen, illustrated with Eighth Day's Regenerative Serum. She also recommends Biologique Recherche Silk Plus serum in the morning for its light-reflecting silk proteins.
"The focus the day before is always the same: hydration, renewal and calming the skin," she tells Vogue Adria.
