Whether it’s a wedding, photoshoot, interview, or other special occasion, everyone wants glowing, flawless skin. A professional facial cleansing is a great way to achieve a fresh and even complexion. But is it a good idea to schedule one just before your big day? At MONLIS Studio in Munich, we specialize in advanced skincare and share expert advice on the best timing, benefits, and alternatives to facial cleansing before an important event.

1. Why facial cleansing is beneficial in general

Professional facial cleansing helps remove deep-seated impurities, excess oil, dead skin cells, and blackheads. The advantages include:

• Smoother, cleaner skin

• Fewer clogged pores and breakouts

• Refreshed, brighter complexion

• Improved absorption of skincare products

• Perfect base for makeup

However, every skin reacts differently. Some clients experience immediate glow and smoothness, while others—especially those with sensitive or acne-prone skin—may have temporary redness, peeling, or slight irritation afterward.

2. When is the best time before an important occasion?

At MONLIS Studio, we recommend scheduling a deep cleansing treatment at least 5 to 7 days before your event, especially if you have sensitive, oily, or breakout-prone skin. This gives your skin time to recover, calm down, and fully regenerate.

If you have very sensitive skin or have never had a facial cleansing before, plan the appointment at least 10 days in advance to avoid unexpected reactions.

3. What happens if you cleanse your face too close to the event?

If the treatment is done just 1–2 days before the occasion, the following issues may occur:

• Redness or irritation

• Dry or flaky patches

• Micro-injuries from manual extractions

• Uneven makeup application

• Tightness or sensitivity

Especially after manual cleansing or deep exfoliation, the skin may need a few days to heal properly.

4. What are the safe alternatives if the event is very soon?

If your big day is just around the corner, MONLIS Studio offers gentle treatments that give you a healthy glow without the risk of irritation:

• Glow facial – intense hydration and immediate radiance without downtime

• Enzyme or light fruit acid peels – gentle exfoliation for smoother skin

• Soothing masks & lymphatic massage – reduce puffiness and boost skin tone

These options are ideal for clients needing a fresh, camera-ready look without redness or sensitivity.

5. MONLIS Studio tips for skin prep before important events

To ensure your skin looks its best, follow these expert tips:

• Have regular cleanings every 4–6 weeks to maintain balance and clarity

• Leave at least one week between cleansing and your event

• Stick to familiar skincare products and avoid trying anything new just before the day

• Drink plenty of water and sleep well in the days leading up

• Avoid aggressive peels or DIY treatments close to the date

A professional facial cleansing is a great way to improve skin health and appearance – but timing is everything. Done too close to a big event, it could do more harm than good. At MONLIS Studio in Munich, we help you choose the perfect treatment for your skin and schedule it at the right moment for flawless, glowing results.
