Prom is one special night of your life where you want to look your best, here we provide you with all the information you need to look drop dead gorgeous on the night, to make it a night you'll never forget.

Fitness - To tone up your body you should start doing some kind of fitness or exercises up to 3 months in advance. Even a simple regime of some step aerobics, yoga, and swimming,each one once a week for example will do wonders for your body and health. To look your best, step up the exercise the closer you get to prom, the 1-6 weeks before being the most crucial.

Skin care - If you want glowing radiant skin for prom, you will need to treat it carefully beforehand. About a week before, go to a salon, or buy from a beauty salon some exfoliating cream, and a loofah. Give yourself a full body scrub down to remove all dead skin and rejuvenate it. Afterwards treat your skin with a rich moisturizing treatment to ensure it is not dehydrated, and will look it's best. Keep moisturizing your skin after each shower until prom day.

Tan - Not essential, especially if you have been out in the sun recently. But, if you have been unlucky with the weather, or are a bit far North to get your skin out under the sun then there are two alternatives to getting yourself a nice tan on Prom night. You can go to a tanning salon and use their sunbeds. But to give this time to take effect, you need to book an appointment for at least two weeks before prom for your tan session. This also gives you time to go back should you need a top up. The other option is simply to buy fake tan lotion to wear on the night. If you have never used this before, you want to be very careful not to overdo it and to make sure it is evenly spread. It is a good idea a week before prom to do a trial, and apply a thin layer on your arms, face, neck and legs to make sure you get the desired effect.

Wax - Stop shaving two weeks before prom, to give your hair enough time to grow. Then, especially if you have never had it done before, go to a salon to get a leg and bikini wax. Don't forget to moisturize your skin afterwards, and to shave your armpits when you shower before prom night.

Nails - To ensure sparkling nails for prom, don't forget to book yourself an appointment for a manicure, a few days before prom. Then, if using nail varnish, pick a shade that will go with your outfit, and doesn't stand out too much. Natural skin tones are best, so a peach, or a light pink for example.

Face, and eyebrows - A couple of days before prom treat your face,by giving it a gentle scrub with a facial exfoliator and pore cleanser, then treat it kindly with a full face mask which you keep on for a few hours to thoroughly cleanse out your pores, and moisturize. After this, take some tweezers and pluck your eyebrows to ensure there are no loose hairs. Start at the bottom of the eyebrow, and pluck away evenly all the way along. Never pluck from the top. This is the natural shape of your eyebrow which you want to preserve. Be careful not to get too carried away and pluck too thin.

Hair - See our section about Outfits for more information on hair-do's. However, to get your hair looking just perfect for prom, no matter what your choice of hair-do is: Treat it with a nourishing conditioner a few days before prom, and give it a good brushing to ensure it is healthy, nourished, and there aren't too many loose hairs. Do not wash your hair on the day of prom, it is always easier to style hair, especially up-do's if it is not freshly washed. Wash the night before.
