Paris Fashion Week: Backstage Skin Protocol for Glowing Skin

At Paris Fashion Week, flawless skin is just as important as the fashion itself. Behind the scenes at the Isabel Marant Ready-to-Wear show, our iS Clinical partners worked backstage to prepare models' skin for the runway.

Achieving this luminous look requires a carefully curated skincare routine designed to cleanse, calm, hydrate and protect the skin — all while keeping it lightweight and runway-ready.

Here's the backstage skin protocol used to create that coveted glow.

Step 1: Cream Cleanser
A mild, nourishing cleanser with Coconut Oil, Glycerin and Squalane that gently removes makeup and impurities while keeping skin soft and balanced. It can also be used without water, making it ideal for quick backstage cleansing.

Step 2: Copper Firming Mist
A lightweight hydrating mist packed with Antioxidants and Copper PCA to refresh, revitalise and prepare the skin for treatment.

Step 3: Pro-Heal Serum® ADVANCE+®
A gentle Vitamin C serum with multi-antioxidant support that helps calm redness, soothe skin and protect against environmental stress.

Step 4: Hydra-Cool Serum®
A lightweight Hyaluronic Acid serum that delivers an instant boost of hydration for a smooth, plump, glass-skin glow.

Step 5: Daily Dynamic Hydrator
A 3-in-1 moisturiser that provides lasting hydration, helps address visible signs of ageing and protects against daily environmental stressors.

Backstage at fashion week, skincare needs to be effective, fast and results-driven. This simple yet powerful protocol ensures that every model's complexion looks fresh, hydrated and luminous under the spotlight.

The result is that coveted effortless glow — the kind that complements the fashion without competing with it. Because when skin looks this healthy, it becomes the perfect canvas for everything that follows.
