A memorable runway moment always starts with radiant skin. And as the official skincare partner of Milan Fashion Week (for the second season in a row!), Sunday Riley will be offering a unique backstage skincare experience for models to select fashion brands on the MFW calendar. And if you’re aiming to achieve that runway-ready skin at home with your favorite Sunday Riley products, you’re in luck. Here’s an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at how the brand prepped and primed models’ skin for their time on the catwalk, along with two treat-yourself facials you can emulate from home.

Offered directly by the brand’s facialists, this 5-7 minute service takes place before the models’ hair and makeup applications at the Marni, Genny, Alexandra Moura, Tokyo James, Joy Meribe, Marco Rambaldi, and Fab Five shows. This quick skincare prep (perfect for all skin types) begins with a deeply purifying and hydrating cleanse with Ceramic Slip and Blue Moon, followed by Pink Drink, a peptide-infused treatment to resurface, balance, and firm the look of skin. The session concludes with Good Genes: an all-in-one brightening treatment mask that gently and rapidly removes dull-looking dead skin and plumps the look of fine lines and wrinkles to provide a natural-looking glow.

The Sunday Riley MFW Facial Treatments
Those that are seeking more one-on-one time with the Sunday Riley facialists are offered two signature treatments: Glow Like A CEO and The Morning After. These two treatments take place at the Palazzo Parigi, with celebrities Lucien Laviscount, Josephine Skriver, Taylor Hill, Paloma Elsesser, Valentina Ferragni, Iris Law all securing a coveted spot on the facialist appointment book.
Glow Like A CEO
This treatment focuses on recharging the skin’s radiance for an envy-inducing glow with cutting-edge vitamin C (THD). Targeted to quickly fight the look of dullness, dark spots, and discolorations at the source while diminishing the signs of aging, this treatment kicks off with a brightening and deeply nourishing cleanse with Ceramic Slip and Blue Moon.
After the skin is clean, Good Genes is applied as an exfoliating and restorative mask to help resurface dull-looking skin. Then, a lymphatic facial massage stimulates circulation while depuffing the skin.
The session continues with lifting and tightening CRYO therapy session to fight the signs of sensitivity, before a deeply hydrating and restorative glow-giving mask of C.E.O. Glow Vitamin C and Turmeric Face Oil and C.E.O. Serum 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum. Finally, Auto Correct Brightening and Depuffing Eye Contour Cream is applied to depuff and invigorate the eye area, leaving skin looking plumper and brighter with a natural-looking glow.

The Morning After
This treatment is the perfect hydrating facial for those with dehydrated skin or those looking to restore the skin’s natural moisture barrier, depuff skin, or just a quick fix from last night’s celebrations. The Morning After begins with a deeply nourishing cleanse with Ceramic Slip and Blue Moon.
After the skin is clean, Good Genes is applied as a plumping and restorative mask to visibly reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Then, a lymphatic facial massage stimulates circulation while depuffing the skin.
Skin is then treated to a CRYO session to reduce the look of inflammation and reduce the appearance of surface redness. Then, the facialist applies ICE, a ceramide-rich moisturizing treatment to help restore and repair the moisture barrier. The session concludes with Auto Correct Brightening and Depuffing Eye Contour Cream to reduce the appearance of puffiness and awaken tired-looking eyes. Skin is left looking tight, lifted, and ready for the day ahead.
