Glow Tip: Late-night screenings can leave your skin feeling tired and dehydrated. After a long evening outdoors, cleanse gently, apply a hydrating toner, and use a cool compress under the eyes to refresh and reset before bed.

Broadway in Bryant Park (Thu @12 :30 PM)

Glow Tip: Midday performances = peak sun exposure. Keep your glow protected by layering a tinted SPF with antioxidants—think of it as makeup with benefits. Reapply with a mineral SPF brush for a no-mess refresh between acts. Bonus: it keeps shine at bay while you stay front row fabulous.
