Many people might think that getting red carpet-ready skin has to be a long, drawn-out process, but with a few minor tweaks, you could potentially have a healthier glow in five days!

Candice Kumai, a New York Times best-selling author and beauty-food expert is here to show us how it's done.

In the video above, the former model turned chef gave us her five-day plan to get amazing skin—not only for awards show nights, but for any of life's big moments. The food guru touched on one major theme: Beauty is an inside job. She reminded us of the importance of taking care of our body's largest organ, the skin, through making "small changes that equate to a big difference."

Candice begins with the two most important components in helping skin stay hydrated—plenty of water and a good moisturizer. Water is great for hydrating skin from the inside, while a cream like Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream can help to keep moisture locked in with added anti-aging benefits.

From there she gives us two nutrient-packed recipes that are essential to helping skin stay healthy and glowing. From a beauty bowl made up of five skin-loving ingredients, to a kale-based green juice, these recipes can be a delicious way to help prep the skin for any event.
