How to prep your skin for your wedding day
Preparing your skin for your wedding day is all about planning ahead, maintaining consistency, and understanding your skin's needs. I always say the better you take care of your skin, the better your makeup application will be!
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you glow on your big day:
6–12 months before your wedding
1. Schedule an Esthetician appointment to figure out your skin type
Schedule a skin consultation to assess your skin type and concerns.
Begin treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, or laser if needed—these require downtime and should be done well in advance.
2. Start a consistent skin care routine if you haven’t start yet!
Cleanser: Gentle, non-stripping.
Moisturizer: Hydrating, based on your skin type.
SPF: Daily use, minimum SPF 30.
Exfoliation: 1–2x per week (chemical exfoliants are preferred for a smoother look).
3–6 Months Before
3. Regular facials
Monthly facials can help with deep cleansing, hydration, and glow.
Don’t try a new facial close to the wedding—stick to what your skin knows.
1–2 Months Before
4. Hydrate inside and out
Drink plenty of water.
Incorporate hydrating products (hyaluronic acid, glycerin).
Consider a hydrating facial or sheet masks.
5. Avoid Harsh Products
No new treatments or active ingredients.
Skip any aggressive exfoliation or peels.
1–2 Weeks Before
6. Brow grooming & waxing
Wax/thread at least 5–7 days before to let any redness go down.
7. Final Facial
Gentle and hydrating, not exfoliating or invasive.
The Day Before
8. Prep & Calm
Use a gentle exfoliator or brightening mask.
Apply a hydrating sheet mask the night before.
Get a good night’s sleep.
✅ Bonus Tip: Use blotting papers—not powder—to control shine during the day.
