The Brides guide to Beauty on the Big Day!

Jul 15

Another friend of mine has just put her wedding “on hold” thanks to Covid 19. She is most certainly not alone if the photos popping up on my Facebook feed are anything to go by, have you seen them too?

Wedding season may be temporarily ON HOLD at the moment but this gives you even more time to ensure you have the most perfect bridal skin come your special day. No one needs Covid Wrinkles tagging along!

We all know at least one Bride, Bride to Be or you may be a Bride yourself. Brides are so busy planning the details of the venue, the flowers, the dinner, the cake and THE DRESS that they sometimes forget to give that special attention to the most important part of their wedding day……SKIN! After all, what good are flowers, delicious cake and gorgeous dresses if the skin isn’t glowing and radiant on the big day? Whether you’re a year away from walking down the aisle or just one week, here are a few tips to help get your skin glowing, healthy & beautiful.

Plan Ahead & Begin a Routine

Planning a wedding takes time, right? It takes time and a lot of effort. Remember to add a skincare regimen into your planning and you’ll be right on track for glowing skin on your wedding day. For optimal skin health and radiance on your day, begin a skincare regimen at least 6 months prior to your special day. Your first port of call is to book a Skin Consultation & we can talk you through your skins needs & discuss your ultimate goals to put a plan in place to help you achieve it.

Exfoliate

No matter what your skincare routine, its important for all skin types to exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate! We will help you choose a product that’s right for you. When you remove dead skin, blackheads & impurities from your face & body, your skin will be left glowing and ready for flawless wedding photos. For the ultimate dewy complexion, we recommend IMAGE skincare I Peels. A course of 6 peels can completely transform the skin, which you’ll thanks yourself for later considering those wedding photos are forever!!

Don’t Stress

Stress can have a negative effect on the health of your skin, so make sure you take a few minutes each day to breathe. It’s easy to get overwhelmed while planning a wedding – so many decisions to be made and last-minute problems to be solved. It’s the perfect recipe for stress! Try taking a yoga class once a week or designating a few hours each day where you focus on you rather that you wedding plans. Take some time for you, and trust us, your skin will thank you.

Get Your Beauty Sleep

The night before your wedding, skip the alcoholic beverages and opt for water with lemon. Go to bed early ad get your beauty sleep. Sleep is crucial for glowing healthy skin.

Bring an “Emergency Kit”.

Don’t forget to pack a bag with all the necessities for last minute fixes and touch ups. Make sure you include: dental floss, hair pins, mini deodorant, extra earing backs, tissue, lipstick, translucent powder, safety pins, mints and water.

MOST IMPORTANTLY DON’T FORGET TO SMILE!

No matter what happens on your big day, you are starting the journey of a lifetime with your best friend. Relax, let things go, and enjoy happily ever after.
