You can have Radiant skin on your Wedding Day!

Preparing your skin for your Wedding day should be at the top of your list. You will be so happy that you went the extra step in preparing your skin. Whether you will be doing your own make up or will be having a professional, preparing your skin will make all the difference.

Here are a few helpful tips:

Do’s and Don’ts Do’s

1. Meet with a professional Skin Care Expert at least “6mos.” Prior to the wedding, if you can. Get a Skin Analysis so that together you can determine your needs. Do you know what your skin type is? Having the “right” skin care program is very important and a consultation is usually free. Getting helpful skin care tips and preparing your skin is essential for healthy glowing skin on your wedding day and your pictures will be even more beautiful.

2. Start your Skin Care Program. Even in a minimal way you need a good At-Home skin care regiment. Having the right cleanser is a must. At this point your Esthetician can map at a program that will keep you on tract to have Radiant skin on your wedding day. Remember this… Cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate & protect.

3. Waxing…This is another reason why you want to meet a Skin Care expert ahead of time so that you and the Esthetician can work together on your “Eye Brow Design” and the Esthetician gets to know your skin and what type of wax will work for your skin. Some skin types are so sensitive that they are red for hours and if you wax the face or lip area you are taking a chance if you have not prepared your skin properly.

4. Now that you have taken these essential steps to having Radiant Skin you need to start thinking about your make up for that special day. Professional Bridal makeup is different then your everyday make up. So meet with your Esthetician to start your Makeup Consultation and do a trial run.

Rule of thumb on a budget… When considering your Skin Care Regiment and all the thing you might need, start with the cleanser first if you can’t get all items just start adding as you go, one item a month, don’t overwhelm yourself.

Follow these helpful tips and the week of your wedding will be all about getting pampered and enjoying the whole experience stress free!

Here are a few reminders of what not to do if at all possible.

Don’t’s

1 . Don’t use Soap to cleanse your Face. Don’t wait until the week of the Wedding to think about your skin regarding Blemishes, Waxing and Make Up.

2. Don’t over hydrate to confine sate for under cleansing. Not having the right cleansing program can make you feel like you have a mask feeling on your skin. So we tend to think we are dry when in fact you just need to cleanse and “exfoliate” properly.

3. Waxing the day before the Wedding especially if you have not been waxing is a Big No No. You could experience unwanted results.

4. If you have never gotten a facial now isn’t the time to get one the day before your wedding. If it is within 5 days you should be safe. Make sure you let the Esthetician know about whether you use Retin A. Check all your moisturizers, foundations and cleansers for products that might have exfoliating properties as these may cause unwanted peeling, which will leave your skin flaky the day your make up goes on.

5. Don’t leave home without your sun screen! SPF 15 in the Winter is fine unless you are going to the slopes you will need a SPF 30 !!

Congratulations on your Wedding and enjoy your day! Have fun the week of the

Wedding getting ready. Have a Spa day with your Brides Maids and or your

future Spouse. Preparing ahead of time will allow for a “Stress Free” day.
