We all know that everyone gets super anxious about their skin just before a wedding. For a woman, her bridal day is like a dream come true, and she wants everything perfect for her big day. So, of course, deciding the dress, makeup, or hairdo you will try on your special day is exciting.  But amidst everything to organise before your big day, don’t forget to think about your skin. If you want to look your absolute best and walk down the aisle with your head held high, we are here with a guide to help you attain beautiful and radiant skin.

Start an ASAP Skincare Routine

Following an effective skincare routine before the wedding is essential. Just skincare alone can go a very long way in restoring radiance, glow and a healthy look to your skin. There are many different brands out there, and a highly popular product for soon-to-be brides is the brand ASAP. It is an Australian cosmeceutical skincare range that provides the highest quality, simple, effective, and affordable products. The key ingredients of ASAP products are AHAs, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and potent antioxidants. Over a few weeks, good skincare will become visibly more radiant, fresher and healthier.

Add AHAs or BHAs to Your Daily Skincare Routine

Alpha hydroxy acids and beta hydroxy acids rebuild the collagen in the skin and are capable of providing outstanding results when it comes to hyperpigmentation, acne, dullness, and texture issues. You may find them in various strengths and cosmetic formulas, including cleansers, toners, serums, and exfoliating pads. Start with low to medium-strength products. Then, if you experience any irritation, redness, or flaking, stop using the product and find a gentler product. 4-6 months before the wedding is an ideal time to experiment with an acid product and asses how your skin responds to it. Get a qualified health professional or beautician who can help you choose the suitable acid according to your skin type and needs.

Try Hydrating Serums

The hydrating serums or masks keep the skin moisturized and healthy. Avoid any kind of extraction close to your wedding because it can irritate your skin. Instead, use plenty of hydrating ingredients to reduce puffiness, dryness, and dullness. Hyaluronic acid is one of the fantastic skin moisturizing components. It ensures to leave your skin beautiful and glowing.

In addition, stop using the exfoliators and retinoids one week before your wedding to avoid flakiness, dry patches, and irritation. Instead, your only focus should be on using hydrating serums, toners, and essence to soothe and quench the skin.

4-6 Months Before the Wedding

Try Out Microneedling

Microneedling is a wonderful way to boost the skin and regain the youthful glow. In addition, it helps to repair acne scars, fade wrinkles, and promotes collagen production. The mini needles create tiny wounds to stimulate the healing factors in the skin. For best results, we recommend trying the micro-needling 4-6 months before the wedding and getting at least three sessions before the due date. It will make your skin shine and will continue to boost the appearance of your skin.

IPL Facial

IPL facial is a perfect solution to gain a youthful appearance. It involves using intense pulse light of specific wavelengths to address numerous skin concerns. In addition, the treatment does not require anaesthesia or any recovery time.

IPL facial is highly beneficial in removing dark spots, freckles, spider veins, enlarged pores, and uneven tone and texture. Dr Nadja recommends brides-to-be get three IPL facials before their wedding, especially if redness or uneven pigmentation is a concern for you. This should ideally be done over a period of 3 to 5 months.

Add A Natural Peel

Chemical peels dramatically rejuvenate the skin. It is a simple, non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves applying natural fruit acids to the top layer of the skin. It safely peels away the damaged layers of skin and reveals a fresher and even-toned complexion. Chemical peels are available in various strengths. It is important that a health professional or qualified beautician assesses your skin condition and recommends the most suitable peel for your skin concern.

One Month Prior to the Wedding

Get Your Final Microneedling Session

Everyone has a unique skin type. Generally, your final micro-needling session should be done one month before the wedding. That way, your skin will be settled and get a little time to heal and visibly improve the appearance of your skin before your big day.

I am in a rush, help me get camera-ready

If you are running out of time and only have 2 or 3 weeks left, try a micro-injectable facial. It is actually the mesotherapy facial that contains a unique mix of skin boosters and tiny droplets of Botulinum Toxin. It makes your skin look delicate, poreless and lifted. In addition, it restores radiance and a natural glow to the skin. The big advantage is that it only takes 2 or 3 weeks to see a big improvement in your skin. The effect of the facial will last 3 to 4 months

Try Injectable Procedures

If you would like to look absolutely perfect on your big day, you may think about facial injectables.

Facial Injectables are great for enhancing your facial features and hiding skin imperfections. It is best to do this 6 to 8 weeks before your wedding. Make sure you choose a board-certified injectable expert to discuss what you need to achieve the best results. Dr Nadja Haub at Satini Cosmetic Clinic can assess your face, help you choose the right procedure, and provide advice on downtime and cost. Please contact us anytime to book a free initial consultation.

Vampire Facial

The vampire facial provides you with fantastic results and younger-looking skin. It is especially popular for people who want more radiant, glowing skin with a bit of a lift but who are not ready for dermal fillers as yet.

This popular facial combines micro-needling and platelet-rich plasma obtained from your own blood and contains high levels of growth factors that stimulate cellular turnover.

If you would like to try the vampire facial, it is best done 6-9 months before the wedding for a visible improvement of wrinkles and fine lines, uneven skin texture and mild facial sagging.

Do not Try New Skincare Products or Treatment

During your final weeks before your special day, avoid trying new skincare products or treatments to prevent any irritation or flare-up. Of course, the last thing you want a few weeks before the wedding is a bad reaction to something new you tried. So keep the things that work for you.
