Wedding planning can be exciting, but supplier meetings, last-minute changes, and a busy schedule can also make it easy to forget one important thing: taking care of your skin and overall bridal glow.
To help you prepare for your big day, we put together six essential skin care and beauty treatments every bride-to-be can consider before the wedding.
1. Relaxing facial treatment
A relaxing facial treatment is best done 6 to 8 months before your wedding. This helps cleanse the skin from impurities, blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples, giving your skin enough time to heal and look its best before the big day.
If you have active acne, we highly recommend getting your skin assessed by one of our associate dermatologists. This allows us to prepare a customized treatment plan at least 6 to 8 months before your wedding.
Bridal skin care tip: If you are experiencing back acne, you may also consider having it extracted at least a month before your wedding. This can help your skin look smoother, especially if your wedding dress exposes your back.
2. Beauty drip
A beauty drip can help support a healthy glow from within. Beauty drips are not only used for skin brightening, but they may also contain vitamins and amino acids that help support energy and overall wellness.
This can be helpful for brides who feel tired from wedding planning and want to look more radiant before the big day.
Bridal beauty tip: It is best to start beauty drips at least 3 to 4 months before your wedding, usually twice a month, to see more visible results.
3. Laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is a popular treatment for brides who want to feel more confident and comfortable on their wedding day. It can help reduce the need for shaving or waxing and may also help prevent skin pigmentation and chicken skin caused by frequent hair removal.
Laser hair removal is best done at least 5 to 6 months before your wedding, with sessions usually done once a month.
Bridal beauty tip: Brazilian laser hair removal is also available for brides who want a more convenient and hygienic option before the wedding. The procedure is performed by an internationally trained laser specialist to help make the treatment safe and effective.
4. Ultherapy
Getting enough rest is important before the wedding, but this is also when last-minute planning often happens. Lack of sleep can make you feel tired and may also affect the appearance of your skin, especially around the eyes.
Ultherapy is a non-surgical skin lifting and tightening treatment that can help refresh your look without going under the knife. It is a good option for brides who want a lifted appearance with minimal downtime.
Since Ultherapy usually requires only one session, it can fit into a busy bridal schedule.
Bridal beauty tip: For optimal results, consider doing Ultherapy 2 to 3 months before your wedding day.
5. Hair blowout or hair treatment
No bride wants frizzy, dry, or dull hair on her wedding day. A visit to a trusted hair salon before the wedding can help you prepare your hair for your final bridal look.
Depending on your hair condition, you may need a simple haircut, a blowout, a treatment, or even a full hair color makeover. It is best to book your appointment ahead of time so your stylist can recommend the right treatment plan.
Bridal hair tip: Show your hair peg to your trusted hair stylist to avoid wedding day mishaps. A trial hair and makeup session is also highly recommended.
6. Brow microblading
Well-shaped brows can complete your bridal look. Brow microblading is a semi-permanent treatment that can help make your brows look fuller and more defined, even without makeup.
This can be especially helpful after the wedding, when you want to wake up looking fresh and put together. Since microblading is semi-permanent and may last for a year or more, it is important to go to an extensively trained and certified specialist.
Having your brows microbladed before your big day can save you time and help you feel more confident during and after the wedding.
Final bridal beauty reminder
Lastly, remember to relax, chill, and unwind. Getting a highly recommended wedding organizer can help reduce stress so you can focus on what truly matters: the memories from your special day and the life you will build after it.
