We have some recommendations for what to do and what not to do in the weeks leading up to your wedding, check them out, you might be surprised!
Experimenting with New Skincare Products
We suggest not try anything new on your face in the 2 months leading up to your wedding.
Here me out!
When you get a facial, your skin is being “deep cleaned” which can cause all the impurities in your skin to come to the surface which then we see acne!
I know what your thinking, well dang, that’s no fun!
Maybe you wanted to have a special spa day to pamper yourself right before your big day, no worries!
You can totally do that! Just try to stick to a facial you have done in the past so (hopefully) there are no unwanted skin surprises.
Microdermabrasion’s are a great way to (gently) get all the dead skin off your face to ensure a super smooth makeup application.
If you suffer from acne scars, micro-needling could be an option for you to help clear up those scars, but seeing results takes time so we recommend starting those about a year before your wedding.
Chat with your facialist to find out what’s best for you and your skin.
Not Drinking Water
You would be surprised at how many amazing benefits water has for your body!
Not only does it detox your body (and it costs next to nothing), it can also help with acne issues and discoloration.
I had an issue with dark under eye circles even though I got enough sleep. So I did a little experiment, I drank tons of water for a month and to my surprise my dark circles started to lighten up! Woohoo!
I took my body weight / 2 and BAM that’s the magic number.
If I drank coffee or tea, I offset that with an additional 8 ounces of water.
I also noticed a ton of natural energy!
Try it out and let me know if you notice a difference like I did. Your body will thank you!
Waxing & Threading
We love a good groomed brow, we recommend getting any waxing or threading done 1 week before your wedding.
Then, in the days leading up to your wedding you can touch up by plucking as needed.
When your skin has been freshly waxed or threaded, your skin can be red, irritated or even a bit swollen depending on how sensitive your skin is, waxing can even cause breakouts.
Makeup tends to not stick as well to skin when it has just been waxed.
And for heavens sake, do not cheat on your trusted brow connoisseur!
First Spray Tan
We love spray tans, when they are fresh and done correctly.
We don’t recommend trying your first spray tan right before your wedding, instead test it out a couple months prior to your date.
This will give you time to make sure you love the look and if not, you still have time to get rid of it.
There are tons of different spray tan formulas out there so give yourself enough time to find the formula that works best for your skin.
Popping Pimples
Trust me, I know it’s tempting, but try your best to refrain from popping your pimples.
Popping pimples can cause scabs which can be difficult to cover, discoloration is no problem at all to cover with makeup, but texture can be tougher to camouflage.
Besides making a scab, you can make the matter worse from the potential oil and dirt on your fingers.
We recommend doing your best to leave the area alone and let it run its course.
Try a trusted acne lotion instead of popping it, our favorite is by Image Skin Care, but be careful, it sure is strong!
Stress Less!
Your wedding is a day you have been dreaming of for quite some time now!
So take it all in and enjoy it! It’s easy to get caught up in minor details such as cake, flowers or table décor but remember, what matters most is you and your love are tying the knot!
You two lovebirds are going to spend the rest of your lives together, everything else is extra.
Your wedding day will be over in the blink of an eye, so be sure to enjoy every moment of it!
