12-Month Bridal Skincare Guide For All The Brides To Be!
For many, the holiday season is a time for wedding engagements. Then comes planning for the wedding summer and fall seasons. We write this blog in hopes to assist the brides and grooms wanting to look or their best on the big day. Bridal Skincare is one thing you can manage when other things can seem out of your control.
Understanding the importance of bridal skincare, below, we outline what steps you can take during this planning time.
6-12 Months Beginner-Level Preparation For Bridal Skincare
Start a daily routine for your skin if you haven’t already. Topic, at-home products should contain Vitamins A, C, E, antioxidants, peptides and growth factors. These ingredients are well-researched and clinically tested to show results of improved-looking skin. Environ products take the guesswork out of skincare management, and all their products pack a punch with these important ingredients.
Keep it simple: Cleanse, Tone, Moisturize and Protect with the best products available in the market.
6-12 Months Advanced Preparation (Bridal Skincare)
For advanced skincare lovers, follow the above advice, and also invest in an Environ Cosmetic-CIT™ Roller to help encourage your skin’s collagen production. This can be used as often as a few times a week. So, do include it in your bridal skincare and roll the surface of your skin for 3-5 minutes prior to applying your daily moisturizer and serum.
6-12 months prior is also an appropriate timeframe to call your skincare technician. Schedule an intensive skincare peel, micro-needling treatment, microdermabrasion or other deeper-lever services to address serious or long-term skincare concerns. The healing time necessary for these services lend them to be appropriate for 6-12 months prior to the wedding day.
This is likely when you’re picking out your wedding gown or tuxedo, the perfect time to envision how great those wedding photos will turn out when all is said and done. So, when it comes to pre-wedding bridal skincare, you must consider calling an expert for help and guidance.
4-6 Months Prior To The BIG DAY
(Another important bridal skincare tip)
Maintain your daily pre-wedding bridal skincare schedule. Also, add in a short hydrating or basic facial each month leading up to the wedding day. These more soothing skin “check-ups” will give you incredibly professional-looking results.
Dietary changes may also be considered and are appropriate for 4-12 months prior to the wedding. We know, scientifically, diet does affect the skin. What you eat can help or hurt the look of great skin. The skin is the last organ to reap the benefits of ingested vitamins and minerals. That is why it is important to eat antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables as well as use nutrient-dense topical products. High-water content and vitamin-rich foods should become your best friends. Leafy greens, cucumbers, melons, bell peppers, apples, berries and green tea are just a few “super” skin foods to help your daily efforts towards healthy-looking skin.
Diet and lifestyle are directly connected to optimal skincare management.
Bridal Skincare Routine 3 Months Prior To The BIG DAY
When it comes to bridal skincare before 3 months from the wedding day, we would recommend you continue your daily skin-care routine and monthly basic facials.
Book a trial run with your makeup artist and hair designer. This is crucial to ensuring your vision matches their perception of you on the wedding day. This is also a good timeframe to place an order for day-of beauty tools like makeup finishing spray or travel-sized products for the honeymoon.
Ask us about travel or sample-sized skincare products for your travel needs.
Bridal skin care 2 Months Prior to your wedding
Remember your body. In addition to the lengths we go to for fantastic looking face and neck areas, what about the arms and legs? If you have uneven skin tone, redness or bumps on the bikini area, legs, arms or chest, consider this. The Environ Derma-Lac lotion contains several excellent moisturizers including lactic acid, helping to gently remove dead skin cells and ammonium lactate. Follow this step with Environ’s A, C, & E Boil Oil and a broad spectrum SPF.
The wedding photographs will no doubt capture your glowing skin, face to body.
Bridal skincare routine before 1 month
Even in the last-minute busy days of wedding planning, keep up your daily skin management practices. This includes a daily pre-wedding skincare day/night routine, using SPF on the face and neck, getting to your monthly facial, making mindful food choices and using effective body care products.
About a month before the wedding, take time to schedule a wax, hair colour touch up, spray tan or manicure with thoughtful precision. Ideally during the week or two prior to the wedding, depending on the service.
1 month out is *not* the time to book an intensive bridal skincare treatment requiring days or weeks of recovery time. Opt for a brightening facial or something of a similar gentle yet effective level of intensity.
Bridal Skincare 1 Week Prior To Your Wedding
Attend your appointments (hair, wax, tan, nails, etc), and lean into feeling that sweet anticipation before the big party. Consider extra pampering time for yourself as a long bath, an SPF containing lip balm, extra-creamy Environ hand and nail cream or even an at-home teeth whitening kit.
Skincare Tips A Night Before Your Day!
Sleep can be your best friend. Follow your daily nighttime skincare routine, and get a good night’s rest.
Day Off!
Following your typical morning routine- cleanse, tone, moisturize and protect the skin, as usual. Hydrate– Drink plenty of water in the morning. Eat a big lunch; you likely won’t have time to indulge in a full dinner at the party. Prior to getting hair or makeup done, sneak away for a brief yoga or meditation session to check your nerves.
Let the professionals take over. Assuming makeup artists, planners and others are there to assist, let them. Enjoy your day of pampering and general celebration. You’ve planned hard for this day.
Let your skin shine!
Post-Wedding Skincare Tips
When all the photos are in, the gifts are unwrapped, and the honeymoon fatigue has worn off, do keep up the habits you’ve grown into this year with your skin. Though wedding day preparation is a great excuse to start good habits, it’s up to you to maintain the skincare routine.
Using Environ products will help you maintain beautiful, healthy-looking skin for a lifetime, come rain or come shine.
